Florida requires fishing licenses and permits, which are overseen by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commision. The Tax Collector is responsible for selling licenses within the county.  You can obtain licenses through the Lee County Tax Collector website www.LeeTC.com or purchase them at various local businesses like bait & tackle shops or sporting goods stores that the tax collector has contracted with.
