Testimonials

Florida is like no other place on Earth!^TM Working together we can keep it that way.

Avid Fisherman
I am an avid fisherman and in about 2 months I will turn 70.
In March of 2012, I purchased a 5 year Florida Saltwater Fishing License because I support the FWC and their work.
I don’t know if you can use me as 1 of the 200,000 but I thought you should know that I back your efforts.
Great work, keep it up!
—Paul Kelmer, Brandon, Florida

Jeff Macharyas

I’m new to fishing, but since I now live on Fort Pierce Beach, I got my first-ever fishing license when I renewed my car tags a few days ago. I even spent a little more to get the card. I’m glad I have a chance to help conservation efforts. Living so close to the inlet and beach I can really see just how important it is to preserve what we have.

Your $17 investment today helps achieve goals tomorrow.

You don’t even have to fish to benefit from purchasing a Florida fishing license. The revenue collected from fishing licenses is used to improve and enhance fishing and boating opportunities throughout the state in salt and fresh waters. Things like public marinas, boat ramps, fishing clinics, and artificial reefs are the types of programs funded with your fishing license dollars.
