Ladyfish
If you're looking for some high-energy saltwater action, Venice, Louisiana offers fantastic ladyfish opportunities. This area, with its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and the maze of bayous and canals, provides the perfect habitat for these hard-fighting fish. Ladyfish are aggressive feeders and readily take lures and flies, making them a blast to catch. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, from spring through fall, when they are most active. Focus your efforts around structures like docks, bridges, and grass flats, as these areas tend to hold baitfish that ladyfish prey on. A top local tip is to use a fast retrieve when fishing with spoons or jigs, as this will often trigger a strike. Also, be prepared for aerial displays as these fish are known for their acrobatic jumps. Remember to handle them with care and release them quickly to ensure the health of the population. While not typically eaten, ladyfish provide an amazing fight on light tackle.
