Trip Summary
Clients fishing with me out of Venice had a great outing on an afternoon trip. They specifically requested "dinner" so we targeted primarily fish that were in season at this time.
We made a little bit of a run to the north of Venice and began our trip sight fishing along an oyster bed and mangrove shoreline. It wasn't too long before we started catching fish including some very nice sized Black Drum and Mangrove Snapper. We also caught a few Snook that were cruising the area.
After a while we made a move to another area and caught and released a few Redfish but the bite died of quickly.
One last move to another area and we were back on the fish. We fished the remainder of the trip catching lots of Black Drum, releasing many as my group commented that they had enough for dinner already and didnt want to take any more. They also caught Flounder, Sheepshead, and more Snapper as we finished out the afternoon.
