The Yellowfins are Marching into Venice for Spring
The Venice fishery continues to live up to its legendary reputation and Champion Charters is here to put our anglers on the bite! The Yellowfin Tuna made an early appearance and they are here to stay through the Spring conditions. We’re also getting into some amazing Wahoo action on our way out to the Yellowfin grounds. Let’s get into our latest fishing report.
Getting Out Front to Tangle with Tunas
We’re hitting the Gulf of Mexico in our custom 36′ and 39′ Yellowfins with our
livewells crammed with live mullet and hardtails. Our clients have been
relaxing in comfort and safety as we rip it out to the tuna grounds to find the
tunas.
Once we arrive at the target zone and get our baits in the water, we’re being greeted by huge Yellowfin Tunas ranging in size from 40 lbs to 80 lbs and larger! Book your trip NOW to get in on this incredible Tuna action!
Black Goes with Yellow
While catching these huge Yellowfins, our clients are also getting tight on some large Blackfin Tunas too. These tackle-busting Blackfins are mixed in with the Yellowfin schools and are in the 30 lb to 40 lb range!
Wahoos On the Way to the Grounds
As we make our way to the Tuna grounds, we’re picking off 2 to 4 Wahoo each trip by trolling artificials over rips and color changes, as well as looking for bird activity. These Wahoos are in the 40-80 lb class and will absolutely melt our drags…and then melt in your mouth for dinner.
Ask About the Champion Charters Overnight Trip
We have been enjoying EPIC overnight charters with our anglers lately and you should get in on this bucket-list experience!
Our Overnight Trips, which leave the dock at Noon and return
at Noon the following day are action-packed trips! Our anglers are catching
huge Wahoo (from 30 lbs to 80 lbs) during the daylight hours on our way out to
the Tuna grounds by trolling various lures and lures rigged with dead baits.
We will fish our way offshore to the point that we can get set up for the dusk “witching hour” when Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna and swarms of Blackfin Tuna launch into a feeding frenzy on schools of flying fish as we pitch live baits to them. After it gets dark, the action stays red-hot. We switch from live baits to “chunking” to keep the tunas around the boat and pitching jigs.
The springtime bite is only going to get better but you need to get out there with us soon as our March trips are nearly filled up and April is booking quickly too. Don’t forget to ask us about large parties! We can take up to 12 anglers! Give us a call to reserve your experience of a lifetime!
Tight Lines,
Captain Chandler
