Been WIDE OPEN as we move into May. Fast pace fishing with live bait has been the name of the game for the tuna. 

A sunrise departure from Venice Marina makes for a beautiful ride down the Mississippi River. Live pogies have been the weapon of choice… we net a couple of wells full and take off!  Once we arrive at the oil rig we have been hooking them as fast as you can zip a bait out. Multiple rods bent and screaming drag. It’s really something to see! We expect the fishing to be red hot through the summer as red snapper season approaches in June.

2021 has already started strong. We have checked multiple species off the list in the first month of fishing including big tuna, wahoo, swordfish, and even a mako shark. As we move into February the lump is beginning to fire off which has been a big producer over the past couple of years. Last February and March we saw the best fishing Venice has probably ever seen. With all the big tuna around we expect more of the same this year! These big fish should be around until the end of March.
