I need advice
A buddy and I are planning a trip down to Venice for a few days fishing, but I need some advice on a few things.. I want to primarily fish for Reds and Trout but may allow a day for an offshore trip.
I need a recommendation on a good guide, lodging, and the best time to go. The calendar is wide open so times really dont matter. We are planning to take our spouses so lodgings dont need to be luxury but at least clean. any input would be appreciated. |

Offshore = May!!!!!!!! Tuna, dolphin, wahoo, and a shot at a marlin. Come back and stop and catch your amberjack and red snapper and maybe a cobia. Overnight trips are awesome, and a very good shot at swordfish if you are interested in that. Venice is very close to the shelf so short ride to the fishing grounds. Several guides to look into, but Peace Marvel is the man if you can get him. Not sure if he is advertising, but he is the man. Can look up Venice Marina or Cypress Cove Marina and they can shoot you in a good direction. Awesome place for fishing. Trout and reds should be very good in May also. |

Are the wives fishing? If not then Venice isn't where you want to go cause there is nothing else to do there. Try Grand Isle if this is the case

really guys I appreciate the input. the wives will be fishing also so the only entertainment that is needed is strong drinks and good food in the evening. If anyone has the contact info for Mr. Peace or Mr. Hunter please forward it.

The fishing is great in both Venice and Grand Isle the main difference is that Venice is a fishing destination and Grand Isle is a vacation destination. |

it is for me too... what i meant is GI has beaches (surf fishing is on fire in the late spring- early fall) and is more long stay tourist friendly. Dont get me wrong Venice has great fishing but that is all there is to do... just thought i would let you know what was up

grand isle has a few good resturants and bars also has access to the same off shore fishing areas as venice . Also has the beach for surf fishing crabbing or just relaxin. there are places in grand isle w/ kitchens if you want to do the cooking and allmost all the motels have boiling / frying facilities outside. You can rent anything from a room w/ bath and bed to 2 br motel room w/ kitchen or a full camp to youself.. If you want to consider grand isle ,let me know and i can set you up w/ numbers and /or email for lodging ,inshore and off shore fishing in the area. |

I understand completley, once again I really appreciate the feedback, it is exactly what I was hoping for. The wives are looking for good fishing also. do they have a liquor store in venice??? probably a stupid question.

also, I guess that we are not locked in to Venice but I understand that the fishing is pretty awesome and we could tie in a trip to N.O.
