Fishing in Fort Myers
Fort Myers sits on the Caloosahatchee River where it widens into San Carlos Bay, giving anglers a mix of river, backwater, and open-bay fishing within a short drive of downtown. Tarpon, snook, and redfish are the headline species, with the barrier islands nearby adding classic Southwest Florida flats fishing.
The river mouth and San Carlos Bay are known for a strong spring and summer tarpon run, drawing anglers from well beyond the area. Backwater creeks and mangrove shorelines around Pine Island Sound hold snook and redfish year-round.
What license do you need for Fort Myers?
Florida requires a non-resident saltwater fishing license for anyone 16 or older fishing recreationally in salt water, whether from shore, a pier, or a boat. You choose a 3-day, 7-day, or annual license, fill in your details once, and we email you the official PDF within 1-2 business days. We handle the application with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) so you do not have to. The license is valid statewide along Florida's coast, from the Panhandle to the Keys.
