MIAMI (WSVN) - For residents and visitors without a fishing license, there will be two license-free fishing weekends in June, said Florida’s governor.

Gov. Rick Scott announced, Friday, that beginning Saturday and Sunday, fishing in salt water without a license will be allowed.

The following Saturday and Sunday will, also, be license-free, but exclusive to fresh water fishing.

Scott said he wants families to take advantage of this opportunity to enjoy both summer and fishing together.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission will be hosting two license-free fishing events, as well.
