For a complete list of local restaurant inspections, including violations not requiring warnings or administrative action, visit our Lee County restaurant inspections site. Here's the breakdown for recent health inspections in Lee County, Florida, for the week of Oct. 26-Nov. 1, 2026. Please note that some more recent, follow-up inspections may not be included here.

Fishing with Capt. George Tunison | Now is the time to reel in redfish

Cool overcast mornings between showers and mangrove shorelines filled with hungry redfish? Uncrowded ramps and not another boat in sight?
