Forgetting Something?

Spoke about shaving, sunblock vs. sunscreen, catching bait to catch fish and not once did I mention the need for a fishing license. Unless you're under 16 or over 65 you will need a fishing license. These can be purchased online, over the phone, at bait and tackle shops, tax collectors' office and even Wal-Mart. They are not costly and are valid for a full year from the date of purchase. Keep in mind that if you add a permit such as "crawfish," it does not allow you to catch it unless in that particular catching season. There are requirements as far as fish weight and length goes as well as a limit on how many fish per person. Make sure that you can legally take your catch home or be ready to pay the fine(s). Do not start cleaning (gutting) your fish while out in the water, this, too, can cost you. Pay attention to what you catch and make sure you can keep it. The idea is to have fun while abiding with Florida Law. Here is a link that can better inform you on obtaining a license: http://www.floridasportsman.com/
