I just moved to Florida from PA and am looking to possibly get a truthful answer here since websites are sometimes unreliable as I learned from the FLA DMV website, drove 15 miles to the local DMV to find out that u now need ur Social Security Card to register ur vehicles but on the website stats that is a secondary form of ID but it changed on the 1st of october but doesnt clearly state that is needed to register so yeah but anyway I am looking to go fishing at various places in Florida near me, some places are Hudson Beach, Clearwater Beach, Clearwater Beach Pier, Skyway bridge area etc.... Do you need a fishing license or is the website I saw correct, it states that if you are fishing from land or a obect such as a pier or bridge attached to land you do not need a license to fish ? I just don't want to go out fishing and then get stopped and fined for not having it when it clearly states it on the FWC website that you do not need one but things arent always what you read like I said about the DMV. I appreicate any input the Floridians can give because we have been here a week now and I am itching to go fishing, itching to go Jet Ski'ing to but I gotta wait till it's registered as there is a LIEN on it for now. Thanks Again.

Hey Michael,

 

I found this info on the web so it may or may not be current. Since I have been out of my home state for almost as long as I lived in it, I am not sure of the current rules/laws regarding fishing. My philosophy is, "When in doubt, buy one." They are not that expensive and are a heck of a lot cheaper than the fine you will pay if they catch you without one. :jester:

 

Here is what I found...

 

The following individuals do not need to purchase a license:

 

Children under 16

Florida residents aged 65 or older

Florida residents who are in the military, stationed outside Florida, and home on leave for 30 days or less

Those fishing on a man-made pond located on private property

Those fishing with cane poles in their county of residence

Florida residents fishing in saltwater from land or a structure attached to land

Florida residents fishing in saltwater from a boat with a vessel fishing license

 

Good luck. Oh, if you want to fish for monster largemouth bass, try around central Florida (Ocala area). That is where I grew up, along the St. Johns River, and that are has been known to harbor HUGE BLACK BASS! I have a 16lb Bass hanging on the wall to prove it.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
