No license is required to saltwater fish during Memorial Day, thanks to fears the Gulf oil spill will keep casual Florida anglers away. Gov. Charlie Crist announced Friday he would waive rules requiring a fishing license starting Saturday and ending Monday. Depending on the type, a Florida fishing license can cost between $17 and $79.
Next weekend, from June 5 to 6, also will be license-free. Red snapper season starts June 1.
``Florida is the fishing capital of the world,'' Crist said in a statement. ''Our beaches are clear, the fish are biting, and we invite our friends to enjoy some Florida hospitality.''
