CHECK OUT THESE BENEFITS
  1. During March and April only, if you buy a 5-year or lifetime resident freshwater fishing license, you will receive all of the samples and magazines shown in the poster above.  The license cost is $61.50.  (On-line a $1.95 convenience fee is added, or via toll-free phone at 1-888-FISH FLOrida a $3.95 convenience fee is added).  The samples, magazines and premiums pictured above are worth more than $60--essentially making your next five years of freshwater fishing free.
  2. You will also receive special offers or rebate coupons from our other sponsors. If you take advantage of these offers, you can save hundreds of dollars.
  3. Plus you get a credit-card style license. These licenses are much more popular than the light paper licenses provided to annual license holders.
  4. Moreover, you will save a minimum of $6 in administrative fees, compared to buying five annual licenses from a subagent (an annual fishing license costs $13.50 x 5 years equals $67.50 - $61.50 = $6.00 savings), and more if you purchase through a subagent that charges a convenience fee (for example if you buy via the toll-free system each year you'd save $6 plus $15.80).
  5. In addition, Five-Year License holders are not affected by any license-fee price increases that occur while their license is valid.
  6. By purchasing a five-year license you also help the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission stabilize and increase it's funding for fish and wildlife conservation.  Your purchase price is deposited into an interest bearing account and only the value of a one year license and its interest is removed each year.  Moreover, it enables us to drawdown approximately $4 extra each year from the Federal Aid in Sportfish Restoration program, which means that Florida gets back more of the money that you spend on Federal excise taxes on fishing tackle and motor boat fuel taxes, rather than letting the money go to other states.
