Southern Addiction Outfitters II
Southern Addiction Outfitters II
Big news - we’ve added another full-time boat to the Southern Addiction Outfitters crew, and this page is all about it! We’ve spent years fishing the legendary waters of Venice, Louisiana, and we’re excited to keep making memories with even more guests. Don’t just take our word for it, check out the awesome reviews on our main Southern Addiction Outfitters page!
Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Redfish, Black Drum, Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Tripletail, Flounder, Red Snapper, Spotted Seatrout, and whatever else is biting. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 23' Triton bay boat that holds up to 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are included, as well as lures.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
It's recommended to bring sunscreen (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Southern Addiction Outfitters II!

6 Hour Trip – Inshore
Family day trip
Wanted to take my family on their first Louisiana marsh trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than a trip to Venice with Southern Addiction Outfitters. Michael had a well maintained boat, great boat handling skills and quality fishing gear. I wanted to chase a quantity of fish so the kids could stay busy. 2-3 hook up at a time staying in schools of 15”-17” rat reds while picking up some slots sure made for a fun day. Threw back 3 times as many fish as we kept. Still ended up with a limit of reds, some trout, flounder, black drum, and bass. Plus one heck of a fight on a 42” bull red. Looking forward to the next go around.

Great Day!
We had an incredible redfishing trip, the action was nonstop from start to finish. Captain Mike put us right on the fish, and we caught our limits early. The rest of the day was spent catching and releasing some beautiful bull reds that gave us an unforgettable fight. To top it all off, we landed two nice triple tail, which was the cherry on top of a perfect trip.

Great Trip
We had an absolutely incredible day on the water with Capt. Mike! From the moment we stepped on the boat, he made us feel right at home. His knowledge of the area and passion for fishing really showed, he knew exactly where to go, and it wasn’t long before we were hooked up with some beautiful redfish.
