Venice Louisiana spring fishing for snapper tuna and wahoo

Everyone went in different directions yesterday with great results..I had the Feakes/Floyd crew out on the maiden voyage of the 43 Post..with the Albemarle down we swapped over to the ol' Mail Truck..I was very impressed with the way it took the seas..slow and steady..dont think I could have got it out of the water nor would I have wanted to..I did like the boat though..made 18 knots into the 3-5 headsea with everyone sleeping downstairs..its going to make a decent overnight boat as we expected..given my circumstances with speed or lack of it, I got a gift from above yesterday..bluewater was 2 miles out of the pass and in 75 feet of water..I have always heard of this happening but wish I had taken a picture of the rig just out of south pass sitting a few miles inside bluewater..had planned to geta shot of it but byafternoon it had moved out 3 miles..Talked with Myron Fisher, who once heard it was inside the seabouy..anyway I was glad to have seen it..we put the baits out not long after and missed something decent right off the bait..our plan was to troll from rig to rig with the baits in the water stopping to pick up a snapper here and there..when it was over we had our limit of snapper, 4 wahoo, one dolphin and a tuna not bad for being the last gyout and the first one home..Hunter had Paul Le et al and they decided on bottomfish; Good choice as they got thier limit in 45 minutes as well in addition to 6 grouper..they also ran out to pick up two yellowfins and a dolphin..Paul joked it took less than an hour to catch nearly 30 fish and 5 hours to catch 3 fish....Capt Scot Leger had theNat'l oilwell/Varco crew from Hosetown andthey went straight for the tuna picking up 7 yellowfins a 40 pound wahoo and 3 jacks... ..his crew didnt want anything to do with snapper so they stayed in deepwater all day...all around the weather was fair and it slacked by afternoon..it picked up about 8 last night and hasnt quit since..we are scratched through Friday and it looks to havebeena mistake for tomorrow..still have plenty days open during the "true snapper season"..weekdays are light traffic too..today we plan to put the outriggers back on the boats next maintenance day..had my hands full with turbo today..back to spped and smokeless..will reload the big reels as it appears trolling time has come sooner than later..Paradise Outfitters - 985-845-8006
