License?

[K-DOG]

I was planning a vacation to Panama City Beach and planned on fishing the pier by Treasure Island Resort and was wondering do i need an out of state license to fish the ocean?

I am not sure about piers but if you fish from the shore or a boat you will need a non resident license. $49.50 for an annual, and around $30 for a week and around $20 for a 3-day.

Check on the link below for Florida Regs, but looks like you will need to but a Lic.

2. Who is required to have a valid shoreline fishing license with them?
Resident saltwater anglers who fish from shore or a structure affixed to shore will need to buy a shoreline fishing license unless they have a regular saltwater fishing license or are exempt.

7. Do nonresident anglers qualify for the shoreline license?
No. The shoreline fishing license is available to Florida residents only. Nonresident saltwater anglers must purchase a regular nonresident saltwater fishing license at $17 for three days, $30 for seven days or $47 for one year, regardless of whether they fish from shore or a vessel. These prices include administrative fees, but handling fees are additional.

Good luck with the fishes...

Unless you are fishing with a licensed guide on his boat you will need a license...

If you have to pay to fish the pier you dont need a license.
