FISHING VENICE

Venice sits at the very end of the road at the mouth of the Mississippi, and it is arguably the best big-fish jumping-off point in the Lower 48 — the river's nutrients feed a marsh that produces bull redfish in staggering numbers, while the deep water and the floating oil rigs just offshore hold yellowfin tuna, dolphin and cobia within an hour's run. Few fisheries pair a world-class inshore redfish marsh with genuine bluewater tuna this close together. The trout fishing through the passes and the dead-end canals is excellent too.
