Fitting perfectly with the Navarre Fishing Rodeo, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) will be allowing a saltwater license-free fishing day this Saturday, June 1.

A freshwater license-free fishing day will also be held on June 8.

License-free fishing days are a great opportunity for Navarre residents and visitors to cast a line into the water and get hooked on saltwater and freshwater fishing. Anglers are not required to have a saltwater recreational fishing license on June 1 or a freshwater recreational fishing license on June 8.

“We hope visitors and residents alike will be able to join in the excitement of Florida’s saltwater and freshwater fishing this year by participating in one of our license-free fishing days or attending an event surrounding the days,” said FWC Executive Director Nick Wiley. “This is an excellent opportunity to share the fun and togetherness of a fishing trip with the entire family or to introduce someone to a lifetime hobby of fishing.”
