The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission allow for several free fishing days per year to provide an excellent opportunity for parents who don't yet have licenses to take youth fishing, or avid anglers to introduce a friend to fishing without having to purchase a license. On these days, the fishing license requirement is waived for all recreational anglers (residents and non-residents).

All other rules (e.g., seasons, bag and size limits) apply.
License-free freshwater days
First Saturday and Sunday in April
Second Saturday and Sunday in June
License-free saltwater days
First Saturday and Sunday in June

Saturday following Thanksgiving
The saltwater waiver applies to any recreational harvest requiring a saltwater fishing license (e.g., crabbing, lobstering, scalloping, etc.) as well as fishing from shore or a boat. A snook or spiny lobster permit are not required on these days.
