Try your hand at saltwater fishing Saturday, Sept. 7, without needing a saltwater fishing license. License-free fishing days are a great way for Florida residents and visitors to get out on the water and find out why Florida is known as the Fishing Capital of the World.
Locally, the tarpon bite has been good. Bull redfish and tripletail are starting to show, the tripletail seem to be on the small side. Flounder will pick up over the next month as well.
This day is part of eight total license-free fishing days the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) offers each year. All bag limits, closed areas and size restrictions apply on these dates. To learn more, click here. For fishing regulations and tips, click here….
