The Captiva Island Historical Society announced that the ninth film in its Captiva Memories documentary series is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime.
A full-length film, “Tight Lines & Big Fish Stories: The History of Angling on Captiva” was the brainchild of the Dave Jensen, a founding CIHS board member who served until his death in 2021.
With rare footage and photography, award-winning producer and CIHS documentarian Ken Sneeden reels in an enlightening tale of Calusa and Cubans fishing the local waters; of fish camps and commercial fishing; the emergence of sport fishing; the origins of fishing guides and the industry that developed to support the sport; and the famous visitors who came to Captiva to fish.
