Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
September 22, 2014 Report.
The last couple of weeks we have been chasing the big Redfish around the passes and points down river from Venice, and they really have not been in the same general areas from one day to the next. We have had to move around and find them on a daily basis, which is typical, but it has been a little tougher to go to the first area of the day and hit the jackpot. Lightning storms and sharks have made it more difficult. This year the sharks are worse than I can remember. They just tear your tackle up and bite your 25 pound Redfish in half. They run off the Reds. Nevertheless, we have had productive trips. I have had folks from Kentucky, Tennessee, and Georgia fishing multiple days with me the last couple of weeks, and we have had some good trips. At some parts of the day we are on the fish, and other parts of the day looking for them. September is a transition time for the fish, so we just have to work to find them. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is hovering around four to five feet, so the slot Redfish in the river have been more difficult to catch, but we end up finding them too. Usually, the river is lower than where it is, and the fish settle in and are easier to find. Long story short is that the fishing is pretty good just not great all the time (at least for me and the people I know), but that will change for the better any day. Hopefully, this week, even though, we are supposed to have heavy winds all week. A cold front or two will settle these fish down where they are more predictable.
All good. Come down and get in on the action. You might time it just right.
