We'll be chasing after some real beauties - Redfish, Red Snapper, and Tripletail are all on the menu. And the best part? You don't have to lift a finger except to reel 'em in. We've got all the gear, know-how, and even fish cleaning covered. It's time to experience why Venice, LA is a fisherman's paradise.
Picture this: You're cruising along the stunning Louisiana coastline, rod in hand, salt spray in your face. That's what you're in for with our 6 to 8 hour charter. We kick off early, making the most of those prime morning hours when the fish are hungry and active. Our seasoned crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll be hitting all the honey holes where the big ones like to hang out. Whether it's working the oyster beds for Redfish or heading a bit further out for some Red Snapper action, we've got you covered. And don't worry about bringing anything but your excitement - we provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you'll need. By the time we head back to the dock, you'll have a cooler full of fish and a head full of memories. And the cherry on top? We'll clean and fillet your catch, so it's ready for the dinner table.
When it comes to fishing techniques, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve. For Redfish, we might be sight casting in the shallows or working the edges of the marsh with popping corks. If we're after Red Snapper, we'll likely be dropping lines near structure or over reefs. And for those elusive Tripletail? We'll be scanning the surface near floating debris or buoys where they love to hang out. We use a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. Our boat's equipped with top-notch electronics to help us locate the fish, and we've got plenty of space for you to cast comfortably. Remember, fishing's not just about catching - it's about the whole experience. So kick back, enjoy the ride, and soak in the beauty of the Venice waterways. Who knows, you might even spot some wildlife like pelicans diving for their own catch or dolphins playing in our wake.
Let me tell you, there's a reason our charter's become a customer favorite in Venice. It's not just about the fish - though trust me, there's plenty of those. It's about the whole package. Our crew's got years of experience under their belts, and they're not just skilled anglers, they're great company too. They'll have you laughing, learning, and loving every minute on the water. We keep our groups small - just 2 guests max - so you get plenty of one-on-one attention and more chances to land the big one. And let's not forget the scenery. The Louisiana coast is something special, with its maze of bayous, marshes, and open water. It's the kind of place that gets under your skin and keeps you coming back for more. Whether you're a local looking for a weekend escape or a visitor wanting to experience some of the best fishing the Gulf has to offer, this trip delivers.
Redfish: Also known as Red Drum, these copper-colored beauties are a Venice staple. They're hard fighters that'll test your skills and make your reel sing. Redfish hang out in the marshes and along the coast year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up for their spawning run. They can grow up to 40 inches and weigh over 50 pounds, though most of what we catch are in the 5-15 pound range. Redfish are known for their distinctive black spot near the tail, and they're absolute dynamite on the dinner plate.
Red Snapper: These guys are the crown jewels of Gulf fishing. With their bright red color and big, tasty fillets, Red Snapper are always a crowd-pleaser. We typically find them hanging around reefs, wrecks, and other structure in deeper water. The season for Red Snapper is limited, but when it's on, the action can be fast and furious. They're strong fighters that like to head for cover when hooked, so be ready for a workout. Red Snapper can grow up to 40 pounds, but most of what we catch are in the 5-15 pound range.
Tripletail: Now here's a fish with character. Tripletail are odd-looking critters that like to float near the surface, often mimicking floating debris. Don't let their lazy appearance fool you though - once hooked, they put up a spirited fight. We usually find them around buoys, channel markers, or floating mats of grass. Tripletail are most common in the warmer months, from late spring through fall. They're not the biggest fish in the sea - most are between 5-15 pounds - but pound for pound, they're some of the best eating fish you'll ever taste.
Alright, let's wrap this up. Our 6 to 8 hour Venice fishing charter is more than just a fishing trip - it's a full-on Louisiana experience.

Red snapper are the prize of the Gulf. These ruby-red fish typically run 5-15 pounds nearshore, but the big ones offshore can top 30. You'll find them around reefs and wrecks in 60-300 feet of water. Late spring through fall is prime time. Snapper fishing's all about getting your bait down deep - we use heavy weights and strong tackle. Once you hook one, it's a tug-of-war to keep them from diving back to structure. The fight's worth it though - red snapper are some of the best-eating fish out there. Flaky white meat with a sweet, nutty flavor. Here's a local secret: try using live pinfish or pigfish for bait. The bigger snapper can't resist 'em.
Redfish are a staple around here, and for good reason. These bronze beauties love shallow water - you'll often see their tails sticking up as they root around for food. Most are in the 5-15 pound range, but they can get much bigger offshore. Look for them year-round in bays, around oyster reefs, and near grass flats in 1-4 feet of water. They're not picky eaters, which makes them fun to target. Redfish put up a stubborn fight, especially in shallow water. The meat's mild and flaky - perfect for blackening. Pro tip: on calm days, cruise the flats and look for their distinctive V-shaped wakes. Toss a gold spoon or live shrimp in front of them and hang on.
Tripletail are real oddballs, but they're a blast to catch. These funky-looking fish hang out near the surface, often mimicking floating debris. Most run 2-13 pounds, but they can get up to 40. We find 'em year-round, but summer's prime time when they spawn. Look for weed lines or structure in 1-20 feet of water. Tripletail put up a scrappy fight for their size and taste great too - firm, white meat similar to snapper. The trick is to spot 'em first, then make a stealthy cast. Use live shrimp or small crabs on a light setup. Once hooked, be ready for some acrobatics. Just watch those razor-sharp gill plates when you're handling one.
