Florida does not honor GA senior citizen license. Look up the rules. It clearly states this in the FL regs.

I do for one and I think you would be surprised. Apples for apples Nathan. BTW, the least costly wildlife management to the State is the saltwater fishery. Other than law enforcement, Florida spends very few Florida dollars on the saltwater fishery.

Like wjmax64 said.
Maybe we could put a toll booth at the Ga. Fla. line and if the car has a Fla. tag charge them twenty bucks and kick them in the azzzzzzzzzzzzz to boot. Why not compare apples to apples I hunt in neither state what does that have to do with me.
I buy ice & tackle at Wilson's in Perry, breakfast at Hardee's pay launch fees and have dinner in Florida. I pay my dues and then some. I help your economy, abide by your states laws ( while watching guys from Florida throw to many to big in the floor of the boat and make two or three trips with limits in one day) which are stingy compared to the other states you mentioned and you feel like I need to be punished for wanting to come there.
If I understand correctly the reason how many fish I can keep has to be reduced three times a year is because of how many you killed in gill nets, and now dump out as by-catch in your Shrimp trawls. Also so your commercial fishermen's quotas can be maintained. Even though I the recreational angler have a far greater positive impact on your economy.
They say money talks and B.S. walks take a hike.
If your lucky later I'll tell you how I really feel.
You really should wait and speak on a subject that you know something about,your bag and slot limit has nothing to do with gill nets or a almost nonexistent inshore shrimping industry and has everything to do with too many people fishing. I was on the Aucilla in 95 when Fla. sportsman did their big article on JR and the river,the boat traffic went from 50 a day to over 200 a day,great conservation magazine.
In 1994 the last year there were gill nets in Fla there was just over 12,000 lbs of trout landed in Wakulla Co. commercially and around 1/3 of those were by hook and line mostly by me.Now we have long weekends that there are that many trout landed at 5 per person.
I will have to give you a
though because you are one of the very few from Ga who don't show up ready to fish with all their stuff already bought in Ga although some will stop in JR's and buy a mirrorlure so they can get info on where the fish are.
