Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
August 30, 2015 Report.
The "BULL" Redfish have been on fire for the last couple of weeks off the passes of the Mississippi River around the Venice area for the last couple of weeks. These Redfish have been in different areas, and , fortunately the winds have not been strong, so we have been able to move around in case the sharks move in on us. Much of the time, cloud cover has been keeping us from burning up in the hot August Sun. You never know when the best time of the year to come down here fishing is, but this August has been the best Redfish bite of the year so far. The Redfish have been so thick that they take our lure under the cork and while you are fighting the hooked fish, another one hits the cork under water and busts the tackle up. Sometimes, when we get a fish next to the boat to net, another one or two Reds are next to it trying to take the lure. That happens a lot during the year, but the muddy water prevents us from seeing it. Now that the Mississippi River stage is below five feet in New Orleans, We will see the fish more often due to the water being much clearer. Its getting the time of year many anglers consider the best time to fish as far as the river being low. The "BULL" Redfish fishing should continue to be really good, and the slot Redfish should be easier to find as well. The Speckled Trout should be easier to target by mid October using artificial lures. November and December are usually great months to target 15 inch Specs ( if that is your thing ). All in all, it is shaping up for a very busy fall and early Winter for us at Fish On. We still have some openings in November if anyone wants in on what should be some great fishing action with a lot of options.
Target Species:
redfish, red drum, redfish
