Caught a limit of reds and some flounder immediately. The fishing was great as advertised

First trip to Venice. Had a great day on the water catching redfish, trout, black drum, and sheepshead. Our guide Adam worked hard to put us on fish. Son caught his PB redfish. Had a blast!

He puts you on the fish and keeps you there.  We loved the trip, he knows the area and boy did he get us action.  All day you could hear other captains on the radio “where they at”? And we kept on catching one after another.  Filled up the live well.

Showed up 10 minutes early at 5:15 a.m.  Stood in plain view looking like a lost charter client hoping my captain would find/see me but no luck. Had to ask around & someone finally pointed him out to me. He had already launched & was loading his boat with bait on the pier. I realize I’m a very chatty guy & maybe I was too “excited “ going gulf coast fishing after 18 months lost to the pandemic. He was very quiet & a BIT hard to get to engage in small talk. Fishing was excellent with a limit of “specks”. Finished very early but beat the real heat of the day. Perhaps I caught him on an “OFF” day & maybe he’s much more engaged with more folks aboard or families. Would have preferred to catch a mixed bag of species, reds, trout, drums, etc. I love eating all but prefer the fight of redfish but maybe tomorrow’s different charter will produce more variety.
