South Carolina Fishing License

Welcome to Captain Leroy’s Striper Charters, where we provide you with an unforgettable fishing experience on the beautiful waters of South Carolina. As you prepare for your exciting adventure, it's essential to understand how to obtain your fishing license and familiarize yourself with the guidelines for fishing in South Carolina.

How to Obtain Your South Carolina Fishing License

In South Carolina, a fishing license is required for anyone aged 16 and older who wishes to fish in freshwater or saltwater. To ensure you’re properly licensed, follow these simple steps:

1. Determine Your License Type: South Carolina offers several types of fishing licenses, including resident and non-resident licenses, as well as options for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. If you plan to fish for striped bass, you will need a freshwater license.
2. Visit the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Website: You can obtain your fishing license online through the SCDNR website. The website provides an easy-to-navigate interface where you can select the type of license you need.
3. Choose Your License Duration: Licenses are available in various durations, including annual, 14-day, and 3-day options. Choose the duration that best fits your fishing plans.
4. Purchase Your License: Once you have selected the appropriate license type and duration, you can complete your purchase online. Payment can be made using a credit or debit card, and you'll receive a confirmation email that serves as your temporary license until your physical license arrives.
5. Check for Special Regulations: Some areas may have specific regulations regarding fishing, such as catch limits and size restrictions. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these regulations to ensure a successful and compliant fishing trip.
