Mangrove Snapper
Venice, Louisiana, often called the 'Tuna Town' of the US, also boasts incredible inshore fishing, including a thriving Mangrove Snapper population. The maze of canals, bayous, and marshlands south of Venice provides the perfect habitat for these tasty fish. You'll find them congregating around oil rigs, docks, and any submerged structure that provides cover. The warmer months, from spring through fall, are ideal for targeting Mangrove Snapper in Venice. Live shrimp or small pogies fished on a jighead or Carolina rig are highly effective. A local tip is to focus on areas with clear water, as Mangrove Snapper are sight feeders. The fish in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so be prepared for a good fight. Boat access is essential, and many charter services specialize in inshore fishing for species like Mangrove Snapper.
