redfishing in Venice louisiana

August 15, 2015 report The last couple of weeks have given us some really good Redfishing here in Venice. I have been fishing with several groups of guys from Georgia and Oklahoma. We have been boating 40 plus "BULL" Redfish a day. One day we had 67 Reds. The average size fish was 20 pounds with the largest being 31 pounds. The weather has been calm, so we have been able to move around in different areas to fish. It has definitely been very hot as well, so we have been drinking a lot of water before we have headed out to fish. The only real problem we have been having is the sharks. Some days they are not around and some days they are everywhere. They tear up our tackle and sometimes bite our Redfish in half. Sometimes, we can move and get away from the sharks and sometimes we cannot. Everyone has been having a great time with all the fishing action. The Mississippi River stage in New Orleans is at 11.8 ft. today and is supposed to be dropping to 8.5 ft. five days from now. That is a strong drop, and the river water should start clearing, and the slot Redfish should start moving into the river and be easier to target. With the clearer water we will be able to see the Redfish strike our lures, and fight over our lures. Anyway, the fishing has been good and the fishing should be great for this fall. If you want in on it just give me a call now to book your Fall or Winter fishing trip. Yes, we still catch redfish in winter…
