Venice, LA Monster Bull Red Fishing



Great reports are coming in from Captain Keith Kennedy. Conditions are prime and the early summer bite is excellent!

I'm heading down to the Venice camp early next week with good friends and veteran Redfish anglers Gary Clark and Jeff Stagg. As you can see above, our last trip to the Delta together was pretty outstanding.

That was our first foray out to the bayous and beaches loaded with the new El Grande Boom R Ang. If you look close in the photo's the Boom R Ang was the bait of choice that week. BUT, that was with the "standard bass mix" Boom R Ang plastic. This trip we are armed with the updated "salt water" grade plastic and with some new species specific color combinations. 

I'll be reporting from Venice Camp next week with fresh destination information and a review on the El Grande Saltwater Boom R Ang! Look for reports on the Fishing the Americas Blog.

Good fishin'

Late Fall Fishing Report for Venice, La...Fishing is Great!



Captain Keith reports the fishing remains strong for the Big Girls: Fished Nov. 18, 19 and 20 with party of three, Hank Szopinski , his brother Mike and friend Larry Nickels. The first day was windy, North 15 to 20, fished the outside beaches at South Pass with limited success but the last two hours was non-stop action after a school of big girls moved on the beach to feed. The second day we tried another area that I had total confidence in, again we had limited success. Fish seemed to be scattered due to a strong cold front that came through on the 17th. Around 11am decided to make a big move and run 15 miles to an outside bay on the edge of Redfish Bay, BINGO !!!!! Fished late and left the fish biting at the end of the day. The third day we returned to Hole Number Two and the fish were waiting for us ,first cast fish on 28lbs, non-stop action for most of the day. All fish for the trip went between 18 and 34lbs……….

New Fall Red Fish Report for Venice, LA...Great Fishing!


No sooner that the airplane wheels hit the landing strip from his return from the jungles of South America after a great Peacock Bass trip and he's off to the beaches and bays of the Mississippi Delta for Bull Reds! This report just in from Venice, LA and Captain Keith's camp by our friend and Redfish specialist Gary Clark.




Arrived Venice, LA this trip just in time for a big cold front. Fought wind and waves for first two days but caught bull reds anyway---along with some unwanted but very acrobatic black tip sharks. Then, finally, some great weather on the last day thanks to a welcomed high pressure system in the Gulf. Very warm with no wind. 40 bull reds in the boat with all well over 28". Two 32 pounders topped the catch. Plastics prevailed with Tsunami split tail minnows and the new Bomber mud minnows producing best. We experienced some of the most spectacular strikes and feeding frenzy ever! Total catch for the 3 days was 84 reds, 2 trout and many sharks (unfortunately!). Thanks to Capt. Keith for another great trip!



Best,
Gary
