I do know that we
do not need a license to fish from a dock in salt water.

That's only true if you're a resident of Florida...or if the pier that
you're fishing from has a blanket license that covers everybody fishing
from it. Non-residents need a license anytime they're fishing.

Are you a Florida resident?

At Point Lookout, MD you need a license to fish off of the Potomac River
side of the pier but, on the Chesapeake Bay side of the pier you don't need
a fishing license. But, if your hook drifts to the river side you are going
to need a fishing license.



Unless I'm reading this wrong, you need a license to fish in the Bay, if over 16
years old:
