I went to Venice 2 weeks ago for the first time and absolutely hammered the bass. I stumbled on a spot that was loaded. I never thought bass fishing could be that good. Well this weekend was unbelievable! I left Wednesday night and came home today and caught over 200 bass in 3 days!!! I didn't burn a 1/2 a tank of gas in 3 days!! Venice is an amazing place. My wife even caught them! She also caught a 27 pound catfish!!
