We have spent all summer telling you about tripletail, the sleeper of the Venice passes. On July 1 an angler boated a potential state No. 4 out here on live shrimp and a cork. Plus how the five-fish snapper weekend went, and the tide that just flipped back on.

The high river built the grass. The grass built the reds.
Two Venice captains explain why the marsh is loaded right now, plus flat seas every day this weekend and a Full Moon tide stacking up behind it. After a month of wind, there's finally nothing to wait on.
