Knobbed Porgy
While Venice, Louisiana is renowned for its redfish and tuna, the offshore waters also hold populations of knobbed porgy. These fish inhabit the hard-bottom areas and artificial reefs scattered throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Though not a frequently targeted species, they can be a welcome addition to the catch when bottom fishing for snapper or grouper. The warmer months, from spring to fall, generally offer the best conditions for targeting knobbed porgy. A key tip is to use heavy tackle and strong line, as you'll be fishing in deep water with the potential for encountering larger fish. Many anglers use cut bait or jigs to target these fish. Venice Marina is a popular launching point for offshore trips. Be sure to check the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries regulations for any applicable size and bag limits.
