I called MWR right after I posted yesterday and spoke to a lady that acknowledged that there needed to be an update to conform to the requirement for the shore and pier license. As to the question of how the state can control fishing on federal land - they do not. They are controlling fishing in STATE waters and people doing so from federal land are as subject to all rules and regulations as those who are fishing from state or private land in state waters.

So what about fishing Lake Fredrick or that coastal pond to the east of it? Both surrounded by Federal property, thus Federal waters, thus no license required ?

The "coastal pond" that you refer to is a tidal pond, and as such, is state waters. I know, sometimes there is no connection to the bay, but then, the next day there is.

As far as Frederick is concerned, it is not listed as a permissable fishing area inNASPNCLA INST 5500.3B. Therefore, your question is moot. I have been clearly instructed by the Base Police (LT COOK) that the only places where fishing is allowed on the base are those areas which are listed in the instruction.

To me this whole question is moot. Unless you plan on ONLY FISHING IN ONE SPOT ( the pier). $17 for state residents for a license and Im pretty sure the military gets the same rate as you are typically given breaks in the state you are stationed. ( 17 years former military myself )

Just buy a license and don't worry because your ass is covered anywhere in the state. I'm sure you spend more than that on your rod, reel, bait, lures, line, etc, etc.

If you pay to fish like at the Lexington pier on Nas that has purchased a license,your covered. If you dont Pay to fish, Your not covered. You will need a license unless you are active military. Even on Nas! Anywhere in the state of Fla! Fresh or salt water. Alabama, Whole diffrent story. Even when you pay to fish you still need a license.:banghead
