Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
March 15, 2015 report.
We have had to move around a good bit to find fish, but the Redfish are around. The big issue around here in Venice is the weather that we have had the last week. The wind has not been bad, but the rain has been steady, and the fog has been really thick. We went four days when the fog never lifted all day any day. The Mississippi River traffic had to stop and anchor down. We had a bunch of ships anchored down right in front of the lodge. I couldn't see them, but I heard them. The weather in March can be really difficult, but it is to be expected this time of year. The fishing can be good.
The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is right at eleven feet and rising. By the end of March it is supposed to be around fourteen feet. The Spring rise is here, so we are definitely fishing the outer bays and beaches where the fish will be holding. The Mississippi River temperature is around 47 degrees and little, if any, salt water, so the Redfish will like it better on the outside where the incoming tides will bring in warmer salt water.
The big"BULL" Redfish are here. We just have to get to them, and we will. Come on down if you want to get in on it. We have a busy week ahead, and we are not going to let the weather stop us.
Target Species:
redfish,red fish. red. bullred, bull red
