Nothing like a little fog to inspire confidence lol

[Daniel_Gig]

Unless something crazy happens, I’m going. Loaded up and ready to go. Bunch of drop shots and ½ jigs ready to go. 🤞 the river isn’t too high. But if nothing else I’ll be able to say I fished Venice lol. I’ll report back.

Trying to go in the morning… I would imagine in a 21′ boat i should be able to find some rocks protected from any wind…

River is showing 3.7′ but rising , am i too late ( as was indicted in other posts?) If no one answers me tonight, ill report back how it goes tomorrow…

Thanks

Thanks. Yeah I probably screwed up then. This is why I’m asking. The worst place to break the law is in front of the enforcement’s headquarters lol.

But yeah the person I tried to follow out, acted like I was sneakily following him to his honey hole, taking the time to speed up occasionally by the marina lol

[Daniel_Gig]

Almost all of my tagged recaptures come from over there. That tells me something.

[Daniel_Gig]

I’ll have a report posted shortly, but wow. Place is wild.

[Daniel_Gig]

Thank you for that bit of info

[Daniel_Gig]

Yeah definitely. When you have so much identical shoreline, you gotta figure out spots that have something “different”. Breaks in the rocks can be great when everything else is right, like tide going in or out. Points. Ledges. Look at your depth finder. Side scan if you have it. Places with snags are usually where the fish are.

The deeper we get into winter, I look for any sign of life. Could be an egret on the rocks. Pelicans. Any sign of life.

Trout fishing is a lot about angles

Thanks @neilnmel . I didn’t go to Venice today, choose the safe bet and fished the mrgo. Caught out limit. But I still wanna fish Venice. Hoping between now and new years the river stays long enough to get down there. I need to sit down and put a good game plan together. Last night was too last minute

[Daniel_Gig]

Thanks

[Daniel_Gig]

Thank you. Yeah i try to keep my head on swivel over there. Especially when im using spot lock. Ive had it turn off on me while im measuring a fish or whatever, and started drifting towards the rocks. Definitely need to be careful with that, and getting closer than say 50′ from the rocks. The rougher/ higher the wind is, the move space i leave for that reason. Ive been in 6′ of water and all of a sudden spotted a piece of metal just below the surface. Or giant rocks too.
