Nov 11, 2004; 03:41PM - Tuna, mako sharks and grouper in Venice
|
|
Category: Louisiana
|

Author Name: Capt. Scott Avanzino
|
Lots of surprises this week or short week as it
turned out..really had hoped to run the entire week
with our scheduled trips before the next front but
it came early...after hearing stories of acres and
acres of huge yellowfin from Sonny and Darryl on
Sunday (They had 2 fish on 6 bites - 140# and 120#
yelowfins), I had Kevin Ford of Geaux Fish TV
accompany me with Mike and William Miller, and
David Montz on the Cabo. After reaching the grounds
we didn't see any sign of life..decided to put out
a four line trolling spread to cover some water
..it never happened for us (or anyone else that
day).., but while we making bait, we saw a big mako
at the transom of the Balancing Act - we sped over
to capture the memory on film..the fight lasted 45
minutes after which Jeremiah Sablatura's 250 pound
mako was secured to the transom..we stuck around
for another hour with no bites before we left to go
pursue some grouper..David really wanted grouper
before we left the dock and I was looking at
another shot at beating the world record for
yellowedge grouper since the big fish I caugh on
Oct 30th did not count for either state or world
record consideration as I handed the rod off to
gaff my own fish while it was floating on the
surface..rules are rules..anyway..the grouper bite
was wide open for the 90 minutes we tried..we had
12 good bites and landed 7 groupers and one red
snapper..we were using 16/0 circle hooks to cut
down on red snapper bycatch and it worked..the
final tally was 6 yellowedges 10-15 pounds and one
60 pound warsaw..I went 2 for 4, David went 4-4 and
Mike Miller went 1 for 4..William went 0-0 - and I
let him hear about it too! We figured out that
David has the proper build for a successful grouper
fisheman..tremendous upper body strength with a low
center of gravity from all the junk in his
trunk..anyway he caught the big warsaw Monday..it
had 3 sets of hooks in it's mouth...Tuesday I had
Judge and Chad Edwards, Bart Belaire and Mark
Piazza of Abbeville..I tried to cancel on Chad but
he informed me that the wind would be light enough
to make the trip and he came anyway..he was right
and I was wrong..don't think it blew over 12 knots
until the afternoon..we stayed close just to play
it safe..never more than 10 miles out..slow roll
out of the east..conditions looked great..tons of
mullet, bluegreen water within 5 miles of the
pass..worked one school of blackfin picking up one
on a jumbo mullet..not sure how he swallowed
it..tons of sharks too..not the good kind..never
saw any yellowfin and by 2pm we decided we would go
look for jacks or better..the amberjack were thick
and hungry for mullet..picked up the limit rather
quickly, playing with the rest of them until we ran
out of live bait..fished bonita slabs on bottom and
picked up a 65 pound warsaw and 3 nice gags..Mark's
grouper put the trip over the top for me, although
a 150 pound class yellow is something I haven't
seen since the summer and really had my heart set
on..according to reports from Darryl and Sonny who
found the schools Sunday; the big fish have been
balling up mullet in open water..find the bait
balls and you find the fish..of course it helps
when it's flat calm..not sure when we'll see that
again..Plenty of great pictures to share from the
last 3 days, should have them posted on my website
tonight.. Paradise OUtfitters - 985-845-8006
