People from around the world regularly travel to Venice, Louisiana for its legendary fishing. Venice is at the southern end of the Mississippi River, where the river meets the Gulf of Mexico.
Despite challenges from Hurricane Katrina and the Deepwater Horizon spill, the fishing community has remained a major draw for tourists and anglers.
Before the growth of marinas and charters, Venice was known primarily for oil and commercial fishing. In the mid-1980s, the growth of recreational sport fishing led to more charter operations.
Each season brings different fishing experiences, including redfish, trout and offshore species.
