TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The state of Florida is offering a license-free saltwater fishing day on Saturday. Gov. Ron DeSantis announced.

“License-free fishing days offer a special opportunity to enjoy Florida’s beautiful outdoors,” DeSantis said in a news release sent Friday. “I encourage all Floridians and visitors to take advantage!”

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Executive Director Eric Sutton said the license-free fishing days offer a great opportunity to introduce someone to fishing.
