Before purchasing a recreational saltwater fishing license or permit, please make sure you understand what qualifies as Florida residency and whether you really need a license or permit based on the exemptions. *If you have a resident recreational saltwater fishing license, you do not need a shoreline fishing license, because the resident recreational saltwater fishing license covers fishing from the shore, a dock, a jetty or a boat.
