SURPRISE DAD WITH A FIVE-YEAR FISHING LICENSE June 2, 2004 Looking for a Father’s Day gift that will last him 1,826 days? Look no further; for a limited time, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has a great deal on five-year resident freshwater fishing licenses. “This a perfect gift for the dad who fishes, or it can be the motivation to get him started fishing,” said Bob Wattendorf, Division of Freshwater Fisheries marketing coordinator. “Fishing is the perfect sport. We’re living in the ‘Fishing Capital of the World’ where more people come to fish than anywhere else in the nation.” “We get nearly a third more visiting anglers than California -- the next highest state. It’s all because of great resources and responsible management. In Florida, an opportunity for a fun fishing outing with family or friends is always just a cast away,” Wattendorf said. Resident anglers who buy a five-year or lifetime freshwater fishing license will receive free samples, gifts, magazines and coupons from fishing-related companies. The samples, magazines and premiums included in the package are worth about $30, including Culprit worms, Tru-Turn hooks, Ultra-Steel sinkers, a fishing towel, coozies and much more. In addition, there are hundreds of dollars of special offers and bonus coupons. The package is automatically mailed directly to the address on the license when you buy a five-year freshwater fishing license and arrives in 10-14 days. What a great gift for dad. Best of all when the package arrives, take him fishing and use the time to get reacquainted, have fun and escape the stress of everyday life. Five-year licenses cost $61.50 (plus an administrative fee) and are available on the agency’s Web site at MyFWC.com/license and via the toll-free phone number, 1-888-347-4356. In addition, they may be purchased at any license agent (retail stores and bait-and-tackle shops) or at local county tax collectors’ offices. “You can order a five-year license and have the effective date for the license set up for 60 days after the purchase,” Wattendorf said. “The offer is first-come, first-served while supplies last. Vendors will be notified and the agency’s Web site (MyFWC.com) updated before we run out of supplies.” mat/ois
