Check out SOUTHERN WAY CHARTERS VENICE SPORTMANS LODGE on internet.
We had an awesome experience staying there two nights and fishing with Captain Will Wall. Our trip was a couple of years ago in June...... Ran offshore for BFT's and YFTs. Fishing inshore for BIG red snapper.
Ask for Captain Dan at the lodge who at the time was our host at the lodge. Awesome home cooked meals and a nicely appointed bar.
Great place and fishing is awesome. The captains down there do not fool around they are out there to catch fish to come back to Venice and claim bragging rights. It is a serious competition down there to be the best.

I haven't been but have also heard great things about the area. I hear the Tuna fishery down there is 2nd to none.

If you can afford it, I would do a half day redfish, 1 day tuna and 1 day bottom/mixed bag. Redfishing is great in the area and the rigs are great for 4-8ln mangrove snapper and cobia as well as red snapper.

I would consider fishing for redfish MY best fishing trip ever. I caught redfish up to 48 inches. We used Capt. Mike Frenette and stayed at this house which is located in Venice harbor. During our trip, Mike had a local person stop by each night and prepare a fresh fish meal. It was cajun eating to the nth degree.

Our trip was planned for mid-April. We fished the Gulf outside of Venice using a popping cork and a trailing jig. Great fun!!
