That's interesting!!In Mississippi, after age 65, your fishing license is your DL....ya never have to buy one after 65th b'day....also covers small game license.........they'd go broke in Florida if they did that here....

Which is probably why they don't!
Hey Mike, look at the license and see if it is transferable to family members

Lol, actually in Florida if you are over 65...you just go and show your DL with proof of address and you get a free fishing license for fresh or salt water....that's how I got mine

Bruce, you need to be a florida resident for the over 65 fishing license. They make a ton of money off the under 65 group and the snowbirds who come to fish for the winter or the tournament fishermen, I guess they figure us older residents deserve some benifit from putting up with the snowbirds taking over the state and causing traffic issues

I thought it was the old people in FL that caused the traffic problems

Yes dear, it's the old people from out of state that come here for the winter, that don't know where they are driving, ...don't know the area , .....won't slow down when it's raining ( which makes some heavily traveled roads like black ice) ...and tend to code with medical issues while driving, causing accidents, ....most of those "old people are in their 80's..".that is why (I believe) residents over 65 ( Who tend to avoid the snowbirds) get a free fishing pass ., it is a well earned reward

Texas used to call those old people who flew or drove south for the winter, snowbirds. Then someone got smart, figured out all the money the snowbirds spent and started calling them Winter Texans. Much more polite, bless their hearts.

When i lived in Arizona, even the snowbirds called other people snowbirds...and they mean't it as an insult!
