| Was planning on a trip down to Venice around the middle of February. Was wonder what the tuna, wahoo, swordfish, etc.. situation is around that time. Is bait plentiful enough during that time or should I stock up before I go? Haven't been down there yet, but it looks like it might happen this time.

| Depending on what the weather is doing the tuna and whaoo should be going off... I fished the lumps the past three years in mid february and will be there again the 15th 16th and 17th. We always come home with plenty of fish...

| That is actually the weekend I was planning on being down there. What can I count in the way of live bait (bonita, hard tails, menhaden, etc)?

Plenty of tuna yearround Venice in February. Depending on the weather/time of the month, they have moved off of the lump and back onto the drillships and floaters. PM Capt. Eddie for the latest on what the Venice tuna are doing. Last trip I decked for him towards the end of February last year, we actually saw a boat hooked up to a little ol' rat blue...in February!! It was wild.

| I fish with Captain Gary Bryant on the Redeye and we usually chunk pogies, menhaden, and bonita. Take the advice of The Blue Hoo and PM Capt. Eddie. He is one of the pros and could give you better advice...

Your best bet is to try and find some mullet. Swordfishing is off b/c weather can jump on you this time of year, not many staying out over night. There are always tuna somewhere around there, the Lump should still be good but thats no guarantee.
I'd rather die while I'm living then live while I'm dead

| It would be really interesting to see if we could get a few crews of six together for a road trip to Venice sometime in the next month or two. I'll bet there are a lot of guys who would love to get a six-pack together.
