Venice LA.

Jan 21 10

I went to Venice LA. for a few days of saltwater fishing with Mike Kimita and Steve Carroll. We went out with a guide the first day to catch some Tuna and Wahoo. We didn't catch either one, but we did catch some nice fish. We caught some King Mackeral and some big shark. Steve fought a 500lb Mako for about 30 minutes before he came off. We gave up on the Tuna an Wahoo and went to some riggs. Steve and Mike both caught a 25lb Red Snapper there and I caught a large Grouper. Not excatly sure what he weighed but it bottomed out a 50lb scale. The guide guessed 55lb's, I guessed 75lb's :-). It was the first Grouper I have ever caught and he put a really good fight. Took awhile to get him in seeing we were in 200ft of water. The plan was to go back out to the riggs the next two days in my boat, but the weather moved in and the water was to rough for us to go off shore, so we stayed inshore and fished for Reds. That was ok but not what we went there for. Most of the Reds were between 5 to 10lbs.
