Day 3 report Venice, La.
These fish were actually bigger than we had seen the last 2 days. 2 of them were gaff size. This patch of grass had been hit by several other boats before we got to it so the fish were boat shy We had to chum hard to keep them in the hunt. Every time we slacked up a bit they went under the weeds and hid. There were hundreds of bar jacks and big hard tails also chasing the chum. Another couple dozen mahi for today also. On the way in we stopped at a rig that I was hoping the sharks would not be a problem. Once there we tied up and I put a line down. Although there was no current on top the 16 ounce sinker was running out to the side of the boat and I could not get to the bottom sufficiently. I dug out the heavy weights and let a 3 1/2 pound weight down. With this I was able to hold bottom but did not want to mess with a lot of other fish with this setup. Fortunately our fish came up quickly. We had some fun with this almost 3 pound white trout before we put it on ice. After 3 days of fishing with me they enjoyed the ride in. Life is Good! Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important than that. CAPT HOOP -- OUR FREEDOM |
