Group of us (3) here in East Texas make a trip to Venice every fall to chase bull redfish-generally the last week in October or first week in November.

We trailer a 2200 Shearwater down from Jefferson,Tx and do a four night,three day while staying at the Venice Marina.

We split expenses three ways. I have a retired military ID card and it gets some nice discounts;especially at the marina. Last year the trip was $460 per man-- all inclusive-- except licenses.

Found out this week that one of our regulars will have hip surgery mid-October. He's out this year and we really want a replacement!

Average age is 60. Low-keyed,light to moderate drinkers (none in the boat) serious anglers.

Would be an excellent opportunity for someone who lives in the Dallas metroplex, Shreveport/Bossier area, Alexandria and southeast.

PM if you want more info or I'll send home phone number. And yup, we do hammer them reds..

Thanks..
