Fishing Fishing around Sanibel Island is always a great experience no matter what the time of year! Different species can be found at different times of year. Fisherman (and fisherwomen) find tarpon, permit, barracuda, Spanish mackerel, snook, redfish and sea trout. You can also find lots of pompano, snapper and grouper! Recreational licenses and permits for residents and nonresidents are available at county tax collectors' offices. In addition, they are available from subagents, such as sporting goods stores or other retailers selling hunting or fishing equipment. In addition to the cost of a license or permit, an issuance fee of $0.50 may be charged by the subagent selling the license or permit. If you have a major credit card, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission offers you two ways to buy your fishing license without leaving your home.
