“License-free fishing days offer a special opportunity to enjoy Florida’s beautiful outdoors,” the governor said in a Friday news release. “I encourage all Floridians and visitors to take advantage!”

It’s worth noting that all bag limits, closed areas and size restrictions still apply on Saturday, so keep that in mind before heading out the door.
