Spend the day with Savage Seas and let them show you what makes the fishing in Venice so memorable!

These waters are known for Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Sheepshead, Spotted Seatrout, Gag Grouper, Red Grouper, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream. On these trips, it’s common to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You'll be casting lines from a 2020 26' Tidewater that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without.
Capt. Devan has rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

Some essentials to bring are sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Water and ice will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Savage Seas is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

Fishing with Devan
4 Hour Trip on April 11, 2025

I had an amazing experience fishing with Devan Skinner! From the moment we got on the water, it was clear he knows his stuff—friendly, professional, and super knowledgeable about where to find the fish. He made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time, whether we were seasoned anglers or first-timers. Caught some great fish and made even better memories. Highly recommend booking a trip with Devan—you won’t be disappointed!
