March Fishing Report for Venice FL.

 | By Seamus on 5/19/2012 6:46:24 PM | Views (214)



     The near shore fishing has just started to boom.  There has been lots of silver trout around.  Fish along the beaches and off the Venice jetty in about 20 ft. of water.  Like the spotted trout on the flats, they can be caught on shrimp or jigs.  I have had good success with gulp shrimp.  The silver trout have been running up to 16 inches.  The Spanish mackerel have shown up again.  They never really left, with some hanging around all winter.  They are thick all along the beaches.  Find bait and you will find Mackerel.  They have been very large this week with many reaching over 24 inches.  A spoon or light colored jig reeled fast is sure to get a hit.  Sharks tend to follow the mackerel so don't be surprised if see one trying to steal your fish.  The King mackerel should be here any day.  I have heard reports that some are being caught in with the mackerels.
     If you are planing a fishing trip, watch the weather.  March and April can be very windy with fronts coming through every 5 to 7 days.  Best days to fish tend to be right before the front or a couple of days after the front.  This is going to be a fantastic spring.  Its time to Play Hookey and come fishing with Capt. Pete.
