CLEARWATER â Thereâs great news for seniors who have enjoyed a lifetime of fishing and want to keep on angling now that they have time to fish: You donât have to be rich and, regardless of the kind of fishing you do, you donât have to pay for a Florida fishing license.
Whether you have the folding money to charter an exclusive half-day, offshore fishing trip or prefer a quiet day of fishing from a pier or shoreline, there are plenty of great places to fish in Pinellas County. With the Gulf of Mexico on one side, Tampa Bay on the other, Pinellas ranks among the most active fishing areas in the country. Senior citizens retire here just for the privilege of catching snook from Indian Rocks Beach, for instance.
