Fishing
Fishing
From
deep-sea fishing to light-tackle angling, the opportunities are endless
for fishermen amateur to avid. Proficient captains and fishing guides
conduct half-and full-day charters. If you're an experienced boater, you
may prefer to rent your own craft from one of the islands'
marinas.
The Sanibel-Captiva Causeway,
as well as the pier on the bayside of the lighthouse (open 24 hours a day)
are both popular spots for surf casting. The Blind Pass Bridge is often
lined with determined anglers.
Tour boats and charter guides
head for the upper islands for shelling, fishing, sunning and lunch, and
they are recommended for first-timers without boating
experience. |
|
More experienced sailors can
rent a powerboat and set out on their own, equipped with a chart and a sense of
adventure.
Local guides are particularly
helpful when it comes to fishing. They're out on the water daily, and they know
the habits and feeding patterns of area fish and wildlife. Some specialize in
fly fishing; others are knowledgeable about shelling, birding and local
history.
Licenses
Fishing:
Most residents and visitors must purchase licenses for fishing in salt or fresh
water. You can purchase a license at The Bait Box on Periwinkle Way; at Bailey'
Center at the corner of Tarpon Bay Road and Periwinkle Way; at Tarpon Bay
Recreation; at Jensen's Marina; and at all the marinas. Rules and regulations on
size and bag limits plus open and closed seasons change. Most bait stores
distribute free lists published by the Florida Marine Fisheries Commission. You
do not need a license if you are: under 16; over age 65 and a Florida resident;
a Florida resident fishing in salt water from a dock, bridge, jetty, pier or
other structure connected to land; or fishing from a boat covered by a Vessel
Saltwater Fishing License. The Tax Collector's office and bait shops list
criteria for residency.

Snorkeling
and SCUBA
 Wrecks and man-made reefs help
restock our waters with fish for the benefit of divers and fisherman alike. More
than a dozen artificial reefs lie within a 15 mile radius of Sanibel and
Captiva.
One of the largest is the Edison
Reef, created from the rubble of a former mainland bridge. It was built less
than 15 nautical miles from the Sanibel Lighthouse in 42 feet of
water.
Closer to home, the Belton Johnson
Reef, about 5 nautical miles off Bowman's Beach, was named for a well-known
local fishing guide. A yellow and white marker shows the location of the reef,
constructed of concrete culverts.
Peagus/ Charlie's Reef is the newest
reef installed July 1999, located 28 miles due west of Red Fish Pass. A large
tug boat was added to several railroad hoppers that already have quite an
assortment of residences, including barracuda, cobia, nurse shark, grouper,
amber jack and a moray eel.
There are many local charter
captains who can provide a snorkeling trip, for a scuba trip, Sea Horse Scuba a
full service PADI 5 Star training facility (239) 454-3111. To rent snorkeling
equipment call Jim's Rentals at Yolo Watersports (239) 472-9656. The Bait Box sells masks,
goggles, and snorkeling equipment, 941-472-1618.
