If your open carrying while fishing do you have to show your ID is asked by the police and I'm not talking about the Florida Fish & Game police.

In the three times I've been "stopped" for open carrying on the motorcycle while heading back from my daily fishing run, I've never been asked for a fishing license. One guy DID ask me if I had one, as a kind of back door funny question, but other than normal ID, there's been no questions about a license.If your open carrying while fishing do you have to show your ID is asked by the police and I'm not talking about the Florida Fish & Game police.
just like you cwfl, your fishing license is not valid without your state issued photo id.
If you don't have your id and your fishing license, you are not lawfully fishing. As such, your oc is illegal.
Fishing is an act that the state has granted itself extra-4th-amendment powers over. You have no 4th amendment rights while fishing. Most cops don't realize this though. Those who have been stung by the 4th amendment before, will treat this as a consensual encounter. They can demand your id and fishing license, and you better produce it. The "oc while fishing" exception exists only for lawful fishing. All of the above applies for you to be fishing lawfully.
However, you don't have to show them any cwfl or "gun" permit.... Welcome to floriduh.
what about camping and hiking, do you need to show your camping and hiking license,too!! No??? Aw shucks!!!
