Sanibel Island Fishing & Watersports

Local lore has it that fishing is so popular on Sanibel you can throw a shell and hit a charter captain. Avid anglers complain of sore arms from reeling in so many trout, grouper and mackerel. Watersports enthusiasts complain because the island strictly prohibits noisy wave runners and jet skis, but they can still enjoy quieter pursuits like surfing, sailing, canoeing and kayaking in the island's many aquatic settings.
