In early May I had a few requests for some inshore fishing. I know from experience that Breton Sound is full of rod bending action in May so we pointed the boat east from Venice for 3 trips in a row. We fished the wellheads and islands with great success catching redfish, black drum,

April 19th we awoke to windy conditions and a rough sea forecast. Some other trips cancelled but my guys came a long way and I knew we could make something happen. The wind was supposed to let up some as the day went on so we took our time getting out and stayed close. On our way I fo

April 11th I had a private boat trip and this group wasn’t interested in a long boat ride or rough seas so we stayed close in close on the shelf. The shelf is what we call the area between  land the continental shelf dropoff over a thousand feet. It was a little rough and we sta

Monday’s weather was not nearly as nice with rain showers around, some patchy fog, and a front scheduled to come through later that evening. It wasnt real windy but there was a nice sized swell coming out of the south. We had to wait out some rain that was on top of the area I w

Fished offshore Sunday and Monday with some mixed results. With beautiful weather Sunday, we decided to take a boat ride and look for some tuna. Started off with a nice surprise by catching some perfect sized hardtails for bait. Hit 3 floaters and marked very few fish but we still man

Finally a little break in the weather and decided to get out for some tuna fishin’ We started out at a rig on the shelf but the water was dirty and had no bait. We did mark some fish so we jigged for little bit catching 2 blackfins to get the ice dirty. Next stop was a close in
