No license required Saturday for saltwater fishing in Florida

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida is offering anglers the opportunity to fish in saltwater without a license on Saturday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said in a news release that license-free fishing days offer a "special opportunity to enjoy Florida's beautiful outdoors."

"I encourage all Floridians and visitors to take advantage," DeSantis said.

This is one of eight license-free fishing days the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission offers each year.

FWC executive director Eric Sutton said this is a "great opportunity to introduce someone to fishing for the first time."

All other rules such as seasons, bag and size limits still apply.
