Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
Venice Louisiana Fishing Report.
April 19, 2018.
We have been so busy fishing that we have not posted a report lately, but we still love you. Pete and I have had clients from California (two groups from way over there), Georgia, Indiana, Texas, and Alabama down fishing the last couple weeks. These are groups of 4 to 6 folks that need two boats. Everyone had a good time. Leila and Pete have kept me straight. Good thing I have good help.
The fishing has not been bad, but we have really had to work hard for the oversized Redfish. The weather has been unstable and the high river has pushed many of the big Reds offshore where we can't get to them. However, we have been catching some quality Reds up to 30 lbs. The smaller Reds have been easy to come by. Real easy. We have been accidentally catching Speckled Trout on our Redfish lures as well. The trout fishing has been good for the most part if that is what you want. Most of my clients don't want to target trout with live shrimp, but that is the ticket for catching trout. March and April seem to be the toughest months to fish as far as I am concerned, but if it was easy everyone would be a guide.
We had a strong front come through this last Saturday with gale force winds Sunday morning. Monday rolled around and I had to take out a big name in the Bass pro world for Bull Redfish. Pete took out the camera crew to film it. The pro knew it was going to be tough because he is not stupid. We caught a handful of Reds and all were happy. I signed paperwork that won't let me give out names till the show comes out. It's been tough, but the only clients that were not super happy were the ones that have been with me before where we caught 40 to 60 Bull Redfish. The lodge is open and we will keep the lights on for you.
Target Species:
Bullred, redfish, red fish, red drum
