Here in Florida (where we are now) you don't have to have a fishing
license if you are over 65 and a Florida resident.

Well I said here in FLORIDA you don't have to have a fishing license
if you are a RESIDENT.

This applies only to residents, so visitors from the Bahamas are still
required to get a license. Looks like $31 a year from their web site. So FLA
charges for licenses much like Bahamas do.

This was in response to Steve who asked if you could get a discount on
the Bahamas entry permit fee if you didn't get the fishing license,
and said he didn't fish anymore because he wasn't very good at it.
He's in California - or anyway on the left coast.

I was not saying that a visitor wouldn't have to have the fishing
license in the Bahamas, but it is part of the entry permit fee and not
separated out.

I don't know why anyone from the Bahamas would come to Florida to
fish, but if they aren't on a head boat or charter boat they would
have to get a license like anyone else.
