If you are looking for a fun activity to do, possibly with family or friends, next weekend, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) invites residents and visitors to go fishing in Florida during its two license-free weekends.
While the free saltwater weekend wrapped up this weekend (June 4-5), next weekend (June 11-12) is the weekend for free freshwater fishing.
License-free fishing days provide a fun opportunity for new anglers to try fishing for the first time or experienced anglers to introduce a friend or family member to a new hobby. The fishing license requirements are waived for all recreational anglers during these dates but all other rules including seasons, bag and size limits still apply.
Looking for a freshwater fishing spot? Some of Florida’s freshwater lakes have special largemouth bass swimming in them, worth big prizes! Join our TrophyCatch program’s 10th season and learn more about the 10-Tag Celebration on TrophyCatch.com.
