| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Sorry bandwidth has been scarce since Hurricaine Katrina wrecked the best summer fishing we have had in years..also re-arranged alot of other things too..I have been making my reports on my home website since we returned to fishing out of Cocodrie sinde Sept 10th - http://www.paradise-outfitters.com/fishingreport.htm'..dialup takes too long to load pictures so I have posted them all in my fishing reports section on our website..I havent been to Venice since the storm and since we got everything out I have no reason to go back..everyone says it would choke me up anyway so I will saty away for the next few weeks..last thing I said as we loaded up the last boat was 'put everything on the back deck because the dock might not be here when we return..' Unfortunately I was right..The folks at Venice Marina have begun to clear the marina of sunken vessels and debris and they will be working toward setting up a temporary offcie when the power returns in a few weeks.. I am told they expect to have ice, bait and fuel by the end of Decemeber and plan to have a functional marina for the chartboats so that we can get back to earning a decent living..We were every lucky and prepared well and others did not..3 days before impact we moved the boats to Madisonville 5 hours boat ride north and didnt even have so much as a ripped curtain..the Cabo and Albemalre have been tied up ever since but I moved the 36 ft Twin Vee catamaran to Cocodire 2 weeks after the strom where we have fished for tuna and bottom fish with much success since....Unfortunately due to a mix up Thursday's trip is the last run of the season for red snapper and grouper as they close tonight at midnight..made the run to the happy hunting grounds and put a working on the bottom fish..final tally was 4 scamps, 3 aj's and 24 full grown red snapper..3 largest fish were 22 pounds and none under 8 pounds..my lone lady angler Rosalyn Stone bagged a 29 pound scamp for big fish honors, while Will Drost, Camp Matens, Joey Stone and Tom Harmon, Sr. each had a snapper over 20 pounds and plenty others nearly breaking the twenty mark..limit came without much effort between 4 stops..ride home was interesting and we almost made it before 4:30 but hit one bad bump that slowed us down until after dark..it still amazes me how it cant be blowing at the dock but is howling offshore..Still the last 4 trips have yeilded limits of huge snapper and scattered grouper..nice ones though..pics below..We will be moving back east to Venice in December where we have a flating base of operation set up to house and feed our guests through March. It is the Southern Way whcih sleeps 12 guests and 4 crew - it usually runs island wade fishing trips to the Chandeluer chain out of Mississippi but we will use it since there are no facilities in Venice..we will be packaging, all inclusive tuna and wahoo trips out of Venice Marina with all meals and one night's stay for 340-365$ per person. We will be able to accomodate 12 guests per night on the Southern Way and have our 3 fishing boats in operation that will accomodate up to 18 people per day in up to 3 groups of 6..We may also run duck hunts for those that want make a hunt the night before or morning after..You can see the boat at our website in the NEW VENICE BASE fishing report..Paradise Outfitters 504-451-7579
