Boatless Fishing Forum, Reports, Info

So okay I have a normal lic and have the Snook permit addition.... But what about those that fish a Pier that covers the lic part???? does the pier also cover the Snook permit? or do you need the Full lic? Can you get just the snook part?

Since the shoreline part is gone....or is it???

Just wondering sine Season is coming soon.... I hope.

Post the link that gave you this info about the Snook.

The law states that if you are required to have a saltwater license you are required to have a snook stamp to keep one . Unless something has changed.

And on a pier that has a blanket license, customers are not required to have a license. There is no sure correct answer until we are given one by those in charge.
Time to call Tallahassee and find out.

I tried to find the answer using the URLs below but was unable to. Not convinced the answer isn't here somewhere.

I made one more attempt to answer your question by going to the URL shown. Section 6 shows a pier license but does not address your question. The answer to your question may be on here but I did not see it. Am going to go to the river now and scout out a fishing spot.

It's a curse......
Made one more attempt to answer this question at this URL and still did not see the answer. Guess Zebco is right about asking Talahasee.....
Now am going to the river.

ok i found the ruling and i have to say i was wrong when i agreed to the above , but here it is ,,,,,

You do not need a saltwater fishing license or a snook or spiny lobster *permit if...

You have been accepted as a client for developmental services by the Department of Children and Family Services. The department must furnish proof to such clients.

You fish from a for-hire vessel (guide, charter, party boat) that has a valid vessel license.

You fish from a vessel, the operator of which has a valid vessel license issued in the name of the operator of the vessel.

You fish for recreational purposes from a pier with a valid pier saltwater fishing license.

You have a valid saltwater products license.

You fish for mullet in fresh water and you have a valid Florida freshwater fishing license.

You are a resident who is saltwater fishing from land or a structure fixed to land who has been determined eligible for the food stamp, temporary cash assistance, or Medicaid Program by the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). Proof of identification and a benefit issuance or program identification card issued by DCFS or the Agency for Health Care Administration must be on your person when fishing.

NOTE: just buy a license and support the fishery ,would be the better thing to do any ways i get mine every year , license - snook stamp - lobster and im covered no matter what ..........

BETTER SAFE THE SORRY AND Supports the fishery! better safe then sorry !

Jettyfart is still a googan.

Thanks Diggin for finding the answer to this question.
Attaching the URL for Jettypark so he can enlighten the FWC people he talks about.

This same URL also says that the exemption from needing a Snook and Spiny Lobster permit does not include Tarpon....you would still need a tarpon tag when fishing from a pier.

You just look more the G a Y googanese jettyfart every single time you pretend to know something. People laugh at you when they talk about you. You should stop pretending you mean anything and just go hunt some freshwater carp. You are like the houndfish that gets slapped against the deck.

This thread has been answered.

For the rest of you all, happy hunting on the Snookies.

Look if you fish for snook you should support Florida and get a license and Snook stamp, its the right thing to do.

as for the law and a pier the pier would from my understanding be required to have a Snook Stamp on there license as does Anglins Pier.

I got a Snook stamp this year just because. They even told me at BP when I renewed it the season was closed and I didn't need one. I look at it as cheap insurance.

Just Bought My Saltwater Licenses And Snook Permit Online At FWC For $30, They Give You A Temporary Number To Use Until Your Physical Licenses Show Up In The Mail

old topic but in Naples the pier covers your fishing license and snook permit.. it says so on the entrance so I bet the answer is it it depends on the pier.

regardless if all the pissing contest post.......

fishingfool correctly answered the question in the 5th post "The law states that if you are required to have a saltwater license you are required to have a snook stamp to keep one . "


Digging added the FWC links for further clarification.........

as long as the pier has a valid lic then the paying customer does not need a lic or snook stamp. I am not even sure that the pier has to have a snook stamp but it is a nice touch if they do........

BTW at age 65 since you are no longer required to have a lic then you are also not required to have the snook stamp.... I guess there are some advantages to getting old.... LOL

I have been wondering that question for a long time Rick. Thanks to everybody that got down to the bottom of it.
Rob, sleep is good for you brother!

Yeah Russ I even got robbed of that. I don't sleep, I pass out after being up usually for days. Good Scotch help's (Thanks again Rob)
