Fishing


Fishing is very popular in Florida, but a public license is required. These are available at most fishing shops, at Walmart or online at https://gooutdoorsflorida.com/. One differentiates between daily, weekly or annual licenses and between fresh and salt water license or a combination. The license fees amount to from US $ 17 to 47 for example as a daily or annual license. For more information, visit https://myfwc.com/license/recreational/do-in-need-one. Even people who do not actively fish, but only help with getting lines or fishes in and out, or support with baiting work need a license. If you participate in a fishing charter you do not need a single license.
There is really a huge supply of commercial providers in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. We have listed you a few. Most vendors offer their boats as charter boats, i.e. you rent these boats including all fishing services for e.g. 4,6 or 10 hours. There are tours for bay and offshore fishing available.
