Venice Louisiana Fishing

Venice, Louisiana is the fishing Capitol of the world and has earned that title for a reason. The lower Mississippi River delta is one of the most diverse unique ecosystems that is perfect for red fish and speckled trout.

Captain Orin Lonadier fishes in a 26 foot center console Avenger that he keeps clean and organized for a comfortable trip. Using top of the line gear, his knowledge of the area and where the fish will be greatly increase your chances for an unforgettable outdoor experience.

Sea to Sky Outfitters offers you the best in Louisiana fishing charters. The trip includes a USCG licensed captain, fuel for the boat, rods, reels, tackle, and fish cleaning. You are more than welcome to bring your own rods and reels, but it is not required. Those are provided.

We ask if the customer brings sunscreen, snacks, and drinks. Water will be aboard if none were brought.

Lodging and food is up to the fishers. There are hotels and cabin rentals in the area to stay in. We recommend The Light House Lodge & Villas. They are clean and affordable. Reservations are up to y’all to make. (See more information on our Preparations page.)

Redfishing in Louisiana

Being one of the most exciting fish to fight, in my opinion, the red fish is just plain fun. The sound of drag stripping and a doubled over rod is a common sight every single day on my boat!

There are many ways to catch redfish. Depending on the conditions, a few of the ways we do it include: top water lures, plastics under a popping cork, plastics without a popping cork, dead bait under a popping cork, or dead bait on the bottom. Any way you go, it’s one of the best experiences you’ll have in gulf coast fishing.

Speckled Trout Fishing

Saltwater trout fishing is a thrill for anyone. You’ll also hear these speckled trout called “spotted sea trout”, and they’re a little more of a challenge than the red fish. 

When you do get on the trout though, it is fast paced. It’s nothing to have every person in the boat hooked up one after another, every single cast. With a liberal limit being 25 trout a person, and with a minimal size of 12 inches, speckled trout fishing gives us a great opportunity to fill the ice chests!
