Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
Venice Snappers and Tuna
This past weekend was one of the calmest I can remember in a while. It was nice to be able to go where you wanted and not have to work around what the weather is giving you. On Friday we had Jim Henderson and Frank Perry down. Tuna was the targeted species but it wasn't as easy as it had been. The hardest part of the day was having them jump all around us but couldn't get them to bite. Finally, around 1:00 p.m. we had our first fish on, the guys got him in the boat and it was about a 75lber., second fish came around 3:00 p.m. and this one was about 45lbs. We put about another hour into and the guys called it a day. On Saturday we had Lyle Russell and friends back down for another round of snapper fishing. First stop, nada. Took us 10 minutes to move to the second stop and in about two hours put 24 snapper in the boat. All of them were very nice, didn't have to use the fish ruler once. They filled the limit and we went searching for A.J.'s We put three in the boat but we had to work for them. The current was our main problem but that is how it goes sometimes. On Friday Capt. Bob K. fished Mike Widak and friends from Texas. They started out running long for tuna. They had the same problem we had, all over the place but not biting very good. The did end of with several nice dolphin. On Saturday Bob K. took out the Henderson crew for their second day. They limited on snapper easily and called it a day. Back at it this week. We've got a boat open a couple of days this week and weekend.
