Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
November 2nd 2014 report.
We have been busy here at the Fish On Venice Lodge the last couple of weeks, and I have not had a chance to give a report. The fishing has been pretty good, except for yesterday when the wind was blowing 30 to 40 miles an hour. We have had guests from Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Texas, Illinois, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Florida fishing for the last couple weeks. All of them fishing three or four days with us. Big bull Redfish have been our target fish and they have been biting most of the time. When Plan "A" does not work plan "B" and "C" have come through for us when we needed them. It's the time of year when we can get some strong cold fronts that bring some strong wind with tough fishing, but that does not mean that you will not catch fish. We just have to go out and give it your best effort.
Well, The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is at 4.5 feet today and five days from now should be at 3.1 feet. That means the river should start getting clear green, which means it should be getting normal for this time of year and the Speckled Trout and slot Redfish will be easier to target. Go away muddy river. Most of my clients want the big Reds, so no big changes for me, but we can start using different lures with clear water. I like Speck fishing too, but not live bait. We should be able to catch Specks on artificial lures within two weeks if things hold up with mother nature.
Long story short is that things are good and should get better, so come on down.
Target Species:
redfish, red drum
