(WSVN) - Get your fishing poles ready! License-free fishing days for both freshwater and saltwater fish are this month.
A license is often required for residents to fish legally here in Florida. However, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission allows fishing without a license on select days during the year.
Recreational license-free #fishing weekends are June 6-7 for #saltwater fishing and June 13-14 for #freshwater fishing. Keep an eye on the weather, especially since Cristobal may cause heavy rainfall in some areas of the state this weekend! https://t.co/v4cu0rIrrp #Florida pic.twitter.com/wAw2j6KIKj
