“we fishing the rocks at the mouth in the river along with the rest of Venice it seemed”
There’s probably been a good deal of fish there, but I bet it plays out like any other community hole: gotta get there first.
“After a long long day we only caught the 3 trout. Sigh.”
I hate to hear that.
” I don’t even care that I didn’t hammer the trout.”
I have had the most brutal days there of running and not seeing a dang thing, getting stuck, getting unstuck, more empty water and I always leave there like “dang, what a day”.
“I caught some hammers and got to fish in areas I would’ve never dreamed of taking my 17 ft bass boat when I first bought it”
It’s the guy driving the boat, not the boat itself, that matters. Much respect.
“Or maybe they’re not totally there yet and will be soon.”
Water temp is still pretty warm, especially for freakin’ November. There was a great report out of the Long Rocks, so who knows?
Right now I am waiting for some parts to come in for my boat (alternator, etc.) and will be headed to Venice ASAP after those parts are installed. I just need to get down there or I am going to implode. As always, I’ll give a report when I do.
I do think it’s worth mentioning that when I fish 1st Spillway I fish just outside of it on the south side of the weir on the south side of the spillway going into the river. I’ve just done better there. Then, from there, I drift down and fish the rocks.
Venice may need to get colder. I just don’t know. I’ve heard that the guides are wrecking the trout down there, so the trout must be somewhere. But where? Well, I hope to help answer that question.
This was a great report. I appreciate you taking time to post it and keep us updated. Thank you so much!
