Sanibel Bayou is one of the named lake waters in Lee County, so I would begin around one sheltered section of water and avoid a long move until I see enough in the opening stretch.

The known size and water figures for Sanibel Bayou are about 676.1 surface acres, so I would use them as context for how much territory to include while fishing one promising part of the lake until I get a clear read from the first adjustment.
Exact-water fish information is limited for Sanibel Bayou, so I would bring a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig to one easy-to-read part of the lake and keep the plan broad until I learn something from the first few casts.
