Venice and South fishing is poor unless you go out 30 miles but the wind kicks your butt. 12-18 mph. Mangrove fishing been light also.

Yesterday just about everything was biting around the mouth of the river on into the gulf. A lot of snook and redfish.

Bonita Barry do you do off shore fishing?
Yes Gapo. I go out to man made reefs (rubble piles) out of Wiggins and New passes. Usually 3-10 miles. The boat club I belong to has a couple of twin powered boats equipped to go much further. I have one reserved in May with plans to fish a couple of wrecks off Sanibel/Fort Myers. These are around 50 miles out. Hoping for good weather. Will report back if all goes well. FWC has a published list of man made reefs as well as wrecks in the gulf with GPS data. Some data is old and the storms down here shift and cover up the rubble from year to year. The published numbers will get you in the general area, but I’ve found that you still have to do some searching when you hit them. Hope this helps.

I’m super jealous! I’ve traveled through the area a few times(gorgeous there), even worked there a tiny bit. Fishing was always from beach or along creeks, wishing I had my boat there.
God bless you; enjoy.

Great looking red there Nit. Thanks for the pic and info. Wish we could keep those down here in Bonita. I’m hopeful the FWC moratorium will expire May 31st!
