Subject: Venice, LA—Clark Group: First Day Fishing Report for Bull Redfish
a fishin’ expeditions report
The Bulls are back in town and on the beaches of South Pass!
Tom Gantt, Jim Quinn, and I arrived for our latest trip to Venice, LA on Monday with a fair amount of trepidation. Reports of a high Mississippi River, along with a weather forecast calling for strong winds, rain, and a passing cold front had us a bit uptight to say the least. Adding to these potential problems was fog that met us at the launch ramp. Captain Keith was very confident however, and knew precisely where he wanted to start. A run of about an hour took us to that spot where we were met with pretty green water and a few rollers, but no bites. 
Not to be deterred, Captain Keith then made one move down the beach and BINGO, we were into the Redfish…the bull reds that is! Everybody got bit, but Jim showed us what was to be the bait of the day—a black and chartreuse H & H Cocahoe Minnow on a jig head. He nailed a 30 pounder and then one that went 36 pounds. Tom and I kept pace and around noon,then I hooked up with the beautiful 40 pound Redfish shown in the photo. If I look like I’m struggling to hold it up, it’s because I was!!! With the weather deteriorating, we called it a day about 2 PM and headed back after boating some 25 redfish, with most weighing 20 to 30 pounds.
All the very best,
Gary Clark
Well friends, the Giant Bull Reds of South Pass are on the beaches and this is my favorite time of year to hunt them. I’m headin’ down with a group May 30. Season is fully in gear…several groups are already booked so spaces are limited. Pick some dates and give me a call. I’ll do my best to get you hooked up with the best in Bull Redfish action!
