Venice area fishing report and tarpon tourney update
Local fishing roundups from Port Hole to North Jetty note anglers like Dale Head and George Wooster reporting snook, redfish, and mackerel. Repairs at the North Jetty seawalls aim to curb washouts while boaters at Pelican Cove Marina log tarpon, barracuda, amberjacks, and kingfish. The second Venice Tarpon Tourney nears June 25 with standings changes and rules highlight contest activity.

Ruling disqualifies record shark catch at Pelican Cove
A hammerhead weighing 703 pounds would have tied a world record but shooting the shark disqualified it. The long fish measured 12 feet 8 inches with a 34 inch hammer and 36 inch dorsal fin. Local tarpon tourney leaders are listed by divisions and weeks, including Jim Cora and Richard Serino among top fish weights.
