Florida Fishing License

How Many Fishing Licenses Are Issued in Florida?

There are almost 2 million fishing licenses issued to residents and visitors as of the end of the year 2020. This is according to the Florida Fish And Wildlife Conservation Commission (“FWC”). Persons under the age of 16 or over the age of 65 do not need a fishing license. There are also some exceptions were no fishing license is required: fishing on a private pond of less than 20 acres, fishing in your home county with a cane pole, and non-resident service members, etc.

The number of fishing licenses issued is an indication of how many vessels are on the water in Florida. If the present increasing trend in numbers holds up, we should see 1 million vessels registered in the State of Florida in 2021. If you boat on the weekends then you know how busy it can be.
