The fishing in Venice this past week remains VERY GOOD!!
The Tuna have moved back in close so we don't have the
long runs to make anymore so that's nice. The only problem is that even though
they are close they tend to move around a lot. The rig that was hot yesterday is
barren today, but if you keep moving around you can find them. Some days the
problem was not finding them, but trying to figure out what they wanted to eat.
We would try to make sure we had "crack", threads, and chunk before we got on
them because some days they were VERY particular.
Something that is kind
of neat is the LARGE number of peanuts that are around. Lot's of peanuts, and
lot's of Bonito can always equate to fast and fun top water action. After
everyone gets enough of that early top water action we will pull farther off the
rig and put the live baits out for the big boys. Most of the bigger fish are
still 50-70 lbs, but the last day we fished we put five big fatty's in the boat
by noon with the biggest going over 100lb and the other four were over 70lbs.
The past couple of days we would quit Tuna fishing by noon because our
guest's had all they wanted, and then we would go get on the Mangroves getting extremely fast limits. I guess we
laid off of them some time back and they have short memories because they are
fast and furious with no need for chumming.
The only down side to what's
going on in Venice is the AJ's have been tough. Seem's like the commercial
boys cleaned them out while the AJ season was closed for recreational fisherman,
but with the Mangrove 's and Tuna on the chew all boats are
coming back with nice box's of fish.
If you want in on the fun I have
Friday and Sunday open.
