Do I need a Florida salt water fishing license to fish at NAS since it is Gov't property?

MWR conflicts with the following excerpt from NASPNCLAINST 5500.3H - Fishing and swimming regulations for NAS:

"Participating personnel must comply with all applicable state and federal fishing rules and regulations."

I wonder if MWR's statement was made before the advent of the shore/pier fishing license requirement?

NASP has a blanket fishing license. I spoke to someone at the Tax Collectors office about this. They buy the same type of license as charters so an individual does not need their own to fish on base. You are covered.

Just received a message from Baitmaster who say FWC asks for his license when he fishes there...now I am confused. Who are FWC and what jurisdiction do they have on Gov't property??

Thats funny because I had a couple of mps them self ask me if I had a fishing license. At the time I didn't so they told me I had to leave. It was over there where the old Mcdonalds use to be. I wasnt sure if they were allowed to do that. But just to avoid conflict I left.

Next time you should argue them down, there not gonna do anything to you. Anyways back to the question, you must have a fishing liscence to fish anywhere on NAS except for the pier because the Navy Birthday Ball bought a one year liscence for it that expires some time next year, September I. The interesting thing about this is that none of the students have fishing liscences yet they still fish on base. Security hardly ever knows what their talking about when it comes to this crap, your most direct and accurate source is just gonna be the base CO or FWC. MWR and security are inaccurate.

According to the website in Telum Pisces response, as of Aug 1, 2009 we do need a license and I assume we don't only if we fish the pier, which is closed. I was told it will open in Jan after the ship that is docked there leaves. I doubt if the guys in uniform are ever hassled as it's unlikely any of them even know about the rule. And, Frankly, since I personally do not agree with the new "law", I think they should leave our men in uniform alone. In addition, how can a Florida statute be legal on Gov't property? We do not have to pay Florida taxes on base, so why should we have to pay Florida to fish there?

Looks like someone changed the wording since I posted that. It was probably brought to someones attention due to this post.
