Best places to fish in Lee county, Florida, from the shore or dock or pier?
I don't have a boat, so I am stuck with being on land or some other structure. Where is a good place to do this?
I live on a canal down from Franklin Locks, near the Shores boat ramp and I see people trying to catch fish there, but I have only seen 2 caught in 16 years. What are they doing wrong?
Also, if you can think of a good fishing place, can you tell me the species and the bait to use?
Thank you

Hey Nancy, I live in S. Lee and do most all my fishing in salt water around Estero Bay. If you're interested in that, let me know and I'll share some info. So where you are, I know many people fish the Franklin Locks area and know tarpon and snook are two species taken from that area. Our problem now is all the water they are releasing from Okeechobee, what a mess. I think your best bet may be to find a bait shop around Alva and ask the guys there for some places to try from shore. They are usually very helpful. Also, check out the fishing show on 99.3 FM Sat. mornings 7-10. You can always call in and ask a question.
