Venice, LA Tripletail Charters
Where is Venice, Louisiana?
You might read other towns calling themselves the fishing capital of the world, but I’ll put Venice up against any of them. Located at the very end of Louisiana Hwy 23, Venice sts on the tip of Louisiana, roughly 90 minutes south of New Orleans.
There’s just one road in and one road out. It ends at the 2 major marina’s in Venice:
Cypress Cove Marina and Venice Marina
Our operation fishes out of Venice Marina. It’s a great marina run by people who love fishing. There’s a nice dock, a convenience store, restaurant and a well-stocked bar complete with friendly servers.
Venice Marina also has over 100 first-class cabins you can rent for the night at a super-reasonable rate. We love picking clients up right from their cabin since it’s so easy.

The Mississippi River Delta
The mighty Mississippi is the reason we have such great fishing in Venice. It’s also the reason why charter captains like us exist.
The river splits off a few miles past Venice at what the locals call Head of Passes. It also gets VERY shallow in different parts of the river and bayous which split off from the river, making it incredibly treacherous to navigate unless you were there recently.
Throughout the year, the river rises and falls as snow or rains make their way downriver from the midwest where it mixes with the saltwater in the Gulf of Mexico. The changing river levels and salinity make knowing where to fish on a daily basis challenging at best.
Also, the wind plays a huge factor in our fishery. The wind shifts around from all directions in Venice and impacts where you can fish on a given day. The good news though is that no matter which way the wind is blowing in Venice, most guides have a few good holes they can work on the leeward side of a wind.

What Do I Need To Bring?
You don’t need much. A Louisiana fishing license is required for everyone over 16. If you’re from out of town, you can purchase a non-resident license for a small fee.
All licenses must be purchased through Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries. Your guide cannot give you a fishing license.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, your favorite drinks, a sandwich or snacks and some sunscreen. Anything you’d need for a day on the water.
Otherwise, we supply the rest including poles, tackle, live bait, market bait and ice.
Also remember to bring your phone because you’ll definitely want to take pictures or a video fishing the redfish of a lifetime.
