Fishing License?

[aeon6669]

I read on a website that you need a fishing license to get lobsters? Is that true? Sorry, I just want to be prepared. I'm brand new to this.

Yes, you not only need a recreational saltwater fishing license, but you also need a lobster permit. The lobster permit sometimes called a lobster stamp or endorsement is an additional $5 over the cost of the recreational saltwater fishing license which is $17.00 as of 2013. You can purchase both by going to most local sporting goods type stores, walmart, or online @ http://myfwc.com/license/recreational/s ... r-fishing/. You can also call 1-888-FISH-FLORIDA (347-4356) to purchase a license by phone.

You will pay more if you cant prove residency for 6 months i think it is -
