Hi guys! 2012 fishing license already came out! Make sure you get it for next year. The thing that surprises me the most is each year you buy the license, the price increases. How come our incomes don't go up and that does? What the?!?!?!

They do that here in Florida too, I found it cheaper to just buy a 5 year license..

Alan,

I am planning to buy the annual license. Do I need to include "Ocean Enhancement Validation"? Also do I need "Second Rod Validation"?

Hi Tony! It's good to buy a annual license because you never know how many times you are going fishing. Absolutely, you must include the ocean enhancement validation. It's the most important because we fish ocean a lot. On the second rod validation, it depends on you, if you fish fresh water a lot then you need it. An expert like me one fishing rod is enough for me.
