I heard some complaints about Venice but it seems like there’s still plenty down there from guide reports, I’m not sure.
Guides aren’t necessarily going to publicize that they aren’t catching as much fish. I’ve been fishing Venice 35+ years and the difference in redfish fishing between 25-30 years ago and now is huge. Although it seems to really have declined in last 3-5 years.
20-30 years ago, you could catch and release almost as many as you wanted out in the bays (between Baptise Collete all the way to south pass). You would have your limit in less than 30 minutes most of time.

First cut out of Venice Marina to the west on Red Pass consistently was loaded with redfish. I never failed to limit on reds there now it is a shell of its former self.
Also wondering if the Roseau scale situation isn’t having a major issue on the habitat as well since the Roseau cane has noticeably dwindled over the last five years.
