Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
Venice, La. fishing.
The weather has been keeping us at the dock lately. This has been a very windy season so far, but not any more than usual. It has mostly been strong north winds with all the cold fronts we've been getting. The fall/winter fishing this year has been somewhat tough. We are use to catching big tuna and wahoo in close this time of year but the fish never really moved in. They are still mostly out about 50-60 miles offshore. When they were in close we would only have to run about 15-25 miles out which was doable in the winds we've been having, but since they are still out there a good ways our fishing has been limited to non-windy days only. The good news is that about mid-
December it seems to hit a plateau for about a month, the wind settles down, which gives us plenty of opportunity to take advantage of the huge tuna and wahoo on the lump and surrounding areas. Then about mid-January the wind picks up again and we will have more days at the dock than on the water. The after affects of hurricane Katrina are mostly memories now. Life has returned to normal for the most part. Although I would have chosen not to go thru a devastating storm such as this one. It has taught manhy of us a valuable lesson. We now know what to do if this ever happens again. It looks like we will be back out again on Monday and Tuesday. I will try and report shortly afterwards. We still have dates available to fish in January and February. If you are after trophy size fish this is the time of year.
