Fishing License Basics Generally, anyone 16 and over is required to have a fishing license. Annual resident license fees vary, but are generally available for under $25. Residency requirements range from 30 days to 6 months in the state for eligibility. People 65 and older are eligible for discounted fishing licenses in some states and free fishing in others. Check License Information By State Check fishing regulations for the areas where you plan to fish. If heading for fresh water, be sure that you and your passengers have appropriate licenses for that state. Some states, such as Florida and Alabama, require fishing licenses for saltwater and freshwater. In fact, anglers must possess both licenses or a "combo license" should they fish in estuaries where fresh and saltwater commingle. Other states do not require saltwater fishing licenses. New Jersey is among the states considering a proposal to institute saltwater fishing licenses.
