Barracuda
While Venice, Louisiana, is renowned for its incredible offshore fishing, barracuda are an often-overlooked but exciting bonus species. Look for them around the numerous oil rigs and platforms that dot the Gulf of Mexico. These structures create artificial reefs, attracting baitfish and, in turn, barracuda. The warmer months, from late spring through early fall, are the most productive. Trolling fast-moving lures, like deep-diving plugs or spoons, around the rigs is a popular technique. Alternatively, cast live bait or flashy jigs near the surface. A helpful tip: many charter captains in Venice know the specific rigs that hold barracuda. The fish here are often large and aggressive, providing a thrilling fight. Don't forget to use a wire leader to protect against their razor-sharp teeth, and always be mindful of the regulations regarding fishing near oil rigs. Venice's unique location and abundant structure make it a surprisingly productive place to target these toothy predators.
