Oh boy... My annual license is a bit over $200 - but it allows me to fish up to four anglers at a time that don’t have licenses at all (thank you Florida...).  Very convenient for visitors- and that license travels with me so I can step on anyone’s boat and they’re covered under my license... Although my license covers up to four anglers, on my own skiff I’m rarely fishing more than two...

Along with that fishing license I also must have a permit to guide in Everglades National Park.  That’s the expensive one at $550 per year at present (but it won’t stay that way...).

Indiana is $17.00, trout stamp is $11.00.  Got mine at Wally World yesterday just so I wouldn't have to bother with it later, renewal date is fast arriving.

When I turned 65 got a lifetime in Iowa for $45.00.  Then paid $5 more to get a credit card liscense instead of paper.  If I went trout fishing I would have to pay about $10 more per year.

Was $28 for a Michigan all species for the longest time. Was $14 for basic then $14 for the added trout/salmon stamp. Then they changed it to I believe just a flat $24 or $26 a couple years ago and made it where everyone had to buy the "all species" for that price.

For us older guys, Michigan , is $11.00

I brought my PA Senior Lifetime license when I turned 65.  It cost me $60 or $65 then and included the trout stamp.  Like PD I do fish NJ saltwater, as he said still free, though you do have to register and print out a small card that says it's OK for you to fish salt water.   Not too many out of state licenses, usually Vermont where I get a season license and this year, assuming the borders reopen, an Ontario non-resident license(8 day) and their Outdoor Card.

Yeah I couldn't remember the exact cost for seniors. If I'm not mistaken, doesn't that also include some hunting licenses as well as a sportsman type package, or am I thinking of something else?

Rich, I agree with you, it stinks.  From $18 to $118 for a crummy boat trailer and my 2 cars went up another $100 a year.

Indiana Non-Resident.......$35 for annual

I just don't know how that could be since our COLA on our pensions and SS only went 1%. My boat licenses went up 10% again. Only good thing about getting old is I bought my senior license for $15 10 years ago and it's good in OK and TX.

Doesn't cost me a dime. Free in Florida and I paddle my own kayak, or walk the beach.  While my buddy was getting his out of state tag last year, I got my lifetime fresh, salt hunt and fish licence from the county office.
