March Venice Trip

Post by killula »

We got lucky with the weather and took advantage of the opportunity to fish Venice again. Being it was a full moon day 1 we trolled for half a day along with dropping for grouper. Neither materialized, so we went off a good tip to fish the lumps. Thanks to Captain Ellis for the tip

Action was solid for the next 4 hours and we got a 100+ # yellow.

After loosing about $400 worth of jigs, fluorocarbon, and hooks between 6 anglers we tied up some wire and caught a few of these. Image

With the day winding down we caught a bunch of these in our shallow water spot. Image

And holy $#_!, Jay actually let someone else get a picture of a fish they caught, lol. Image

Day 1 ended like this Image

Every fish was caught within 6 hours, since we wasted half the day during the AM, still it is impressive.
We gave a few kings and the overslot redfish away to Trong who helped us clean fish and took away our carcasses.

Day 2 we went west last minute because of a young captain who gave us Intel on Eddie catching 18 yft. We caught 1 that spot, however we ended up catching a ton of these, and they were all about the same size, and all on jigs. Image

Day 2 ended up just like day 1, both days had two wheel burrows full of fish.

Even tho my plans of catching a 150# tuna never materialized, doesn't matter. Because it's off to OBX, I go!

Hope you guys enjoyed the report.

Nice trip Dave. The jig you caught the redfish on, have you done well with them ? I bought one for tuna jigging at night but never used it.
Dreaming the dream that one day I can be as good as some of the boatless pros and catch some 12 inch mangrove snapper.

Those Roscoe do work. Caught a lot of different species with them. They resemble a squid.
