If you're ready to try fishing in Venice, look no further than Southern Fishing Co.. With Captain Trentyn at the helm, you're in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Swordfish, Red Snapper, Cobia, and more can be found in these waters if you cast your line at the right time of year.

Trips with Southern Fishing Co. are kid-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!

Your boat for the day is a 35' Sea Hunter center console with space for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Capt. Trentyn will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, it will be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Full Day Trip – Offshore on June 22, 20266 adults

Awesome experience with a great crew. Trent and his deckhand made the whole experience fun and fruitful. We were able to fish many different species with various different methods and ended up with a huge overall haul of trophy fish. We will book with them again in the future for sure. If you don't know who to choose for your trip, choose these guys!

Trentyn and his mate Fee got us on the fish. Great boat and equipment, everything we needed for a memorable trip and we left with our coolers full of our limit of beautiful filets. We plan of booking him next trip to Venice.
