Delivered a couple of oil rig noats theu that region years back 70's I believe , outstanding fishery offshore inshore U name it there used to be a big fishing club near this town , private mostly concerned with offshore angling ! Had the chance to run in vicinity of De Soto canyon I believe with a member who was a friend of a friend back home .
No marlin that trip just about everty thing else ! Amazing fishery !

I've been living here for a year..........fishing is unbelievable......Not taking charters at this time, but have a boat in Grand Isle.

No place else in the US comes remotely close........not even Florida.

You will be here during the peak of "lump season" so all of the best boats will be booked, but you really can't go wrong with anyone in Venice.

Tuna and lots of wahoo will be available with a very short run at that time of year. It's not a great time of year for bottom fishing due to snapper closure in federal waters.

You can wear yourself out catching bull reds all day long year around.

If you are interested in a side trip to Grand Isle I can host you for a trip to the close rigs where you can beat on all sorts of fish..........

Thank you all for the advice and help... Gonna find out Monday if the job passed my vacation request. Fingers crossed

J, it's a long haul but what are the prospects if someone towed their own boat there?
