Venice Louisiana Fishing Report
May 19, 2016
Hello, we have been out on the water almost every day here around the Venice area going after the Redfish and Speckled Trout. We have had to change our fishing locations almost every day due to the wind churning up the water and choppy seas, along with the muddy Mississippi River water. We have been catching fish in some muddy water, but when we find clearer water we get a better bite. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is right around 12 feet and just does not want to fall. If the wind would settle down the tides would clear up the water and give us a lot more areas to fish. I think the weather is fixing to get more stable, so the fishing action should improve to the level we are used to. The last couple of weeks we have had clients from Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and the guys from California just left to go home this morning. We had a great day on the Bull Redfish yesterday. We were seeing schools of the big Reds yesterday. It's really cool to see that, but the problem with that is they tear up your tackle when there is that many fish going after your lure. The Californians had to take breaks due to the fast action. That is how it is supposed to be like most every day. It most likely will be that way, soon. If finding the fish was always easy anyone could do it. I admit, I wish it was easy more often. Everyone has been having a good time and taking fish home, but I think the fishing is fixing to get really good.
