Whats the deal with the new Florida fishing law?
cparkmi331 asked:
What exactly is the new law? Also, I know in Florida it used to be that if you have to pay to fish, such as fishing the Sunshine Skyway pier, that you don’t need a fishing license. Is that still the case?
I need a license on the skyway even though I have to pay to fish the skyway?
is this law in effect yet?

The new law is everyone will need a license now weather your fishing from shore the Goodyear Blimp, wading or a pier. The only time you won’t need one is on a charter boat. You’ll need a license on the Sunshine.
Create a video blog…instantly.
As before, if you’re paying a guide, captian, or pier to fish, you don’t need a license.
If you’re fishing from shore, pier, etc, you’ll need a license, now if I’m not mistaken, the shorefishing license isn’t the same thing as a regular saltwater fishing license… I believe it’s something like $18 compared to the $20-something that your saltwater from boats fishing license is… you still don’t need a license for a cane pole (I predict an uprising of simplistic fishing next month)… this doesn’t go into effect until the first of August… and here’s a link to the state’s website just to make sure I didn’t make any boo-boo’s.
Oh, wow… I did make a boo-boo… it’s only $7.50 (plus any taxes or service charges, but still)
There’s something nice, too… if you get food stamps, temporary cash assistance or medicaid, you’re exempt from it… hm.
anyway, here’s the link.
