You need a ticket to ride (and fish)

Hello there fish fans!
I know we've covered this before but it never hurts to mention the subject of licenses again.
As a general rule of thumb, if you have to pay for your fishing you don’t have to buy a fishing license. Otherwise, remember, if you are going to go fishing in the waters off Anna Maria Island you have to purchase a license and obey the local fishing regulations. For more information on the laws and regulations visit www.MyFlorida.com/fwc or call 1(888) Fish-Florida.
To buy a fishing license to fish Anna Maria Island waters, go to any of the tax collector offices (Bradenton, Palmetto or Holmes Beach). You can also buy a license at any Wal-Mart or Kmart store in Manatee County. Also remember to check the legal limits for taking fish, and the bag limits and closed seasons for each separate species.
So get legal and get fishing.
Oh, and tight lines!
