Next question, does local law enforcement have the authority to check up on fishing licenses or would they leave that under the purview of FWC Officers?
For a non Florida resident the cost of a 1 year adult fresh water fishing license is $54 . It helps the Florida wildlife and fish conservation to purchase. Hope you catch and release . There is a hefty fine if your caught fishing without a license if your a non resident.
