Striped Marlin
Venice, Louisiana, might not be the first place that comes to mind for striped marlin, but the deep-sea oil rigs and surrounding waters of the Gulf of Mexico can hold surprises. While blue marlin are more common, striped marlin do occasionally venture into these waters, particularly during the warmer months (June-September). Targeting them requires venturing far offshore, often near the continental shelf, and focusing on areas with significant structure, such as the oil rigs themselves. Trolling large lures or rigged baits around these structures can be effective. A local tip is to pay close attention to current edges and bait concentrations, as these can attract pelagic predators like marlin. Be prepared for long runs and challenging conditions, and always prioritize safety when fishing around oil rigs. If you're lucky enough to hook a striped marlin in Venice, remember to handle it with care and practice catch-and-release to help conserve this species.
