Did they change something? I always thought you could surf/jetty fish in the county you reside in, w/o a salt water license? But unless Im missing a clause somewhere, it looks like you need one now? Im in Volusia, looking to fish the surf/jetties in New Smyrna Beach.. Thanks for any info!
Nope , you need the license. And it is free which really boggles the mind.

Yep it is confusing but you've got to have one.
Thanks fellas! Didn't see that it was free.. Was about to donate 17.00 more to the FWC "spray poison" fund..
I kept having different women tell me I could get a free license at BPS. I thought they meant freshwater and all the way they talk. So asked while at BPS. It was free only for the purpose you are asking about. They asked if I wanted it added to my license. I told them no thanks.Originally Posted by Mickstix

I got it off the FWC site.. "Handling" fee was $1.80 and I just printed it out. May not use it, but nice to have if you get an itch.
Whats real confusing is, mine expired last year and didn't renew because I hadn't been and didn't need it. I get mine on the FWC site, and Bassmeister came down for a visit and wanted to go to Talquin. I got online and got both fresh and salt licenses, I turned 66 in May and when I went to pay it came up and said both were free, and if I wanted to pay the fee it would be a donation. I didn't donate and got a freebie.I got it off the FWC site.. "Handling" fee was $1.80 and I just printed it out.

But now they just put it toward more poison Im afraid.. And the ramps are getting ridiculous.. Can't even get a porta-jon at the Monroe ramp..
That is when You wade out just above the waist line. This is when a 5'6 spinning rod comes in handy
Im afraid to ask.. But feel I need to know! What's the spinning rod for?That is when You wade out just above the waist line. This is when a 5'6 spinning rod comes in handy

The Rod serves a 'dual purpose' role. Whilst You're defecating, it is usually best to go 'down the lake' from Your personal ecological niche, something about 'crapping where You eat', You hold the rod to make it appear that You're elbow deep in Angling for any would-be witnesses or FWC™ Staff looking for new spots to empty kegs of carcinogens, and if Your pants/shorts float away You use the rod to wrangle them. Don't ask how I know that 5'6 is the desired length...
Now if You ever wondered 'Why all this weird stuff happens here???...' Many 'experts' feel this is due to Folks evacuating in the local water supply but many didn't realize that the Withlacochee River flows North, one of 2 or 3 rivers in the world that does so.. Ergo...
It is called the Saltwater Shoreline License. And yes it is Free but you have to have it and it is only available to Florida Residents.
At and after age 65 you no longer need a license for Fishing or Hunting, just show your driver license (florida Resident)
