Venice

[fishinpox]

Headed to Venice this morning to take advantage of the low wind forecast, n try to catch some tuna behind the shrimp boats ...ran down river to find pretty calm seas but a good breeze . Was a little worried about the breeze picking up and being that we were in my bay boat we changed plans and decided to try for mangroves , that way we could limp in if needed. Caught a few small mangroves but nothing like usual . Started to see some grass mats come through so we went in search for the bigger patches . Ended up in about 190' of water around some broken grass lines but there was some good patches/ debris . Threw small trout sizes grubs trying to get the chicken dolphin and were able to stick a few . Had 2--3 very nice size dolphin 4+ ft swimming below the boat but they wouldn't commit . Kept picking away at the chicken dolphin and decided to run to east bay to find calmer water because the wind kept picking up . Hit 4-5 platforms in east bay with zero luck except for Spanish mackerel , tons of em ...... Lost enough tackle n decided to run it
