Florida Fish and Wildlife is making fishing accessible for all people in the state through another weekend of free freshwater fishing.
On April 5th and 6th, recreational freshwater fishing will be allowed for anyone, even those without a license.

FWC’s website says,“License-free fishing days provide an excellent opportunity for those who don’t yet have a fishing license to experience fishing, take youth fishing, or for avid anglers to introduce a friend to fishing without having to purchase a license.”
All other rules like seasons, bag and size limits still apply.
This year, there is one other license-free weekend for freshwater fishing. That will be held on the second consecutive Saturday and Sunday this June.
