Almaco Jack
Venice, Louisiana, is renowned for its exceptional offshore fishing, and Almaco Jack are a frequent target around the numerous oil rigs and platforms that dot the Gulf. These structures provide ideal habitat for the jacks, offering refuge and attracting baitfish. The best time to target Almaco Jack in Venice is during the spring and fall months, when the water temperatures are moderate. A local tip is to focus your efforts on the deeper sections of the rigs, especially those with strong currents. Live bait, such as croakers or pogies, is highly effective, but large jigs and butterfly jigs can also entice strikes. Be prepared for a tough fight, as these jacks are known for their power and stamina. Access to the rigs is typically by boat, and several charter services operate out of Venice. Always prioritize safety when fishing around oil rigs, and be aware of navigational hazards.
