Fishing Reports

The Tuna fishing in Venice continues to be very good, although it's still Tuna fishing and far from automatic. Some days they are absent from places that we killed them at the day before. Other days we roll into a spot that is covered up with Tuna only to have them swim by our baits and show us there middle fin on the way by, but it seems like if you keep changing spots and techniques you can eventually crack the code for that day.

Something that's going on that normally happens this time of year is that a lot of the fish move out into open water. I don't know why they do it for sure, but I know there are small pods of bait in open water heading for parts unknown and when the Tuna find them it's GAME ON!!! Lot's of fun and some days it's about the easiest Tuna fishing to be had. Just find the Frigates and wait. Sooner or later the Tuna come up and they aren't scared of anything. They get real competitive and will allow you to drive right in the middle of them and hand feed them. It's really a cool deal. Kind of like chasing specks under the birds only these specks are 70-100 lbs and fight like a Mule!!

We did an overnighter the other night, and I forgot how much fun that can be. The Yellowfin bite wasn't happening during the night, but the Blackfin are always willing to play, our customers had a BALL with these tasty little tid bits.We had doubles, triples and quadruples most of the night and our people were giggling and laughing like a bunch of kids. Good fun for sure!!

It wont be much longer and the really BIG Yellows will show up, and all the suumer time light tackle stuff will have to come off the boat only to be replaced by the big guns.

If you want in on the fun give us a call!
