Venice, LA fishing report
The Mississippi Delta passes offer a remarkable mix of inshore and offshore action within a short run. Redfish and speckled trout hold in the marsh edges and shallow grass flats year-round, though trout push deeper into the passes during winter cold fronts and concentrate near warm-water discharges when temperatures drop hard. Spring and fall are prime time as both species feed aggressively on the flats. Come late spring through summer, the game changes dramatically offshore — cobia start cruising the pass mouths and nearshore rigs, and yellowfin tuna become accessible surprisingly close to the delta as the Loop Current pushes warm blue water toward the Mississippi outflow.
Fish incoming tides hard when cleaner Gulf water pushes into the passes, as redfish and trout stack on current seams along marsh points and oyster-shell bottom. For trout, work soft-plastic paddle tails or suspending twitch baits through the water column, varying retrieves until fish show a preference. Redfish respond well to weedless gold spoons and crab-imitation plastics worked slow near structure. When targeting cobia, live eels or large blue crabs drifted near floating debris and weed lines are hard to beat. Watch water temperature closely — speckled trout get lockjaw below roughly 50 degrees, so focus on the deepest pass channels when cold snaps hit.
