Well it’s been a great year for fishing in Venice. I met a lot of great people and caught plenty fish. The yellowfin tuna fishing this summer wasn’t the best ever but there were some really good days mixed in. Almost every trip resulted tuna being brought to the dock but t

It’s been a pretty typical summer so far here in Venice. Mostly calm seas offshore, with all the usual suspects hitting the dock lately: yellowfin tuna, blackfin tuna, mahi mahi, red snapper, mangrove snapper, and cobia. The yellowfins were a little bit slow in May but they deci

We’ve finally settled into a nice summertime pattern with the weather. Very hot days with light wind and calm seas with some thunderstorms to avoid. Unfortunately, the tuna have been a little up and down. Here one day and gone the next. The good news is that the nice dolphin(mah

We were lucky to get out on Tuesday, May 27th, right before 4 days of bad weather came in. The group was a father and his 3 sons, which is awesome to see, and they wanted tuna so we set out going south. We made a stop close in at a rig but it looked like a dead zone so we quickly move
