Local anglers report diverse catches and a Lake Okeechobee tournament
A Venice area fishing note describes anglers at the north jetty catching sheepshead, drum, redfish, and trout with many reports of activity. Notable observations include James Tomes's 4 pound drum and multiple 2 to 4 pound sheepshead, plus a 9 pound 4 ounce lunker at the Lake Okeechobee tournament where 44 anglers weighed 341 pounds.
