Venice sits where the Mississippi River meets the Gulf of America — and that geography creates some of the best red snapper fishing anywhere on the coast.
The offshore oil rigs south of Venice are snapper magnets. Fish stack around the structures year-round, and trips to the rigs produce fast, consistent action. It's the kind of fishing where limits come early and the cooler fills up.
Capt. Herman Demoll has been running these waters his whole life. He knows which rigs are producing and puts his groups right on top of the fish.
Trips depart at 6:00 AM from Venice Marina.
