The Tuna fishing out of Venice remains solid most days and stellar on
others. Last Wednesday the Tuna were knee deep around the cleaning tables. I
didn't get to fish that day, but heard tale of several of the boats getting 15
or more. Gotta love that! Thursday through Sunday the wind cranked up again and
I think by Monday everyone had thrown in the towel. Thursday through Sunday we
continued to get lots of yellows although nothing like Wednesday. Five to seven
Yellows seemed to be the norm, but all's good because it seemed to be an early
morning bite, so while they were on the chew it was pretty fast and fun. Once
they would go down we'd move inshore a bit and play with the AJ's and the random Cobia or two so the fish box's were pretty full
when we'd hit the dock.
Most of us stayed in close due to the rough seas
and prolific numbers of Yellow that were on the shelf. Most of the fish on the
shelf are still of the smaller variety, although a few of them went over
100lb.
Capt Josh Howard chose to make the long run several days in a row and
was rewarded with some REALLY nice fish. Several were over 100lbs, and all the
rest were 80-90lbs. Only problem is that poor Josh seems to be several inches
shorter than when he started this little Gulf walk about. Don't know how he was
able to find willing particapants for the saes we were in, but more power to
him!! LOL.
Keep your eyes peeled for the picks as I'm sure he'll be posting
them soon. Really NICE fish.
Capt Jerry Allen
