Wow - that sounds like heaven and I too heard the trophy Redfishing is off the charts there... A 4 ft Redfish in shallow water must have been a blast.... Those fish have some attitude and good eating too!!

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..........

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