The holiday season is here, and I can’t think of a better way to spend it with family and friends than enjoying Florida’s iconic fisheries or in the woods hunting. Fishing and Florida are inseparable. Did you know that Florida leads the nation in the number of saltwater fishing anglers, generating a staggering $9.2 billion impact on the State of Florida’s economy? It’s a testament to our state’s rich natural resources and the passion of its residents.
Recently, Governor Ron DeSantis signed an executive order directing the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to provide substantial discounts on select resident hunting and fishing licenses through Jan. 3, 2025.
Just in time for the holidays, the executive order provides a 50% discount on the annual and five-year Gold Sportsman licenses, as well as Youth Lifetime Sportsman licenses (for ages 0-17). Additionally, the annual freshwater/saltwater fishing combination license is reduced to only $5, making it easier than ever for families to enjoy fishing in Florida’s diverse aquatic environments. From the crystal-clear springs to the rich mangroves, there’s a whole world waiting to be explored.
This initiative is a fantastic opportunity for Florida families to spend quality time outdoors and to connect with our state’s remarkable wildlife and ecosystems. We’re excited to open the door for more residents to explore hunting and fishing in Florida and hope that it inspires Floridians to support conservation efforts across the state.
Residents can easily take advantage of these discounted licenses. They can be purchased online at GoOutdoorsFlorida.com, in person at their local tax collector’s office, or through the Fish|Hunt FL App, available on Apple and Android devices. The process is simple and convenient, ensuring you can start your outdoor adventures without hassle.
