A Fishing Promise That Almost Fell Through

It Started with a Promise to My Son

It all started on a family holiday in Spain. My son wanted to go fishing, so I bought some fishing gear, it seemed like a simple plan. But everywhere I asked, the answer was the same: as a tourist, you can't just fish here. At the office they wanted a NIE (the Spanish identification number for residents), which I didn't have, and everything was only in Spanish. I spent days running back and forth, because I couldn't bring myself to tell my son we wouldn't go after I'd promised him.

In the end, I found a way. It turns out there is a legal way for a tourist to get a fishing license, most people just don't know about it. It wasn't easy, but we got the license, and that day on the water was worth all the effort. The experience stuck in my mind: if it was that hard for me, how difficult must it be for others? So I created FishingLicenseSpain.com so that anyone could get a license online in a few minutes, without the offices and paperwork. It became a success and we've helped thousands of anglers from all over the world.

I wanted getting a fishing license to be simple for people in more countries, not just Spain. That's why, after that success, I also founded FishingLicenseCroatia.com, the same easy process, now for Croatia. We handle the entire application with the Croatian authorities for you: no office visits, no forms in Croatian. Just a simple order and your official fishing license arrives in your email.
