Im just wondering what kind of liscenses you need to become a freshwater guide on florida lakes.  Does the state require a Coast Guard Captains Liscense for freshwater guiding?

Thanks.

May I suggest you PM George Welcome and ask him?

George is a Florida guide and he may be able to help you.

He is also a super person who is extremely helpful on this site.

A six-pak, (OUPV) license is needed to guide on any federal navigable water. To define federal navigable: any waters that are interstate; any waters used for commerce; any waters that comprise a transportation route; any waters with inland access from salt water (salt to brackish); all salt water and its access.

Any inland lakes with no access to federal navigable waters do not require a six-pak, (OUPV)
