Yes you have to have fishing lisence But at DSS you can get them free

Thank you. I saw lots of the same question, only they all answered no and the wbsite itself had a age grouping. My age group 40-70 said it only cost a dollar to fish as long as you used live bait. So now om really confused

Yes, you need to have a North Carolina fishing license.
