Offshore Fishing Venice, La.
The offshore fishing out of Venice, La. has been on fire. This time of year we catch a lot of Yellow fin Tuna, Black fin Tuna, Snapper, and Cobia. It has been a while since our last post so I am going to give it a recap. This past July and August was incredible as far as tuna, dolphin, and the wahoo catch went. There were more wahoo caught this summer than in a long time. The tuna fishing was outstanding also with plenty of 100+lbers. caught in some of what are supposed to be the hardest months to catch fish this size. Our largest went 193lbs., caught by John Potts, on a live herring. The Bull dolphin (mahi-mahi) fishing started out strong and ended strong. One day we smoked them and the next they seemed to disappear. There were a few days we managed to get a few pairs and singles in the boat but towards the end of July it got slow for dolphin. Right now we are catching as many snapper as you want. One day it is nothing but 10-15lbers. the next all 5-6lbers. all depends on the day. Any day now the 100+lb. yellow fin will start to move back in to eat the mullets that will start moving out of the passes. This is a very exciting time of the year. Along with the Tuna you get the big Wahoo as well. It is very common to catch huge wahoo in close during October and November. They will eat just about anything but live bait is definitely the best. We will be out fishing the next few days and our report will follow shortly after. Venice is back in business and has been for a while since Katrina hit.
Plenty of lodging in cabins, hotels, and houseboats. If your looking to get in on an exciting charter check out or Website Pics to see what you can possibly have a shot at catching down here.
