| Coastal Recreational Fishing License North Carolina's Coastal Recreational Fishing License (CRFL), administered by the Division of Marine Fisheries (DMF), is effective Jan. 1, 2007. This license can be purchased on a 10-day, annual or lifetime basis, or combined with a variety of licenses issued by the Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC). This license allows recreational fishermen to harvest finfish for personal consumption; finfish harvested under this license cannot be sold. Fishermen using this license are held to the state's recreational size and possession limits. The license is required to recreationally harvest finfish in the state's Coastal Fishing Waters, which include sounds, coastal rivers and their tributaries, out to three miles in the ocean. Recreational anglers who catch fish in the ocean, including waters beyond three miles will be required to have this license to land fish. Fishing in Joint Waters (areas managed by both the Marine Fisheries and the Wildlife Resources commissions) will require either the CRFL or a WRC inland fishing license. The new license will be available from any Division of Marine Fisheries office, WRC license agents (which include most Wal-Mart and Bait and Tackle stores), online at WRC's website www.ncwildlife.org or by calling toll-free 888-248-6834. To view license options or for more license information, please visit www.ncfisheries.net or call the Division of Marine Fisheries at 252-726-7021 or 800-682-2632. Following is a list of Dare County businesses where you may purchase the 2007 North Carolina Coastal Recreational Fishing License.
