Palometa
Venice, Louisiana, may be renowned for its redfish and tuna, but it also presents a unique opportunity to target Palometa. These flats-dwelling speedsters frequent the shallow, brackish waters of the Louisiana marsh, particularly during the warmer months from late spring through early fall. Look for them tailing on the flats or cruising along the edges of channels and oyster beds. Venice offers vast expanses of relatively undisturbed habitat, making it ideal for sight fishing. A poling skiff is highly recommended for navigating the shallow waters and spotting these elusive fish. A crucial tip for Venice is to pay attention to tidal movements, as Palometa often feed more actively during periods of strong tidal flow. Also, be aware of the presence of alligators and other wildlife while navigating the marsh. Launching from Cypress Cove Marina provides easy access to prime Palometa habitat.
