Offshore venice, La - The Hull Truth

CaptEddie · 08-15-2007, 08:33 PM

Been running a ton of trips off venice with most of them day trips where the average catch is 4-5 nice yellowfin and a couple dolphin. I also had a few night trips in there and everyone of them went into double digits on yellowfin with generally nonstop action until the box was full. The last 2 nights yeilded 16 yellowfin and 14 yellowfin before I got a couple day break. The daytime action has been solid with both live bait and chunk bait. I have been chunking with blackfin tuna at night to get the yellowfin. Most of the fish have been caught on 7/0 frenzy circle hooks with 60-80 pound frenzy flouro

On one trip we almost got a mako but the 300 pound mono parted right under the boat. No swordfishing to report but I hope to break in my new boat tomm night with a sword. Got a 36 palmetto coming in to venice with twin 250 yammys on her. Here are some pics to enjoy.

I fished with Capt. Eddie the night of the 12th. Don't make the same mistake I did and mention that you're from California. San Francisco Bay area, nonetheless. I was the brunt of all the abuse all night. Guess someone has to be, might as well be me.

We had an awesome trip. Hit a few rigs in the daylight and picked up some bait. Ended up 80 miles out and fished the same rig after dark. We killed a load of nearly all 50-75 lbs. yellowfin. Had a blast. Filled the fish box till it simply wouldn't hold anymore and headed in by 1 AM. The last fish that night went about 75 and had the 50W on full drag by the time that stubborn bastad finally came to the boat. Thanks to Capt. Eddie and Lee for a great trip. Sorry for the one bozo we brought along who had at least one too many.
