May Madness: Fast-Paced Tuna Action and the Thrill of Live Bait Fishing!

May 16, 2024

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.
