<br />
I’m trying to understand fishing license rules before my first trip. Do I always need a license or are there situations where it’s not required, like on private property? <br />
<br />
Are there differences between freshwater and saltwater regulations that I should know? I’ve also seen options for single day, seasonal, and annual licenses. <br />

 Maybe this should go in the classifieds but anyway I have a 2007 G3 2072 with a 90hp Yamaha 2 stroke motor. This boat has treated me very well, never had any problems. Bought it 3 years ago with less than 100 hrs and probably doubled that since I&#039;ve had it. Comes with light rail and 10 50watt LEDs, 101 trolling motor, generator, and life jackets. Had some scratches and dings but is ready to fish. Light rail comes off if you prefer not to bowfish. Asking $11,000....<br />
