Captain Chad Pique is native to South Louisiana, where he grew up hunting and fishing. Chad became a deckhand in 2008 and it did not take him long to become one of the best guides in Venice. Chad enjoys the competitiveness that comes along with being a captain in Venice. Capt Chad has a passion for Tuna fishing and loves to share his passion with his customers by putting them on fish. Part of the thrill is that every day on the water is totally different and you never know what each day will bring. One of his most memorable days was catching three Yellowfin Tuna over 200 lbs in one day. Chad does his best every day to do for his customers what he would want done for him and he strives to make the right decisions for his customers everyday. Being an offshore captain isn't an easy job, but he loves doing it day in and day out. Come join us for a day on the water and see what Venice has to offer!

    The teamwork and ethic behind captain chad and his mate james, id say were unmatched. These guys kept us hooked up the entire time between mahi and tuna while other boats were eyeing us down ! great attitude and the environment was so easy going. definitely will be picking this guy every year !

    Capt Pique and Zach gave us an experience we will never forget. Great environment and knew what they were doing. put us on Tuna. got a couple good keepers to start and then a Monster 195 lb Tuna. Our 10 hr trip turned into 12 becuase us fighting the Monster for 3 hrs. They never batted an eye. They actually apologized for running out of time for the Snapper we planned to hit. Trip of a lifetime. Thanks!!

What's biting with Southern Pro Charters in Venice

This is a great time of year to go after Cobia, which can be caught around the rigs in shallow water. Weighing in anything from 15 to 60 pounds, this is one of the most exciting fish to catch nearshore.
