Venice

Venice Offshore Fishing It has been another few days of good offshore fishing. The weather has been a little more cooperative in the past few days and the fish have been as well. On Friday 2/9 we had the Al Brown group from Florida down. We had to reschedule the first trip because of weather but this time we got out and it was flat calm. It was definitely the calmest day of the year for me. The bite started out fast with our first fish being a black fin tuna. Put him in the boat and our second fish was a decent yellow fin at 79lbs. After that the black fin and small yellow fin action was good and ended about 10:00 a.m. That was it for the day. We couldn't buy another bite. The day ended good with 7 blacks and 5 yellowfin. Saturday morning we cancelled at the dock due to 25-30 knot winds. On Sunday we had the David Schlappy crew from Tennessee. It was very nice yesterday but the fishing was a little tougher. They finished the day with 10 tuna. 7 blackfin and 3 yellow fin. All of the yellow fin were about as big as the black fin. We did get one good fish on and he steam rolled the spool down quick and then for no reason, the line broke. Not a bad day but it took all day of constantly working the lines with sometimes up to an hour with no bite. The fishing has been as good as it gets.
