Hey guys, long story short, going to FL for a few days- Ft meyers area. I was looking to do some fishing...Any tips?- especially with the friendly animals lurking the waters. ( I live in NY)

You going to be bank fishing or fishing from a boat if you're fishing from the banks any of the Cape Coral canals are pretty good just find a vacant lot usually have a seawall on them  you go down there and make a few cast and just kind of move around like that

The friendly animals that may possibly be in the water, should be recognized and respected. Just move on. Keep your eyes open if you choose to fish along a very grassy or rocky bank. The slithering friends might be sunning themselves. Good luck on your outing. 

Don't feed the friendly animals! lol

Lots of good fishing there!
