About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Jack in one of the most legendary fishing destinations in the country—Venice, Louisiana! Known as the “Sportfishing Capital of the World,” Venice delivers nonstop action, and Captain Jack brings the experience, gear, and local know-how to put you right on the fish.

Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler, this 6 to 8 hour inshore and nearshore adventure offers something for everyone. From sight-casting to Redfish in the skinny marsh water, to pulling Tripletail off floating debris, or chasing hard-hitting Red Snapper in deeper Gulf waters—Captain Jack tailors every trip to maximize your time on the water. You'll be fishing out of a spacious 27’ Shearwater bay boat powered by a 300HP Yamaha engine—built for speed, comfort, and versatility. With room for up to six guests, it’s the perfect setup for families, friend groups, or solo adventurers looking for a laid-back but action-packed experience.

Launching from either Cypress Cove Marina or Venice Marina, Captain Jack gives you access to a wide range of fishing grounds, including both the Gulf of Mexico and the productive waters of the Mississippi River Delta. That means more options, more flexibility, and more chances to land your target species. The local estuaries and barrier islands are teeming with Redfish and Speckled Trout, while just a bit further out, the nearshore waters are prime hunting grounds for Tripletail, Snapper, and more.

Captain Jack runs a tight, professional operation with all top-tier tackle, rods, reels, and bait included. Once the fish hit the deck, he’ll clean and fillet your catch so you can take home the freshest filets possible—ready for the grill. All you need to bring is your favorite snacks and drinks, sun protection, and a valid Louisiana fishing license (which can be easily purchased online before your trip).

With Captain Jack, it’s all about smooth vibes, serious fishing, and great memories on the water. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway, celebrating a special occasion, or just looking to knock a few species off your bucket list, this Venice fishing charter checks all the boxes. Come experience why anglers from around the world keep coming back to fish with Captain Jack on the Louisiana coast!
