No state fishing license required for weekend

Published 11:57 am Friday, June 1, 2012

The state will celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week with free fishing weekend Saturday and Sunday. Any person may sport fish without a license and July 4 is still designated as free fishing day on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Also, licenses and permits are not required to fish any state fishing lakes or state park lakes on this weekend.

The Mississippi Department Of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks will host five youth fishing rodeos across the state. For a complete list of all MDWFP Fishing Rodeos, visit http://www.mdwfp.com/calendar.aspx.
