Florida Fishing Licenses

I just looked to see if I would need a fishing license to go fishing from a bridge or land mass? It turns out I don't, for now.

As of right now, there is no need for a license, saltwater or freshwater, if one is fishing from a permanent bridge or mass of land. Unfortunately, on August 1st the standards are changing where each person wanting to fish, whether it is on land or in a vessel, will be required to carry a fishing license.

Licenses are relatively inexpensive and prices are $17.00 for an annual saltwater license and $32.50 for an annual freshwater/saltwater combination. The website all of the recreational and commercial sporting license requirements for the State of Florida are posted at:
