Florida residents 65 years of age or older may obtain a FREE
Resident Senior Citizen Hunting and Fishing Certificate from
any Lake
County Tax Collector Office location.
Licensing requirements follow the species of fish you are
fishing for, regardless of where you are fishing. For example,
anglers fishing for and possessing largemouth bass in brackish
water need a freshwater license; anglers fishing for saltwater
species in freshwater (e.g., spotted sea trout, red drum,
snook, American shad) need a saltwater license to possess
these species.
The money collected from saltwater fishing licenses is used
to improve and restore fish habitat, for marine fisheries
research, law enforcement, and public education on marine
resources.
