Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
October 3, 2014 Report.
We have been out fishing for the big Redfish a bunch here the last few weeks, and we have caught some good ones, but the bite has been slower. I don't know why, but we have not had bite after bite. We have had to keep casting out for them and moving around looking for them. When we do hook up with a Redfish I have encouraged the other anglers on the boat to keep fishing while their buddy is fighting his, so that we might double up. That has worked out some of the time, because they do run in schools. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is around 4.5 feet today and it is dropping to around three feet by early next week. I think the river will have that clear green water again by late next week. This will help us catch the slot Redfish in the river, but the big Reds will mostly be on the outside beaches where they are most of the year. We are used to fishing murky water, so I don't know why we have had a slower bite here lately. The bite will pick up, because the fish are here. I know the Speckled Trout bite has been slow as well, because I have spoken with folks who have tried for them, but they should start moving into the river this month and be easier to target. I guess it sounds like a lousy fishing report, but we have caught some nice fish the last couple of weeks. I am just used to catching a lot of fish when we find them, but I can't get spoiled every day, although I wish I could. Everyone has had a good time. All my clients the last couple of weeks have been out with me before, and even though they may have caught more fish the last time, they say they will be back. The bite has to get better, so come on down, because we are due for the fast bite.
