Tuna Town
There are several places that bill themselves as Tuna Town USA, but few are as worthy as Venice, Louisiana. And when the fall bite is on, it’s time to strap on the fighting belt and hang on for all you’re worth.
There are few more startling—and busy—sites than Venice marina at first light. The dock is abuzz with excitement as both inshore and offshore anglers prepare for the day ahead. Our challenge for the day was big Gulf yellowfin tuna. The target were the far off gas and oil rigs. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

How could he Reel in a tuna that small? [but to admit it I have reeled in a catfish that was 0.45Lbs!]
I use to work at Cypress Cove Marina in Venice and every year The Isle of Capri Casino in Biloxi holds a Tarpon Rodeo and the winning boat a couple of years ago left out of Cypress Cove when I worked there. The boat pulled in a 362 lb yellow fin. That is the prettiest fish I have ever seen. It was huge.
Wow! Those fish are absolutely amazing. I love the picture of the platform also. It's nice to see evidence of our country working toward being not so dependent on foreign oil. These pics really bring out the best in America! Great job guys! I am sure this fishing adventure was a reat treat! The trophies are A+.
Are these fish any good to eat?
I sure wish I could go and fish in such a great place, pretty, with big fish and lots of people who know what they're doing. Instead, I have to sit next to a hospital bed and take care of a family member. Great photos, but, lordy, lordy, lordy, do I wish I could go fishing.
