Louisiana - Venice & the Gulf of Mexico

Capt. Damon McKnight
April 17, 2005
Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report

What's up with the Weather

Boy O Boy, has the weather man been wrong the past few days. Calling for 4-6 most of the week but it has turned out to be fairly calm. Luckily for us we only cancelled one of those days. Capt. Bob K. has been rig fishing on the bad weather (beautiful and no wind) days because of the chance it may have picked up. Which it did do a little yesterday but at about 10:00 p.m. last night the winds have layed down to the single digits. This April has been tough. Capt. Bob had Dr. Whitaker and friends from Chicago on Thurs. They went to the rigs to see what they could get and of course they caught all the red snapper they wanted which were released unharmed, but the big surprise was they had plenty of lane and mangrove snapper to fill the ice chest with. The red Snappers aren't the only ones out there guys. A few other misc. fish and they headed in. Yesterday, he took out Mr. Neil Manson and gang from Miss. Same go around again. Calling for 5-7ft. seas before bed, woke up to flat calm. How you like it! Back to the rigs in case the forecast did hold and blasted you once you made it out 40 miles or so. They caught grouper and of course snappers(released). I think a few Kings but no Cobes like last week. The tuna fishing has been average at best. But just wait it is coming. Blue Marlin, Dolphin, Big Tuna, more wahoo than you know what to do with. I am still getting the new boat ready and will do that most of the week. We have some openings in May but not many. May and June are two awesome months for tuna, marlin, and dolphin. The weather is usually just right and the runs are short and easy.
