It’s easy to understand why Florida is a top destination for watersports. Florida has more than 7,800 lakes, 8,426 miles of shoreline and 1,711 rivers and streams site on a 500-mile long peninsula from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean.
Fishing and boating, two of the state’s most popular watersports, can be enjoyed virtually all year long.
Before you cast that line and expect a snapper, you should get familiar with the fishing seasons. Not all species are available year round, but if you brush up on your fishing knowledge, you can use the seasonal surplus to your advantage.
Plan your fishing experience today, but don’t forget, all other regulations such as seasons, size limits and bag limits still apply on these days. Visit www.MyFWC.com/Fishing to learn more about saltwater and freshwater fishing in Florida.
