    Red Snapper 5 aboard 148 pounds of Snapper Caught

    Full Day Trip – Inshore • 5 adults

    Captain Jason knows his stuff, called the day before to recommend we switch up our inshore trip for a nearshore Snapper trip and it was the right call for sure. Caught our limit of snapper quick then went inshore for a bit to learn why we made rhe change. The inshore bite just wasnt really happening. Thanks to Jason we had a great day anyway.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper

    Biggest Red's I've ever seen.

    Full Day Trip – Inshore

    Booked two full days inshore fishing around the mouth of the Mississippi in Venice with Captain Jason. He got us onto fish immediately. We limited out on slot reds the first day, and landed the biggest red's I've ever to seen on the second day. We flew home fully satisfied with a cooler full of fish, and with an amazing experience and photos.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

What's biting with Fish Louisiana 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.
