Get over it.......

Not really a racing thing but as of August 1st, if you fish in salt water, you will have to have a fishing license. Don't mater if you are on a bridge or standing on the shore. Just like fresh water.

Just another way to nickel and dime you death.

Unless you are 65 or older, then you don't need a license. Old guys Rule!!!

Not so Bob...

i went to get my 5 yr. fishing license. She told me I didnt need one because i am over 65. I thought that was great until she said it was only until Sept. So i asked her to give me the 5 yr. one now. she tried but the computers wouldnt let her...
i didnt complain because the cost of a fishing license goes towards research etc. its worth it. i think the 5 yr. one was $79.00 + $10 for snook and $10 for lobster.
This was only for salt water. i didnt check on fresh...thats another one...
so in Sept. make sure you check out the new laws Bob if you plan on going fishing.

Durn Carol, You burst my bubble. What you're telling me is old guys don't rule???

[dnsno]

I agree about the fee(s) going to reserch. I also agree with the old guys and gals rule to. But the age should be lowerd to fifty eight. And with any and all military veterans, with proof of service of course, there should'nt be a fee

Being on disibility will also allow you to get a fishing license. I found this out after I paid thirty seven dollors for my combination fresh and salt water. The piece of mind is well worth the money.

Hot diggity!! My check has been deposited. I'm going fishin!!

See yall at the race's if mother nature don't ruin a good weekend at CCMP!!!

Let me get this one clear please:
I go 15 miles off shore and I need a LICENSE to FISH in the OCEAN??
I understand in the ST Johns but the ocean??
I have a motor out of a Small block modified in my boat so that makes this post OK!!
25 ft Grady White with 450 hp Fresh water cooled back up motor from the Z8. Did not want it just sitting around

the laws are tricky...

if i remember correctly the laws of florida only pertain to 9 miles out. BUTTT
if you catch an undersized grouper or snapper and "the man" is waiting on the dock to check fish sizes it will be hard for you to prove you got it 9+ miles out. i would not suggest trying to get away with ANYTHING illegal offshore unless you dont care if they take your boat and everything on it, possible fines and jail. Id rather go to Fishermans Wharf & order a fish dinner.....
they have to make rules... i knew a guy once who came back from the Keys with over 400 lobsters... alot of them undersized. he was lucky he didnt get caught, but if a million people did that how long will it take until we dont have any? there are millions of people who dive in the keys and up the east coast for lobster every year.
fresh water fishermen seem to have more respect for the environment. ive done both all my life so i just might be right this time. ;-)

Stupid goverinor Crist taxing poor people to death. They also raised the price of auto tags and driver license renewals.

Also reduced "Bright Futures" awards to those that earned it during high school for College (lotto money funded)

Also raised in State tuition for State Universities (again)

I'm in the wrong tax bracket for ANY "free" money....but see it in my future when we're broke! (yea right!!)
