For fans of freshwater and saltwater fishing, you couldn't ask for better than Florida. The Sunshine State has thousands of lakes, dozens of rivers, and a year-round fishing season. If you're planning any fishing trip in Florida, here are a few tips to keep in mind before you drop your line in the water.
Whether you are a resident of Florida or just visiting, be sure you have a current fishing license. Fishermen over the age of 16 are required to obtain a fishing license before fishing in freshwaters or saltwater unless you are fishing on a privately-owned pond. The rules and regulations for saltwater fishing are different from freshwater fishing. Learn more about the rules and regulations and obtain a license before you fish!
