Pretty fine week for Paradise Outfitters boats in Venice, Louisiana..weather was perfect and the fish were plentiful, dumb and hungry..Started off the week with a 166 pound yellowfin after a 3 hour fight..had missed 5 other larger fish before we got the solid hook-up on him. Next day was spent bottom fishing where we caught 5 gag grouper 10-20 pounds, 2 scamps and all the amberjack we could stand. Next day Capt Sonny took the same crew tuna fishing and I entertained another party..after making bait we set up side by side chumming and live baiting on the rip..the blackfin were thick as theives and we each boated a dozen in less than 2 hours. I also had one decent yellowfin about 75 pounds and Sonny's crew boated two yellows. Tried trolling for wahoo but with no luck. Saturday I had a group that entered the winter tournamnet an good thing they did..ended up wining in the wahoo (71.9#), grouper(10#) and placing in the shark (11#) and wahoo(50.5#) categories..we had a limit of amberjack, a few blackfin, one blacktip shark, 3 wahoo from 72-40 pounds and a 10 pound scamp on the day...Took Sunday off and Darryl and Sonny came in with 10 blackfin tuna..all 20 pounds or more...Paradise Oufitters - 985-845-8006 Click Here for more information.
