Let's Go Fishing

[flaggship1]

But let's get a license first.

And, let's not let this slide off the road, but this is pretty common (at least where I've been), and it seems like it cost more to have it written than they would collect....

AZ Game and Fish.
Non-resident annual $55.00
But how about disabled vets?

https://www.azgfd.com/license/specia...e/disabledvets

"Disabled Veteran*-*A person must show certification from the Veteran's Administration confirming permanent service connected disabilities rated as 100 percent disabling, plus one or more consecutive years as a bona fide Arizona resident immediately preceding application for license."

100%, Permanant, Service Connected disability and A Resident.

With those qualifications the license should come with a nice Shimano reel.
--------
And the other Az Discount is pretty good too. The Pioneer. 70 or over and 25 year resident.

I hear of towns in AZ growing by 35,000 people in the winter. They should hand out fishing licenses at the border and point us to the nearest tackle shop. Ka Ching Lol.

All kidding aside, $55.00 isn't bad. But as we travel around it could add up with this tag and that. Haven't done much fishing at all really in the first year full time, but always checking out the landscape and situation.

I usually hunt for guides. I figure if someone is making money going fishing, there might actually be some catching going on.

Got a fish story or info. Drop anchor here, no wake, no trolling.

I got a non-resident in Kentucky last summer and tried some Muskie fishing. No luck. We travel there every summer to see my wifes family. This past year we stayed a week at Cave Run Lake.
I wont go to a campground with out a place to fish. The one we frequent here in Nebraska is on a river. We cat fish all weekend.

This a friend of mine with my 2 yr old and our lunch.

Looks like a pretty good lunch.

That seems reasonable enough. Lots of preservation to manage and lots of sportsman.

As a resident of TX, my medically retired AF ID was sufficient for a Combo annual license for a year. Don't recall what nonresident was when I looked last winter.

Just got my new fishing pole holder mounted.

I am both 70 years old and 100% DAV, 2 Purple Hearts. A MA resident, but in FL for 3 or so months. Why do I pay $47 for a salt water lic and then if I want a fresh water, pay another $47..There should be a National license for 100% DAV resident or not..good in ALL states! Fishing is therapy for me, quite and relaxing..

I have long thought the medically retired military ID should be sufficient license for this. I have 60% on my VA card and I'm 70% AF. So my retirement disability is USAF. They accepted that in TX as evidence for the Free combo in state license. Can't see why it couldn't be applied to out of state in the same manner.

As for FL. It seems to me the salt water would be more expensive for the state to operate but they do have some darn big bass to feed there!

I just learned here in AZ (Yuma) there is also a "pond" license. I believe that's $22 nonresident. Need it for ponds - and the other for larger waters. Always something.

Ok just got back from Georgia it was $45 and will do later because will be doing a lot of Georgia camping since live in North Florida.

My question is for the brain thrust here is what about using my boat with fl regstration, assume should be OK state to state? ????

[jenandjon]

Boat license is just like your car. You can go state to state as you please.

[laj]

this is not entirely true. the license might be, but some states have additional permits that you need to buy before your good to go with your boat.
