Offshore blue water fishing in Venice Louisiana will be second to none this summer. Have you been considering a fishing trip in the United States or close ports out of the United States??? If so; STOP and think of Venice Louisiana.

Venice Louisiana is currently experiencing the absolute best offshore blue water fishing it has ever seen. I'm talking about limits of Yellow fin Tuna before Noon. I'm talking about Blue Marlin in the 700LB range for several of the charter captains. This rant is not about www.CajunOdysea.com this rant is about Venice Louisiana. Pick your favorite charter captain and get a trip on the books now. Every charter captain and his entire fleet are doing well with big catches of trophy fish and huge assortments of freezer fish.

Consider a day of inshore fishing for Redfish and Speckled Trout then a day offshore blue water fishing. When you fish the offshore blue waters of Venice you can expect Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi-Mahi, limits of Red-Snapper and Amberjack as well as the occasional Blue Marlin, White Marlin or Sailfish. Day trips depart from Venice Marina @ 6AM and return about 6PM. And remember Venice Louisiana is only 70 miles south of the "Big Easy"!!! New Orleans, also know as the "Crescent City" is a great place to bring the family then come on down for a fishing adventure in Venice, which is also know as "Tuna Town".

Summer 2011 will, without a doubt, be a year to remember in Venice. Because of the amount of baitfish just offshore in the warm blue water our Yellow Fin Tuna are about 10-15 LBS larger than this time in past years. The abundance of bait fish, to include Ballyhoo, which has never been this abundant, is bringing more fish than we ever imagined. Additionally, with this bait, come heavier fish, more fish and some simply stupid aggressive fish.

My recommendation is to Google words like: Deep Sea Fishing Venice Louisiana, Offshore Charter Fishing Venice Louisiana, Tuna Fishing Louisiana. Once you have done this check out the charter sites and choose your favorite charter company. You will be impressed if you read their reports sections and check out the photos.

Venice Louisiana has a charter fleet that is fast, well equipped and up to par like never before. Most all of the boats in Venice sport brand spanking new Yamaha engines, are 33+ feet in length and cruise about 45MPH Center console boats get you to the fish and get you back home safe, comfortable and FAAAASSSSSTTTTT. You can expect boats from 32' to 36' with twin or triple Yamaha engines. Boats that sport names like Contender, Yellowfin, Twin-Vee, and several like my Freeman.. www.Freemanboatworks.com

So, RUN don't WALK to get in line for the incredible Venice Tuna Fishing. I promise, if you wait to book your offshore blue water trip you *will NOT* get your choice dates, matter of a fact you may not get in line at all.

Offshore Blue Water Louisiana fishing has been incredible since the day 2011 rolled in. I don't see Venice Louisiana fishing getting anything except better and better.Heck, Venice fishing has been incredible in the months that it should have only been goodIf what we have been experiencing in Venice during the season that is supposed to be "GOOD" .OMG, what is coming for the summer months.??

Good Luck-

Bio: Captain: I don't recall if it was a dream or maybe life has just taken its natural course. At any rate, there is never a night I go to sleep without thinking about huge Tuna Crashing Kite Baits or thoughts of ways to fool the largest of Pelagic Fish…..Funny isn't it? I have more than one business; I've been successful as a father, businessman and husband as well as a son and friend. BUT what I think about at night is OFFSHORE Fishing Experiences!! My affliction, grit and tenacity are YOUR recipe for the Offshore Blue Water Experience of a lifetime. I continue to think one day I will wake up and being "Cock of the Dock" will not be my passion….Allowing other Captains to one up me won't hurt so bad…..IT DOESN'T HAPPEN, this obsession will not go away! I have been fortunate to fish on a professional level over 20 years now. I have the persistence of woodpecker (could you imagine) the energy of a Lion and the type personality that will not be defeated. Some call me Energetic. I don't see myself as extraordinary but my un-canning ability to provide fun on the water has been my pleasure since I was only a child……. I run my boat as I have run my business. I'm responsible, structured and systematic. Not overly to become Anal, but enough to produce the same outcome over and over with a degree of predictability. Look, I know you are wondering what the Heck, who cares; All I want is a fish catching day in the Fertile Pelagic Rich Waters of Venice Louisiana…. I'm running out of time to explain what this means to YOU!!! I Promise to run a professionally maintained fishing boat…I Promise to have the BEST Tackle on the Planet. I Promise to have fresh equipment, sharp hooks and cutting edge techniques. I Promise to pay attention to the details in order for the day to fall into place. NO leaving the dock half cocked, NO use of half ass equipment….NO Way!!!! We leave every single day prepared for the biggest and best day ever….
