About Your Trip

Come experience the legendary inshore fishing of Venice, Louisiana with Captain Josh, where the rich waters of the Mississippi River Delta meet a serious dose of Southern fishing adventure! Known as the “Fishing Capital of the World,” Venice isn’t just about offshore giants—its inshore action is every bit as exciting, and Captain Josh is here to prove it.

Hop aboard a 26’ Avenger bay boat powered by a 350HP Mercury engine and built to slice through the marshes, bays, and passes with ease. With open deck space, smooth handling, and a shallow draft, it’s the perfect setup for chasing fish in this one-of-a-kind delta fishery.

You'll target a variety of inshore favorites including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Tripletail, Sheepshead, Black Drum, and even Bass—yes, bass in saltwater! The Mississippi Delta’s unique blend of fresh and saltwater creates a fishery unlike any other, offering up non-stop action and a shot at filling the cooler while surrounded by breathtaking scenery.

Rods, reels, fuel, and fish cleaning are all included, so all you need to bring is your favorite drinks, snacks, and a great attitude. Live bait is available for an additional fee, and you’re welcome to play your own music via Bluetooth to set the vibe. Beer is welcome (just no glass), and this trip is great for all skill levels—from beginners to seasoned anglers.

Whether you’re hunting for your personal best Redfish or just out to enjoy a day exploring the beauty and bounty of Louisiana’s coastal waters, Captain Josh’s inshore trip is the ultimate way to do it. Book now and come see why Venice is at the top of every angler’s bucket list!
