I live in California and I am planning to go to Florida for a week or so. Being in there, I would like to go fishing, but I would like to know if a fishing licence is required for an ot-of-the state senior citizen.

reading through that says u have to be 65+ and a FL RESIDENT to be exempt from fishing license….unless u are on a chartered boat…….
also u don’t need a license if its on a private pond…
so u WILL need a non-resident license most likely….
EDIT: @ sonny H …i gave the link that CLEARLY states resident’s ONLY are exempt…..
any one over 65 does not have to have a license in florida, all they have to do is show there id card, not sure about out of States visiting, but guessing they would be included also-i hope,
