TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission announced a saltwater license-free fishing day for this Saturday, Nov. 29.

Florida residents and visitors can experience Florida’s unique saltwater fishing opportunities first hand without being required to have a recreational saltwater fishing license.

Florida offers eight license-free fishing opportunities a year including four in freshwater and four in saltwater.

An annual license for residents can be purchased at 1-888-FISH-Florida or at License.MyFWC.com. All fishing license fees are used to support Florida fish and wildlife conservation and help attain additional funding for Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration projects.
