Louisiana - Venice & the Gulf of Mexico

Capt. Damon McKnight
November 3, 2006
Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fishing Venice, La.

The offshore fishing remains to be up and down. The snapper bite has been fast and furious. The tuna fishing is still a little slow. Capt. Bob K. took the Richard Lenley group on Sunday and tuna was the main target. After covering most of the tuna holes with nothing to show for their efforts. They headed in and easily caught a limit of snapper and about 14 mangroves to help fill the box. The monday crew which only consisted of two anglers caught their limit by 8:00 a.m. and went searching for cobia and other species which they had no luck at. The tuna bite is up and down. It was on fire with all the 20-25lbers you wanted but seem to have disappeared since the last front. We are heading out in the morning. Looks like the last day this week according to the forecast. We still have open dates in November and December. Looks like November will be our big tuna month.

Yesteray we took out the Karloffs. They are from from Sweden and were looking to put some wahoo in the boat. The first rig we pulled up to produced a double on small Yellow fin tuna. Took a couple of more passes just to be sure there wasn't a wahoo in there. We moved on after no more strikes and and covered a lot of ground thru the day. We fished all over the west side and east side of the river and could not buy a hoo. I had a live well full of mullets and hardtails just in case we came across some more tuna but there just wasn't a whole lot out there yesterday. Slow day. I marked a lot of big schoold on the finder, looked like tuna to me from the markings but couldn't get a bite. Some days they eat, some days they don't. A few boats made the long, long run yesterday but they got in so late I didn't get a chance to see what they had. Lately it has been all the 20-25lbers. you want with a few nice ones mixed in, which is uncharacteristic for this time of year. I don't know where the big tuna are but It will be any day. Along with the hoos as well. We still have open dates for Nov. and Dec.
