Seasonal Activity Chart
Spotted Seatrout
Venice, Louisiana, is a speckled trout paradise, with its maze of bayous, marshes, and open bays. The key to success here lies in understanding the salinity gradients and how they influence trout distribution. Look for slightly brackish water near the mouths of rivers and bayous, especially during periods of high rainfall. Spring and fall are peak seasons, as trout move into these areas to feed and spawn. Local tip: The Empire Canal is a popular spot, offering easy access to productive fishing grounds. Focus on areas with current breaks, oyster beds, and submerged vegetation. Live shrimp under a popping cork is a classic presentation, but don't be afraid to experiment with soft plastics. The trout in this area are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a fight! Pay attention to tidal movements, as this can significantly impact the bite.
