Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
November 25th 2013 report
It has been a while since I have had a chance to give a fishing report for the Venice area, because I have been busy fishing with few days off, but I am happy to report that the fish are still around. The windy weather has made it difficult at times, but we have caught some really nice Redfish in the areas that were calm enough to fish. Every month of the year can have some windy days, and you cannot fish in areas with heavy seas rolling in on you, so we are constantly fishing in different areas almost daily. The Mississippi River has been low, as it usually is this time of year, so we have had the option of fishing inside the river where you get protection from the wind. The Mississippi River has been holding the smaller slot Redfish and Speckled Trout. There has also been an occasional "Bull" Redfish caught in the river as well. However, many of my clients want to catch the big Redfish, which are usually on the outside beaches and bays surrounding the river when it dumps into the Gulf of Mexico. These larger Redfish are constantly on the move, so they are not in the same spot everyday, even if you could get to the same area daily (which you cannot due to wind the shifting). So, we have to find them on a daily basis. The sooner we find them the better. We have been using Soft plastics under a cork, large beetlespins, and hard plastic run baits ( as usual) to find the fish.
Everyone seems to have enjoyed staying at the Fish On Venice Lodge. My wife, Leila, has been keeping us fed well and keeping the living quarters clean and comfortable. Everyone has been tired in the evenings and have been getting some rest for the next day out on the water. After all, fishing and catching is fairly hard work when you are doing it a lot.
Now is a good time to book a trip with us for next year, so if you are interested just give us a call. The winter months can be very productive for catching Redfish. The big Redfish are a hardy fish, and bite in the cold months.
Give me a call to book your Spring trip. When you call early you get the best choice dates.
Target Species:
Redfish, Speckled Trout
