Venice Offshore - Yellowfin Are Back ~ www.reellouisianaadventures.com
Nat Parks was a little worried about his scheduled trip this past Saturday, since his crew had their sights set on yellowfin tuna. It's no secret the Lump has been less than spectacular the past month or so, I told them we would have a change in plans if they were up for the challenge.
After bundling up for the ride down the river they were ready for some action to warm them up. Below is Nat's take on his day with Capt. Bill Delabar on the 32-Twin Vee "Anger Management" - they ended their day with 6 YELLOWFIN TUNA and 3 DOLPHIN:
"With the end of a crummy Lump season looming over our heads we knew we would have to be committed to have a chance at some Yellow Fin. As we headed out of South Pass, we soon discovered that the sea state was too rough to make the long run to the rigs. We headed off to try another spot and on the way ran across some Black Fin chasing Pogies out of the water. After netting some Pogies we tried to catch the Black Fin but they weren't cooperating. Eventually we gave up and settled in for the long ride out to the oil platforms. Immediately upon our arrival we spotted a pair of Dolphin Fish, dropped the bait in the water and it was fish-on. Not to be outdone the other Dolphin Fish promptly committed suicide on a second line. After that quick action we started working the Tuna and pulled in a 100# Yellow Fin within the first half-hour. We spent the rest of the day trolling, chumming and hand feeding line, kite fishing, and trying every trick Capt. Bill had to catch what wound up being the nicest group of fish for the day when we arrived back at Venice Marina."
"We had a really great time and already have a spot reserved in May to take advantage of some early summer action. Thanks again to Susan for setting us up with ANOTHER top-notch Captain and a big thanks to Capt. Bill and Cameron for their hard work and for showing us a great time!"
After a couple of weather days the first part of the week, the captains will be back at it on Wednesday.
Plenty of dates open in March if you want to get in on the action now. Summer dates in May, June and July are quickly filling up, so call now to reserve your date on a FAST BOAT with a TOP CAPTAIN.
