NOAA is putting a new closure into effect this afternoon. The Area's that we are fishing South of Venice are mostly still fishable. I have fished most of these open areas in the last few days and I have seen no oil. Check out the map, here.http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2010/20100511_closure.html

Two days of fishing this week so far and I canhonestly say that the tuna are here! We have
caught good numbers of yellows and blacks
both days. Even better than that, the herring
have shown early and have been easy to catch.
We are running west and fishing with no oil
anywhere near us. Let's go fishing!

Just received a text from Devlin with Reel Peace Charters.... He's fishing today, and just texted me to say that the West Delta is completely loaded with schools of herring and pogies. His live well is full, and they are off to find the tuna. He said there is no evidence of oil in the area, and that there is not even a hint of any scent of oil. He'll give an update when he returns this afternoon, but with that much bait, things are looking good!!!! Remember, the closed area only represents about 30% of the fishing grounds that our Venice captains fish, and most of the rigs they fish during this time of year - such as Thunder Horse, Devils Tower, Mars, Lena, Ursa and Cognac - are OUTSIDE of the no-fishing zone. So, let's go fishing!!!May 03, 2010

Business as usual!As most of you know, the fishing closeur is only
from south pass extending East. This leans
greater than two thirds of the Venice area
uneffected. The charter boats are all still
opperating. We will be fishing tomorrow and will
have a fishing report for you guys.

Spring has sprung!The tuna have begun their transition and the
warm weather fish are starting to show. Along
with that, the weather has started to fall into
traditional spring patterns. By that, I mean that
the forecast are never quite right. Friday was
supposed to be pretty nice. It was not. We did
not make it far on Friday before turning around.
Saturdy was supposed to be rough but we gave
it a shot anyway and that paid off big for us. I
had a short crew because after Friday, a few of
the guys prefered to stay on shore but the ones
that were brave got on some great fish. We
started out jigging and were steadily putting
blackfin and skipjack in the boat. I started to
chum with the skippies and the yellows started
to respond as well. Before it got too rough, we
had five yellowfin and a pile of blackfin in the
boat. While we were doing this, we saw a big
blue marlin working a school of skipjack. Spring
has sprung.
