Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
The tuna fishing remains Hot!
This past week was another good one. The weather was nice, I was able to leave in the morning just wearing a long sleeve shirt and not get cold. It was a little foggy on Friday morn. but not the worse I have ever seen. The fish bit all last week. except Fri. We sat out Wed. because of the forecasted weather and 22 knots of wind in the morning but on Thurs. we were back at with Mr. Steve Ackley and friends. The bite was immediate. First fish hooked up was a black fin tuna. After that it was every time. The guys finished the day at 11:30 a.m. keeping 2 yellowfin (90lbs. and 150.3lbs), 12 blackfin, and 2 amberjack. More meat than you know what to do with right here. Friday was a completely different day. All that was to be had was 2 black fin tuna. The group had to be back in early so we called it a day at 11:30. The boats that did stay out late said the bite never got going. That's Fishing. The wind has got us at the dock today. It is blowing hard down here right now. Most likely be back out on Wed. The tuna fishing will remain good, start looking for some huge catches of wahoo and grouper. People call all the time and say now that the tuna bite is just about done what else can we fish for. Well, the tuna bite is not just about over. April and May are just as good as the rest of the months for tuna, but we can also catch a variety of other fish besides tuna, not only that the weather is usually as good as it gets. Our new boat will be ready in about a week.
