Pigfish
Venice, Louisiana, might be better known for its offshore giants, but its inshore waters teem with Pigfish, offering a great option for light tackle enthusiasts. The maze of bayous, canals, and shallow bays surrounding Venice provides ideal habitat. Target them around structure like docks, pilings, and submerged vegetation. The best time to fish for Pigfish here is during the warmer months, from spring through fall, when they are most active. A simple bottom rig with shrimp or squid is usually all you need. Local tip: the Pigfish in Venice tend to be concentrated in areas with brackish water, where the salinity is lower. Access is easy with numerous boat launches and marinas in the area. Keep in mind that while Pigfish are a smaller species, they are a crucial part of the food chain here and serve as prey for many larger gamefish, so practice responsible fishing.
