Fish in Jacksonville for free!?!

June 9th, 2010 by thegeek | Filed under FishingJacksonville Website Updates.

The shoreline fishing license for Florida residents to catch saltwater fish from shore or a structure affixed to shore cost $9 last year, but this year it’s free, beginning July 1.

The Florida Legislature repealed the shoreline license fee during the past session. However, legislators retained the license requirement to prevent a more-costly federal registration fee from taking effect in Florida.

Only Florida residents qualify for a no-cost shoreline license, and the license does not cover fishing from a boat or fishing from a location or structure accessible only by boat.

There is still a 2-3 $ fee for purchasing the licences…aka convenience fee
