We booked two days and the weather was perfect for both days. Captain Scott led us to the snappers! Day 1 was fast fishing for Red Snappers so we were able to spend some time catching Vermilions also. Near nonstop action. Day 2 we also had great Red Snapper fishing, but the sharks were more active and stole our fish and rigs several times so we were more on the move on Day 2 trying to keep away from the sharks. We had a great time thanks to Captain Scott’s knowledge and experience!
Thanks for a great time fishing with you and your sons. it was a pleasure having yall aboard and sharing memories together. you have a couple good young men as your sons!! Thanks for the great review. Tight lines until next time!!
20/10 recommendation for Louisiana lagniappe charters captain Scott Pelas we have booked trips with him the pass two years and he has yet to disappoint us great all around guy also last year was the first time we meet and we have talked through the year and became friends. So we are already waiting on nexts years trip with him. so if you are looking for a guided trip rather it inshore or snapper fishing I promise you will not find another captain thats want you to caught fish as much as you do your self. thanks again for another great trip of fishing and your great hospitality as a person.
I've fished with guides in Alaska, Minnesota, Missouri, Mexico, Jamaica, Bahamas, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Australia, and Scott is probably the best guide I've ever had. Us three middle-age guys had a fantastic two day trip in the marsh and caught redfish limits both days along with several throwbacks on both ends of the slot. Scott knows how long to stay put and when to move, and he had us consistently on fish all day long. His boat is roomy, clean, and comfortable and his gear is high quality and well maintained. Scott is happy to give as much support as you need, or let you do your thing. And he's a heck of a nice guy. If we go back to the Venice area, we'll absolutely be calling on Scott.
thanks for the review Zac. it was a pleasure to fish with you guys amd many laughs. hope to fish w yall again. tight lines!!
We had a group of five down to Venice for our first time. Captain Scott was a great captain who helped us land our limit of snapper and made our weekend trip to Venice perfect. He was accomodating, professional, and great for the experienced and inexperienced fisherman in our group. We all had a great time, trusted Scott’s judgement, and he nailed it. He provided everything we needed to make the most of it!
thanks for the great review Brendan. it was a pleasure to fish with your group and celebrate your dads retirement!! great group of guys! hope to see yall again to get another couple boxes of filets to bring to the northeast!! tight lines!!
We went out RedSnapper fishing and after we had our limit witch was probably 30 min we came back and caught our limit of red fish that took longer but the captain (Scott) was doing his best to put us on fish. He knew his equipment and the fish we were after. Super good guy we really enjoyed our day and look forward to next year. I've fished with other captain but this was the best
thank you sir for a great review. really enjoyed fishing with your group!! look forward to fishing w yall again. tight lines!!!
