Captain
Joe Ventrello

Member since May 2024 St. Bernard, United States
Background
Capt. Joe Ventrello is your guide to an unforgettable fishing adventure in the waters of St. Bernard, Louisiana. Keep your eyes peeled for Mangrove Snapper, Scamp Grouper as you try your hand at bottom fishing, spinning, jigging, and more. The only way to learn is to join them on the water.
Techniques
Most of the year the preferred method to catch almost every inshore species we target is live shrimp under a popping cork. On occasion we use artificial if the bite is hot and heavy.
