Outdoor events and activities and parks.

Fishing
Your first stop… Florida Fish and Wildlife to get your license and check on the seasons and limits.
Fishing from a charter, fishing in the canals or fishing off the beach at Sanibel or elsewhere there is lots of opportunity. There are many charters available to go out for a day in the deep or into the shallows and mangroves or in Fresh water for Bass, as I haven’t gone on any yet I haven’t included them but if you are interested you can contact me and I can send you some links.
- Bass Pro – Fort Myers
- Captain Robs in south Cape Coral for tackle, frozen and live bait
- Big Boys bait and Tackle in North Cape Coral
- Whitneys Bait and Tackle on Sanibel Island.
- Sportsman Warehouse – Cape Coral

Boating
The Florida Fish and Wildlife has information on boating also.
- Cape Coral Sail & Power Squadron Local American Boating Squadron, a place for local information,training and meeting others.
- Hickcox boat lifts and docks. A company that put in my boat lift, set it up for the boat purchased at a later date and has been a good source of information.
- To be added the local shop I purchased the boat from Bonefish boats and Trailers, they don’t seem to have a webpage etc. so here is the BoatTrader for that area and you can search Craigslist and Facebook.
- WestMarine
- Bass Pro
- Contact me if your boat has an issue, I can refer you to someone but haven’t talked to them about here.

Shooting and Hunting
For any Hunting, Florida Fish and Wildlife to get your license and check on the seasons and limits.
I am including target shooting in this category even though there are quite a few indoor ranges. I don’t have much exposure to these places at this time so I am including places I have no experience with but seemed like they got some good reviews. Contact me.
- Book Your Hunt (Florida) – The link goes to Florida but it is a place to look for hunts locally or intentional.
- Guns 4 Less – in Cape Coral on Del Prado
- Shoot Center – in Cape Coral on Del Prado
