Venice,La. Tuna Fishing Report 8-25-13
VENICE LOUISIANA FISHING REPORT
After days of bad weather and trip cancelations I was happy to get out and see what was going on. Things started off slow with it hard to make bait. We got lucky and found a grass patch that was loaded with perfect size hard tails. With a well full of baits we headed toward the tuna grounds. As we closed in on the rig I could see tuna sky rocketing. We hooked up on a nice yellowfin as soon as we got there using a popper. After soaking two live hard tails, nearly 20 minutes later both rods screamed. Both fish were in the 60lb range and were in the boat within 15 minutes or so. With a storm creeping up on us we were able to put 2 more fish in the boat. With a total of 4 yellowfin we were forced back to the dock at noon. October is around the corner. That means shrimp boat fishing for BIG tuna. Call to book your trip.

August Inshore Fishing Report Venice, La
Venice, Louisiana has been holding up its reputation when it comes to inshore fishing. We have been picking up a mess of Speckled Trout along with a quick limit of Red Fish . I have been hitting the Breton Sound area hard and its been paying off. The Cobia are also in full swing we picked up two in the 40 lb range while trout fishing. The river is starting to look right and with the trout moving up the clear green passes this month and into next, the fishing should be second to none very soon.

Venice, La. Tuna Fishing 7-23-13
Venice La Fishing Reports
The July tuna season has been good despite all the dirty water and rough seas. Fortunately we have had very little trouble catching bait so it hasn’t been hard to put a nice box of fish together. We are live baiting with Hardtails, Thread fins, Pogies, and whatever else we can find that a tuna fish will eat. I am using a eagle claw 8/0 heavy wire circle hook with 10 to 12 ft. of frenzy 80# fluorocarbon. I normally use 60# but noticed I was getting more hook ups on the 80. The Wahoo bite had slowed down a little but is starting to kind of pick back up. As far as Dolphin they are still holding thick on rip lines and floaters. I still have a few a few spots open in august if you are looking to get out to Venice on a trip of a lifetime.
