Best fishing spots in Punta Rassa

Punta Rassa sits right at the foot of the Sanibel Causeway, so the fishing starts almost on the doorstep. The Sanibel Causeway Islands, about 2 miles away, are known for sheepshead, snook, Spanish mackerel and redfish around the bridge spans.

Bowditch Point Park on Fort Myers Beach is around 3 miles off, with snook, crevalle jacks and pompano in the pass, and Sanibel Lighthouse Beach is just over 3 miles away across the bay for snook and pompano along the beach. Few towns in the county have this much shore fishing so close.
