July 4th - Free Fishing Day in Mississippi

This year I helped with fishing at the annual Cub Scout Day Camp and found out that July 4th is "Free Fishing Day" in Mississippi. This is from the Mississippi Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks website.

When can I fish without a license?
July 4th each year is the one day each year anyone can fish without a statewide fishing license.

Of course the State of Mississippi fishing regulations also say the following. So please, no explosives.

Illegal Methods
It is unlawful to take any fish species by muddying and by the use of lime, poison, explosives, electrical devices, wire baskets, fish traps or dip net.
