Step one

Buy a fishing license

Every angler 16 and older will need a Florida saltwater fishing license if you plan on fishing saltwater around Sanibel and Captiva Island. Buy one online in a few minutes through the state's official Go Outdoors Florida site. If you're fishing on a licensed charter, your captain's license covers you.
