Beach fishing

SaigaAkGlock · Jun 11, 2015

Just wondering if one needs to obtain a fishing license, in the state of FL, in order to fish from the beach, pier,etc...

Pier, no its included in your fee to fish the pier. Beach or anywhere that is not a charter, yes.

What about from my hotel balcony while drinking my natural lite beer?

That is not fishing, it is trolling. No license required.

Fishing from the beach you definitely need a license.

What about with a cane pole?

What would happen to my rod, if I were to use my fresh water set up?

It will be fine as long as you wash it down after use and definitely tear down and clean/lube when you return home
