Blessings Of A Coastal Fishing Morning At Venice
A Venice column recounts a foggy pre-dawn fishing trip from the North Jetty and South Jetty with multiple anglers reporting snook and tarpon catches. Notable fish include 141-pound tarpon by Cathy Balsinger and 130-pound tarpon by Linda Garlitz, with several 9 to 15 pound snook noted. Local sites cited include A&H Marina Nokomis markings, Pelican Cove Marina standings, and notes on a temporary staff leave at Sonny Sotello’s bait shop.
