Made 3 trips this last weekend with old friends and high
hopes of tangling with some of the 200lb Yellowfin that had been tormenting our
waters for the past couple of weeks, but as luck would have it some really
crappy water moved in and moved out our Big Tuna. Not a problem
though as we still had plenty of really BIG sharks and tons of Bonita left
behind the shrimp boats that were all too eager to pull on our lines.
Sharks and Bonita are fun to catch but we were still looking for
something to put in the ice hole for supper and the lovely thing about Venice is
that if one species doesn’t want to play there are always others willing to
participate. I our case we still had plenty of Cobia that wanted
to ride with us as well as easy limits of AJ’s and Red Snapper!!
Only time will tell what the long term effects on the oil
spill will be in regards to our fishery, but the short term effect seems to be
the best thing that could have ever happened to us. The Cobia,
Snapper and AJ that we played with recently all seemed to be considerably larger
in both size and number that normal!!
I have a few other trips coming us for the weekend of the
12th, but if you would like to go let me know because this will be
the end of the year for the Poco Loco. After these trips she’s
going to the beauty shop to get a beautified and new set of engines so she will
be ready to go in style come 2011.
God Bless!
