Venice, LA wahoo and tuna report - 1-1-07

[captscott]

Yet another great trip to start out the new year right..I had a crew from Jensen Beach FL looking for wahoo..and just as you would suspect the first fish in the boat turned out to be a yellowfin tuna..had two bites on the surface today and both were tuna..downrigger really made the difference by pulling the dots up to the surface and into the spread..dots turned out to be wahoos and nice ones from 30-60 pounds. Still we had to work doubly hard for them today..took 3 1/2 hrs to get 8 wahoo and 2 yellowfins, nearly double the time of the last outing..nice to be home before 3pm with a flat out busted crew and full box..way to start out the year..Capt. Darryl Couvillion took a trip for us today with Shawn et al from S Al..they wen to the Lump and chunked finding one big tuna that went through everyone on the boat..estimated at 130-140#..still a bit sloppy today but worth the beating..Paradise Outfitters- 985-845-8006
