No license needed to fish!

Here in Perdido fishing is a lifestyle.  Free fishing days are a great opportunity for parents who don’t have licenses to take the kids out or for an avid angler to introduce a friend without having to purchase a license.  On these days, the fishing license requirement is waived for all recreational anglers be they residents or non-residents alike.  All other rules (i.e.: seasons, bag, and size limits apply).  Perdido Key has some of the best spots to offshore fish and lots of charter boat options.

License free freshwater days: 12/28/13,  4/5/14, 4/6/14, 6/7/14, 6/8/14

License free saltwater days: 6/7/14, 6/8/14, 9/6/14, 11/29/14

The saltwater waiver also applies to any of the recreational harvesting that normally needs a fishing license (crabbing, lobstering, scalloping, etc.) as well as fishing from a shore or boat.  So be sure to come and ask the locals in Perdido Key where the fish are biting!
