Fishing Fish
Do I need a fishing license to fish off of my dads dock?
I am 16 years old and I'm going to visit at my fathers house every other weekend. He lives off of a lake and he has a dock out. My mom thinks I have to get a fishing license in order to fish off of the dock. I thought fishing licenses were only used if you were going off into a boat. Do I need a license?
Here's the conundrum. Is that body of water connect to a "Public" waterway via a pump, tidal gate, flood gates/doors, spillways, or anything that controls water flow? If so, then you need to possess a Fishing License in most states at the age of 16. However, should the body of water be "landlocked" like in a Gated Community, golf course, quarry etc., then no. Docks are usually a land extension of the property and in most states, requires a Permit to extend out over the water. This is very common in the South, South-East, Mid-West and some Northern states. I know because I have to pay an Annual Permit Fee for my dock on a lake in NC. I also must be in possession of a Resident Sport License for fishing. You dad's property STOPS at the High Water Mean Line regardless of location in the USA.
If your dad's home is in a Gated Community, then you are subject to the CCR's of the community that controls the body of water. Some community's allow fishing, and some don't. If they don't allow fishing, it's usually because the body of water is a standby water supply used for Fire Suppression and has certain chemicals in the water and can be toxic if ingested by a person.
You should have a Fishing License anyway since you're 16 y/o.
