Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
July 17, 2015 report.
We have had some really good Redfish action here in the waters around Venice for the last couple of weeks. I have not had much time off the water, so I have not been able to post a report. The weather has been hot, but the stable weather has helped us move around and find the big "BULL" Redfish. Fortunately, we have had a breeze to cool us down, but it has not been windy. The water we have been fishing has been murky due to the muddy Mississippi, but the fish locate our lures under a popping cork. When we do find clearer water the Sharks seem to be thick and tear up our tackle, so most of our better Redfishing has been in areas holding the murky water with a visibility of four inches or so. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is at 15 ft. and is expected to crest at 15.5 ft. on the 22nd of this month, so the river is still rising. When the river starts falling the water should start clearing and make catching the slot Redfish easier to locate. We can also start using a variety of lures to catch fish instead of using the popping corks. The corks do the job.
Everyone has said they have had a good time catching the big Reds and has enjoyed staying at the lodge. We have been getting up early to beat the heat and coming in early afternoon. Everyone is usually ready to come in due to the good bite and the Summer heat.
We have had plenty of fish over 25 lbs. the last couple of weeks, with the largest weighing 33 lbs. We boated many more over 20 lbs. Every day is different, so we will see how tomorrow goes.
Give me a call to book your fall or winter fishing trip.
