Welcome friends,

Happy New Year!  It's fishing season again.  2008 was a fantastic year for fishing in Venice, Louisiana even though we had to endure record high levels on the Mississippi River, relentless winds, a couple of tropical storms and two major hurricanes.  I'm convinced that 2009 will be every bit as productive for catching, if not more productive, as we have had a very mild winter here!

For our valued customers who are interested in getting some quick relief from 'cabin fever', we are offering a 10% discount on any of our services until March 1, 2009.  This offer is not available with those reservations which are arranged via travel agents or outfitters.  Reservations must be made directly with our office.

As always, we appreciate your continued friendship and look forward to many great days together in 2009!  Let's go fishing!

Sincerely,

Capt. Anthony & Julie Randazzo

Fishing

Unlike most fishing destinations in North America, south Louisiana offers superb fishing year round. Nutrient rich estuaries bordering the Mississippi Delta feed the seemingly infinite populations of game fish. Very liberal limits consisting of 5 redfish , 10 flounder, and 25 speckled trout per angler per day exist here. Redfish can be caught literally every month of the year, while speckled trout are most common from March thru December. A couple of flounder are boated each day, however, late summer is prime for larger catches. Trophy speckled trout are common in March, April, May, September, October and November. Bull Reds (those ranging from 12 to 35 pounds, and occasionally larger) are most common from February thru November, but can be encountered just about any month of the year.  You'll stalk redfish and speckled trout in pristine shallow flats covered with marsh grass, near oyster reefs, along cane lined shores, on the sandy coastal beaches, next to granite boulder jetties, and around the many near shore oil and gas platforms. Whatever you may envision, the Mississippi Delta has it all!

Duck Hunting

And if duck hunting is your passion, look no farther. Located along the notorious Mississippi Delta Flyway, Venice is one of the most sought after destinations in the country. A special two week teal season in September followed by a duck and goose season from mid November until mid January is perfectly coordinated for a Cajun Cast and Blast. This combination consists of hunting in the early morning and fishing in the afternoon. Many have said that this is the ultimate sportsman's adventure.  Please book early!
