Venice - Saltwater Fishing Report
October 17th Report.
I have had clients from Florida, Delaware, Hawaii, and Georgia over the last couple of weeks, and we have really been on the Redfish. We have also caught some nice numbers of Speckled Trout, but the trout bite should only get better later this month through December. We have had some days the last couple a weeks where we got 60 plus Big Redfish in the boat. I am talking about 12lbs to 25lbs Redfish. Not the small ones. That means we lost just as many that did not make it to the boat. Lots of good action. The biggest Redfish the last week has been 35lbs. Caught in three feet of water. All the fish have been caught on different lures. The Redfish action should be great through to the new year. January can be great too. All year for Redfish.
My landing net finally wore out. I had about 15 cable ties holding it together. It is more difficult to find a good net for these big Redfish than you might realize. You might find the right rubber netting on one, but the handle is cheap. You may find one with the right handle, but the netting is the kind that the eye of your hooks get tangled in when the fish spins around in the net. It is simple turned complicated when you try to find the right net. The net I had was great, but I could not find the same one. I tried Academy Sports, Bass Pro Shops, and finally Cabella's. I bought one at Cabella's that I hope will last a while.
What can I say. The fishing has been good to great all year. I had maybe four days all year that were really tough days. I don't depend on luck, but I will take any I can get.
I have some openings in December if anyone wants to get in on some good inshore action down here around Venice. Have a good one.
Capt. Shawn.
