The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be celebrating a saltwater license-free fishing day June 1 and a freshwater license-free fishing day June 8 by partaking in several events the first week of June.
License-free fishing days are a great opportunity for Florida’s residents and visitors to cast a line into the water and get hooked on saltwater and freshwater fishing. Anglers are not required to have a saltwater recreational fishing license on June 1 or a freshwater recreational fishing license on June 8.
To help celebrate, FWC staff will be at several boat ramps and docks talking with the public about saltwater fishing. Staff will also be greeting visitors at the welcome centers on Interstate 95 and I-75, participating in Visit Florida’s Fishing Month. Staff will talk about how to handle fish, use dehooking tools, general boating safety and more. A women’s fishing clinic is also scheduled. Check the listings for events in your area.
