Fishing

Freshwater fishing in Baker County is allowed year round under the Florida Wildlife Code. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is the final authority on state fishing laws and is dedicated to making Florida the "fishing capital of the world" for residents and visitors. To help fund the agency's conservation efforts, the state legislature passed laws requiring non-exempt anglers to have a valid fishing. To ensure that money from the sale of fishing licenses cannot be diverted, state law dictates that all monies collected must go directly to the wildlife conservation commission.
