Someone was telling me about this today. Is this true and is this only for the Freshwater license?

    65 is considered a senior, not 64 and it's no longer needed not a reduction in price. A link below to FWC

    However I see their is something called a resident 64 license for freshwater and hunting, maybe this is what your talking about, might want to call FWC for more info on that.

    Did the convo go something like this?

    "We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. And when you turn sixty-four you can save a bee on your fishing license... Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. I didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones... "

    That appears to be it, but I thought he was talking saltwater also. Oh well, going to have to wait till its free, although I have been thinking of some freshwater fishing at times. Don't really do all that other stuff but he does.

    So you're judge and jury as to what is moronic? I'm thinking that somebody somewhere would have enjoyed my insightful, intelligible, and humorous post. At least you didn't delete my account. :wink
