Black Grouper
Venice, Louisiana, while renowned for its redfish and tuna, also offers opportunities to target Black Grouper. These fish are often found around the numerous oil rigs and other offshore structures that dot the Gulf of Mexico. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when the water is clearer and warmer. Look for rigs in 80-150 feet of water, and focus on the deeper sections around the legs and crossbeams. Live bait, such as pogies or croakers, is highly effective, but large jigs and crankbaits can also produce. Be prepared for strong currents, especially around the rigs, and use heavy weights to keep your bait down. Many charter boats operate out of Venice Marina, offering a convenient way to access these offshore fishing grounds. Always be mindful of safety regulations when fishing around oil rigs, and be sure to check Louisiana's fishing regulations before heading out.
