Offshore Venice La
On day two I had a group in from texas that needed to just bend the rod as significantly as achievable. Tuna had been the authentic approach but with the bottom fishing becoming so good we went out and slaughtered some fish. WE had a few jigmasters on the boat so they set a hurting on the scamps even though every person else was nailing the red snappers and mangroves. The reds averaged about twelve-15 kilos with the most significant becoming 23 lbs. We also had twenty mangroves and 21 scamps with the most significant scamp currently being 18 kilos.
On day 3 I had a group in from indiana and it was blowing in the early morning so we went to the most protected water and whupped up on mangroves and reds once more. I had caught some stay pogies on the way out so we ended up able to get on the cobias pretty well we kept five quite good cobia and released 4 barely legal cobias to expand up for an additional day.
I had the very same group for day 4 and we did a uturn on the tuna fishing as the waves going south ended up just as well tough. Unfortunatly I just couldnt discover any dwell pogies that day for the cobias so we couldnt get them to cooperate so all we obtained was a limit of red snappers and some fairly mangroves before we referred to as it a day.
