COMMENT: Finally we got a break on the weather. It was just like predicted. Calm seas, light winds, and no rain. Everything was great except not very many fish. The mackerel were everywhere. A shrimp boat went by when we got there and one of our trout spit up about a 9” shrimp. We’re all pumped up to make another trip to Venice.
