Sorry for the super late report but I have been slammed with work, wife, and kids since we got back.
Been going to Venice for a couple years now and had great success so when asked from some of our locals best about when to go with out hesitation I said OCTOBER!! Well it didn’t take long to iron out the details and pull together an A-Team of locals. With names like Medlock, Merrit, Floyd, Riggs, and Wilcox I knew we would have a blast and put some fish on the dock!
We left out Saturday morning after a few trailer modifications and were on the road pulling the “Simple Interest” a tricked out Freeman 37VH. Riggs spent some time on her getting the rocket launcher installed and the Marsh Tacky outriggers setup for some hardcore trolling. Yes, we were headed to Venice to fish SC style! Venice is the land of live bait and it works like a champ but we wanted to try something different, try it our way!

Set the trap boys, we going to pass through them again!!
Trip was a blast! Strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to go!

Thanks for the post!!! We go down each year and have chartered in the past, however, we are going to pull my Onslow next trip in April. Did you have any inside info on which rigs were holding tuna or did you just pick one and start trolling? Thanks again!
