Tackleholic Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 11 hours ago, Big Hands said: If you buy the lifetime fishing license here, you can buy what they actually call a 'privilege package' that includes the second rod validation. This means that you can fish with a second rod at the same time as your original. For example, if you were anchored in one spot fishing for catfish, you could have two of your rods with the line out instead of one. Thankyou, first I've heard of that. Where I am, extra rods are allowed on the lake, but more than one on the river may get you free room and board in an Arkansas 1 star lockup hotel. 1 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 16, 2024 Global Moderator Posted January 16, 2024 Haven't bought my 2024 license yet. Ours are good for 12 months so I'll wait until the night before my next trip to buy one. Quote

Here in California the basic license is $61.82 and is good for one year from date of purchase I paid $501.50 for my fishing license this year in FL. Thankfully, it's good for the next 200 years. 1 Quote

Super User OkobojiEagle Posted January 25, 2024 Super User Posted January 25, 2024 Yep, I don't have to buy one anymore, I do have to remember where I put it last fall... Quote
MGF Posted January 29, 2024 Posted January 29, 2024 Bought a sr. life time license last year for something like $23. Our sr. license is 64 years old and up. An annual sr. license is $3. Quote
