Venice, LA

Venice, Louisiana is a very unique and extraordinary saltwater fishery.  Located at the conclusion of the Mississippi River, nutrients and freshwater from 31 US states meet the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico.  The silt carried down the river and deposited in the Louisiana delta originates from some of the most fertile soils in America, setting the foundation for one of the richest estuaries known to man.  Within this protective sanctuary, species flourish and ultimately bolster an amazing fishery.


As the Mississippi River reaches Venice, Louisiana, it branches into several major passes with hundreds of small bayous and canals leading into coastal bays and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico.  The complexity of this system not only provides some of the finest fish habitats, but also many options for fisherman under a variety of conditions.
