Fishing license requirements for Florida vary, depending upon which water you choose to fish, salt or fresh. A fishing license is required for all anglers over the age of 16 for fresh water fishing in Florida. For saltwater fishing, the Florida fishing license requirements are a bit more complicated. Angling in Florida is permitted without a fishing license, provided that the angler is not yet 16 years of age. For those people 16 and over, a license is required for saltwater fishing from a boat. There are specific instances when you are not required to have a Florida fishing license including when you fish off a pier that is attached to the shore or when you fish from shore (specifically in saltwater). If you are fishing from any floating object boat, a fishing license must be obtain, which is not found on the shore. If you want to have a fishing guide to assist your Florida fishing trip, he/she can easily be found in all major harbors and bait shops.

Your fishing guide purchases a Florida fishing license for his boat, and this will license all of the passengers aboard. A fishing trip to Florida is a fun and exciting activity for your whole family!
