Oil Spill & Tuna Fishing

I am sure everyone is aware of the oil spill in the Gulf, but what you may not be aware of is that the Tuna fishing is INSANE!! The Feds closed fishing on the East side of the river, but we can still fish out South and Southwest and it seems that there are Tuna everywhere and they are eating everything. Poppers, live bait and there newest bait of choice the man of war fish.

Everything in Venice is as usual except for about a hundred media people that are hanging around hoping to get a shot of an oil soaked bird. Other than that you really can't tell that there is a problem in the Gulf. No odor, no sign of oil. I don't know if the Feds will ever decide to shut us down South or Southwest, but un till then we are still running and praying that BP will fix the problem.

I had the good fortune to run a few trips last week and really can't ever remember a time when the fishing was better. It wasn't just that we had the “hot hand” as every other Captain that had the good fortune of making it out did equally as well. Captain Eddy picked up nine Yellowfin one day and Capt Michael and Captain Peace both had twelve on another day.

This oil spill is really a bad deal, but sitting around worrying about it won’t fix a thing. The fact is that the fishing is as good as it can get, and it seems to me that you really should get in on some of it while you can! If you want to get in on the action, give me a call.

Thanks and God bless!
