Collier County offers excellent back-country, on/near-shore
or offshore fishing. Before fishing, check local regulations regarding saltwater
licenses. Licenses can be obtained at The Collier County Hunting, Fishing and
Vessel Registration office in the Tax Collector's office, Building C1, Airport
Road & US41 East, or at most bait and tackle shops. When fishing in Florida
be careful to avoid oyster bed shoals and sand bars. Also keep a sharp lookout
for manatees, a very slow moving mammal. Many die from collisions with speeding
boats. | | | | | | |

There
are two invaluable resources for everything you need to know about fishing in
Florida. They are Fishing Lines, Anglers Guide to Florida Marine Resources,
and Fishing Lines Newsletter. These free publications provide information
regarding artificial reefs, fishing ethics, color fish identification charts,
fish size, daily limits and prohibited activities. The regulations are specific
and complex but will help you determine the type of fish and whether the size,
season and quantity are acceptable.
