Redfish
Head to Venice, Louisiana, and you'll find some of the best redfish angling in the country. This area, at the mouth of the Mississippi River, is a maze of marshes, bayous, and shallow bays that provide ideal habitat for these bronze beauties. The fall months are prime time, as redfish school up in large numbers to feed before winter. Sight fishing is popular here, with anglers poling through the shallows looking for tailing reds. Topwater lures, spoons, and soft plastics are all effective. Focus on areas with oyster beds, grass flats, and points. A local tip: the Delta Marina offers easy access to the fertile waters of the Mississippi River Delta. Be mindful of the tides, as redfish often move with the current to find feeding opportunities. The sheer size of the fish in this area is remarkable; be prepared to handle some real bruisers!
