Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report

June 26, 2015 Report.
The big "BULL" Redfish fishing here around Venice has been really good for the last week and a half or so. The fishing is what we are used to, mainly because the wind has settled down. When the wind lays down the tides take care of cleaning up the mess. Every day is different as far as fishing goes, and the fish bite always has different results, but it sure helps if I have experienced anglers and some decent weather. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is at 12.1 feet today and is rising ( yet again ) to around 14.5 feet in mid July, so we have a high river and it is not dropping like we would like. Here again, if the wind stays down I can have some really good days for my clients catching the big Redfish, and we are in one of the historically calmest times of the year: hurricane season. If we don't have a storm developing, then it is usually calm seas.
No one has been losing any weight staying here at the lodge. Everyone has liked the cooking. The ladies have been catching the biggest Redfish here lately as well.
All good here. We are booking a lot of days for this late Summer and fall and we have openings for my favorite month of the year to fish: December. If a guide from down here tells you December is not a good time to fish here, you ask them if they deer hunt. If they say "yes", then that means they want to Deer hunt instead of fish in December. They are hunting instead of fishing. December is when I like Spec fishing as much as Redfishing using artificial lures.
Check in with you later, hopefully with great fishing news.
