fishing license
Does someone need a fishing license to catch bait on the beach? Sandfleas (rake)or ghost shrimp (slurping) no rod involved

I currently have the pier only license (that is all I usually fish), once in awhile when staying a month in the fall I would get the full saltwater when might be out flounder gigging, but that hasn't happened for a couple years now
Thanks Carl!!Bill..............

As stated only in the fall on our month trips, along the beach infront of the condo.....bays would be better you could sometimes always find a not windy shoreline depending on wind direction...heavy.ripples or waves is your enemy seeing

From the Man:
Recreationally, these are legal, No license required. Our saltwater fishing license cover the equipment used and the possession of fish, these two methods and species are not mentioned.
We have no regulations that cover rakes or slurp-guns, so they are legal to use. We also do not regulate sand fleas or ghost shrimp, per se.
We do regulate shrimp, HOWEVER, we do make allowances for someone to catch a few for personal bait use.
On another note, there would need to be some commercial license involved if they wanted to sell the bait.Carl

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
