Fishing Venice with an East wind
Posted on 9/24/14 at 2:43 pm

I don't fish Venice a whole lot, but might be going this Sunday. There's supposed to be a 15-20 knot east wind blowing all weekend according to the weather reports I'm seeing. I'm guessing we should stay on the west side of the river with that being the case. Any help from people with experience with the area would be much appreciated. We're staying inshore btw. Would love to get on the trout, but have heard mixed reports so reds and flounder is our backup plan.

Fished all last weekend with 20-25 mph east winds, the river is jacked up right now and the east wind keeps the tide up and the water in the reeds...we were bass fishing, had to get in ponds to catch....didn't talk to anyone who did anything with the specs
...And the river was pretty damn rough

East wind isn't a big deal there. If fishing for Reds I would find a calm area in the river and you will find reds. Can also look in the wagon wheel and riverside as options on an east wind.
I just hope the lightning isn't too bad with all of the rain, I'll be down at the camp Sat and Sunday stop by for a beer if you want.

Man did you pick a bad weekend. Wind is howling out the north now and then pushing up over the weekend. No natural tide movement! Find some clean water(if lucky) and fish where the wind is pushing water around a point or pushing bait into a pocket. A buddy of mine is a guide and said the river was rising and dirty last week. I see its steady right now, maybe itll clear up some. Good Luck.

That's why I am there to teal hunt lightning permitting.

You have a house boat down there or are you up the road?

10-4. I was just curious because I really want a house boat or one of those condos in the marina one day.

I was down there Thur- Sat last week and didn't have much luck fishing Friday and Saturday with that strong east wind. Talk to a few people who also talked to some guides and not many people did good Friday and Saturday. Best bet would be to fish the West Bank side of the river like Da Hammer said.

I have stayed on many houseboats and they are just something I don't want to fool with. I have young kids and would be very worried about the falling over the side while not watching. Also when a hurricane comes you have to move the houseboat to safety. Just too much involved with this. With a camp you can insure it, if it blows away, floats away file claim put a new one there since you own the land. Also slip rentals in Venice marina have gotten to be highway robbery.
THe condos aren't a bad idea but no land and a few other negatives. I am happy to be where we are...

We did the Cocodrie shuffle for many years and that is one thing i do not miss. Every time a storm even remotely got close it was a 10 hour ordeal to break everything loose and tow it up to Houma. Not to mention you need to drydock and inspect/clean/paint the bottom every few years. With the family owning a shipyard it wasn't a big deal for us but without those resources at your disposal it would be a hassle not to mention costly.
