Brother-in-Law type trip for Venice Reds

[michauxii]

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..

someone ought to jump on this deal. we do the same thing from the Houston area every July and have a ball. we do ours during the faux pas tournament and have a couple nights of all out party. takes me a week to recoop. Venice is a one of a kind place. everyone ought to do at least one trip down there in their life time!

Im fortunate enought to live In SW LA (Abbeville area) and fish BL~VB....I have a camp in Venice and wont hesitate to drive 4-1/2 hours to fish there over the other areas. There is no comparison for the variety of inshore and offshore opporitunity. That is one heck of a deal. It cost me close to that to fish for three days, and I have a place to stay already. I am sure someone will sweep that offer up!
