trip description for Overnight Trip - 35' Contender in Boothville-Venice

On this epic trip, you'll run out up to 180 miles offshore with Captain Donnie to chase down some of the hardest-fighting and finest-tasting fish the ocean has to offer. These overnight trips are great for targeting big-time Yellowfin Tuna out on the Midnight Knob, located roughly ~170 miles offshore. In addition, you'll be able to go after Swordfish, Sailfish, Marlin, and more! If you're an offshore angler looking to knock some species off your bucket list, there's no better way to do it. In order to fish as efficiently as possible, you'll switch up techniques in order to capitalize on the fishes' feeding patterns. For example, because Tuna spend most of their time feeding on squid down at great depths, and only rise to the surface in the early hours of the morning, you'll only troll for Tuna at that time, then switch back to drifting for Swordfish, chasing Sailfish, or targeting other species. Captain Donnie leaves it all out there when you choose to fish with him. He will work tirelessly to make sure you get the best opportunities at the fish you're trying to catch. His 35' Contender is equipped with all the best rods and reels (as well as electric reels for deep dropping), plus all the tackle you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water! The fish are biting—get out there and start fishing! Read More

Be advised: Fuel is included in the price of this trip! Head out deep with Captain David to chase down some of the hardest fighting and finest-tasting fish the ocean has to offer. The Tuna fishing in Venice can be good year-round! Like most types of fishing though, weather patterns and fish habits can be unpredictable, not to mention Tuna notoriously spend most of their time at unreachable depths. For the best chances at giant Yellowfin Tuna look to book your trip in the Fall or Winter months and definitely book an overnight trip. Though Tuna can be caught anywhere from 5 to 200 miles offshore, the overnight trip is highly recommended if you really want the best shot at some big Yellowfin. Billfishing is also good offshore of Venice, LA. You can target Marlin, Sailfish, and even happen to hook into a Swordfish! Captain David is committed to making sure his customers have a great experience out on the water. He will work his tail off to get you onto the fish! His brand new 40' Sea Hunter is the perfect fishing vessel for these waters equipped with all the latest gear, gadgets, quality fishing tackle, and a comfortable head! Read More

Head out with Captain Jay for an incredible inshore experience in Venice Louisiana! On a typical day, you will leave the dock at “safe light” and will find yourself running through a maze of bayous, bays, and marshes on your way to one of the many Louisiana fishing locations in the area.

Captain Jay will provide all the rods, reels, tackle, and bait you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water! So all you need to bring is your Louisiana fishing license, your favorite snacks and drinks, and let Captain Jay get you hooked into the fish! Read More

The start of the season often sees an initial influx of teal and wood ducks, while later months bring larger numbers of mallards, pintails, and gadwalls.

During the peak of the hunting season, generally in December and early January, the wetlands of Boothville-Venice are bustling with activity. Hunters take advantage of the cooler weather and shorter days, which encourage more frequent and predictable duck movements. This time of year is ideal for hunting a diverse array of species, as the area's rich habitats support a wide variety of waterfowl. The abundance of ducks and the variety of species make this period particularly exciting and rewarding for hunters, whether they are setting up in blinds with decoys or navigating the marshes by boat.

As January progresses and the season nears its end, hunters often find that ducks become warier and more challenging to hunt, having been exposed to hunting pressure for several months. This makes late-season hunting a test of skill and patience. However, the closing weeks of the season can still be productive, especially for those willing to adjust their strategies and put in the effort to find less pressured areas. The end of the season in Boothville-Venice offers a unique opportunity to hunt in a quieter, more serene setting, reflecting on the season's highlights and the natural beauty of Louisiana's wetlands.

What techniques are popular for duck hunting in Boothville-Venice?

Duck hunting in Boothville-Venice, Louisiana, involves a variety of techniques, each suited to the unique landscape and abundant waterfowl of the region. One of the most common methods is hunting from blinds, which are strategically placed along marshes, bayous, and other wetland areas where ducks feed and rest. Hunters use these concealed spots to stay hidden while they call ducks in using decoys and duck calls. The effectiveness of this technique relies on the careful placement of decoys to mimic natural duck behaviors, luring unsuspecting waterfowl within shooting range.

Another popular technique in Boothville-Venice is boat hunting, which allows hunters to access remote areas that are otherwise difficult to reach. Using specialized boats designed for shallow waters, hunters can navigate the intricate network of marshes and bayous to find secluded hunting spots. This method is particularly effective in the early morning or late afternoon when ducks are most active. Boat hunting often involves setting up temporary blinds or simply using the boat itself as a hide, providing flexibility and the opportunity to move quickly to follow the ducks' movements.

Walk-in hunting is also a favored method in this region, especially in areas where motorized access is restricted. Hunters wade through the wetlands on foot, carrying their gear and setting up in natural cover or using portable blinds. This technique requires a good understanding of the local terrain and duck behavior, as hunters need to choose their spots carefully to maximize their chances of success. Walk-in hunting can be particularly rewarding as it allows for a more intimate and immersive experience in the natural beauty of the Louisiana wetlands, offering a closer connection to the environment and the wildlife it supports.

What species are popular for duck hunting in Boothville-Venice?

Duck hunting in Boothville-Venice, Louisiana, offers opportunities to target a variety of waterfowl species that frequent the region's rich wetlands and coastal habitats. One of the most common species targeted by hunters is the mallard, known for its distinctive green head and white neck ring. Mallards are abundant in the area and are prized for their tasty meat and challenging hunting behavior. Additionally, hunters often encounter other dabbling ducks such as gadwalls, pintails, and teal, which also frequent the marshes and bayous of Boothville-Venice during the hunting season.

Another popular species for duck hunters in Boothville-Venice is the wood duck, characterized by its colorful plumage and distinctive markings. Wood ducks are often found in wooded swamps and shallow wetlands, where they feed on seeds, nuts, and aquatic plants. These elusive birds provide an exciting challenge for hunters due to their quick, darting flight patterns and wary nature. Successfully bagging a wood duck is considered a significant achievement among duck hunters in the region.

In addition to mallards and wood ducks, hunters in Boothville-Venice may also encounter diving ducks such as canvasbacks, redheads, and scaup, particularly in coastal areas and open water habitats. These species are known for their diving behavior and preference for deeper waters, making them a different challenge for hunters compared to dabbling ducks. With such a diverse array of waterfowl species to pursue, duck hunting in Boothville-Venice offers an exciting and rewarding experience for hunters of all levels.
