Rigging Up for Success

Expect to do some live bait fishing with shrimp or mullet, as well as tossing artificial lures like soft plastics and topwater plugs. We might do some sight fishing in the shallows for tailing redfish, or drop lines near structure for snapper and drum. Our captains are pros at reading the water and adjusting techniques on the fly to maximize your chances of a banner day.

Top Catches This Season

Let's talk about what's been biting lately. Redfish have been on fire, with many anglers landing bulls in the 20-30 pound range. The speckled trout bite has been consistent, especially around the oyster reefs. We've also been seeing some monster black drum, with a few lucky anglers pulling in 40+ pounders. And don't even get me started on the tripletail - these oddball fish have been showing up more and more, providing some seriously fun fights on light tackle.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: Also known as red drum, these copper-colored beauties are the crown jewels of inshore fishing. They're known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot on their tail. In Venice, we catch them year-round, but fall is prime time when they school up in big numbers. Redfish love to hang around structure and will eagerly hit both live bait and artificial lures.

Black Drum: The redfish's cousin, black drum, are bulldogs of the inshore world. They can grow to massive sizes, with some topping 50 pounds. These bottom-feeders are most active in the cooler months and are suckers for crabs and shrimp. When you hook into a big one, hold on tight - they're known for their stubborn fights.

Sea Trout: Also called speckled trout, these spotted predators are a staple of inshore fishing. They're known for their delicate mouth and lightning-fast strikes. Sea trout are most active in the spring and fall, often found around grass flats and oyster bars. There's nothing quite like the excitement of a topwater trout bite at dawn.

Tripletail: One of the quirkiest fish you'll encounter, tripletail are becoming increasingly popular targets. They have a habit of floating near the surface, mimicking floating debris. Spring through fall is the best time to target them. Don't let their odd appearance fool you - they put up a great fight and are excellent table fare.

Red Snapper: While typically considered an offshore species, we often encounter red snapper on our inshore trips, especially near deeper structures. These vibrant red fish are prized for their firm, white flesh and strong fights. They're most abundant during the summer months, but regulations can be strict, so always check the current rules.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Venice, LA isn't called the "Fishing Capital of the World" for nothing. Our inshore waters are teeming with fish year-round, thanks to the nutrient-rich outflow of the Mississippi River.

One day you might be sight casting to tailing reds in gin-clear water, the next you could be battling a 30-pound black drum in the depths.

Learn more about the species

Black Drum

Black Drum are hefty fighters that'll test your gear. These cousins of the Redfish typically run 5-30 pounds, but can top 90. You'll find them in shallow, brackish waters around oyster beds and mudflats. They love structure, so target pier pilings and creek mouths too. Spring's prime time when they school up to spawn. Black Drum are bottom feeders, so use fresh crab, clams, or shrimp on a weighted rig. Let it sit on the bottom - patience pays off here. When you hook one, hold on tight. These bruisers pull hard and don't give up easy. The smaller ones under 15 pounds make great eating with a mild, sweet flavor. For a local trick, try "walking" a jig slowly along the bottom. The thump-thump often triggers strikes when nothing else works.

Red Snapper

Red Snapper are the crown jewels of our offshore reefs. These crimson beauties usually run 5-15 pounds, but 20-pounders aren't rare. You'll find them holding tight to structure in 60-300 feet of water. They're most active in warmer months, with peak season typically June through August. Red Snapper fight hard, often trying to dive back to their rocky homes. Fresh cut bait or live pinfish on heavy bottom rigs is the way to go. Once you find a school, the action can be non-stop. These fish are prized for their firm, white meat with a sweet, nutty flavor. For a local trick, try a long leader with a small live bait. Sometimes finesse is the key when the big ones get finicky.

Redfish

Redfish are the rock stars of our inshore waters. These copper-colored beauties average 5-15 pounds, but bulls over 40 aren't uncommon. You'll find them tailing in shallow grass flats, cruising oyster bars, or busting bait schools. They love water so skinny their backs are out of it. Look for that telltale black spot near the tail. Redfish put up a stubborn fight, often making powerful runs. They'll eat just about anything, but gold spoons, soft plastics, and live bait all work well. Fall is prime time when big schools move into the shallows. The meat is excellent - firm and mild. For a local trick, try sight-casting to tailing reds in clear water. It's like hunting with a rod and reel. Just remember to lead your target and make a quiet presentation.

Sea Trout

Sea Trout, or Speckled Trout, are a blast to catch in the shallows. These silver beauties usually run 14-24 inches, but can hit 5 pounds or more. Look for them around grass flats, oyster reefs, and drop-offs in 1-6 feet of water. They're most active at dawn and dusk, especially on moving tides. Sea Trout are ambush predators, so work your lures with quick, erratic retrieves. Topwater plugs, soft plastics, and live shrimp all work well. These fish put up a good fight with some acrobatics thrown in. The meat is delicate and flaky - perfect for a fish fry. Here's a local tip: on calm mornings, look for subtle v-wakes on the surface. That's often a trout chasing bait, prime for a well-placed cast.

Tripletail

Tripletail are the oddballs of inshore fishing, but man, are they fun. These quirky fish usually run 2-15 pounds and look like a mix between a grouper and a flounder. You'll spot them floating on their sides near buoys, crab traps, or any floating debris. They're masters of camouflage, so keep your eyes peeled. Summer's the best time to find them. Tripletail are ambush predators with a big appetite. Live shrimp under a popping cork is deadly, but they'll also hit flies and soft plastics. Once hooked, they put up a scrappy fight with some aerial acrobatics. The meat is excellent - firm and sweet, similar to grouper. Here's a local tip: when you spot one, cast well past it and slowly work your bait back. They spook easy, so stealth is key.
