Boothville-Venice

Southern Access Charters offers some of the best inshore fishing trips on the fascinating waters of Venice, Louisiana. Here, the Mississippi River spills out into the Gulf of Mexico, producing diverse and twisting bayous, ponds and rivers that are home to a large number of exciting fish species, and you’ll have the chance to explore it all.

Captain Scott Pelas will showcase the diverse fisheries the area is so blessed with. He will get you on Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, and more in this shallow water wonderland. When the weather permits, you can even bounce out to an oil rig to pick up some Red, Mangrove, and Vermilion Snappers.

You will be spending the day aboard a 26’ Avenger bay boat with room aboard for up to 5 guests. Newly-built in 2016, the vessel cruises at a staggering 60 knots to get you to the most remote fishing spots where the biggest fish lurk. Captain Allen operates a fleet of these vessels and is easily able to accommodate large groups.

You will be guided in a comfortable and dry 24’ Sea Fox bay boat, powered by a 250 HP 4-stroke Yamaha outboard engine. Sneaking up on the local beasts is easy as pie, thanks to the Power Pole and Xi5 Wireless trolling motor. They help position the boat so everyone has plenty of room to cast. Your live bait will stay spry and appetizing long after being caught, thanks to the onboard live bait tank.
