Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
May 27, 2015 report.
With all the rain in the Midwest and everywhere the Mississippi River is on a slight rise again, but when the wind settles down the water clears up. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is at 11.2 feet and five days from now it will be at 12 feet, so the river is not falling as fast as we would like, but it is the wind that we want to lay down so we have different areas to fish.
We are catching some nice fish regardless of the weather. We have mostly been targeting the big "BULL" Redfish, so we are fishing the outside bays and beaches, and since the river is high that is where we need to be anyway. We have had anglers from Texas, Alabama, Florida, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee here the last couple of weeks fishing, and they called me for the fish they can't catch where they are from: the big Redfish. They really are impressed with the power of the Redfish. We have been catching them with artificial lures. Mostly soft plastics under a popping cork. We have used some large crankbaits as well, but with the murky water it is hard to beat a popping cork for results.
Anyway, the better the weather, the better the fishing most of the time. We do well when the weather is tough at times, but we just can't move around as much in rough seas. Let the seas be calm and the fish bite good.
Give me a call for your Fall fishing trip…..
