Experience Snapper Fishing in Venice, LA
There is simply no other place on earth with better snapper fishing grounds than Venice, LA. The near shore Gulf of Mexico waters are teaming with American Red and Mangrove snappers – it’s common to catch the limit within two hours of fishing – sometimes faster. Just offshore from Venice, LA is a vast array of pumping stations, which provide perfect structure for enormous schools of voracious American Red Snappers – considered to be the “best eating” fish in the ocean.


Snapper Fishing Charters are the ideal experience for families who are interested in “filling the cooler” but are not well suited for the intensity of Tuna or Wahoo fishing, more than 40 miles offshore. Catching the limit of American Red Snapper and Mangrove Snappers is a fast-paced, satisfying, and memorable fishing experience for anglers of all ages, and skill levels. Snappers are typically caught on light to moderate fishing tackle while bottom fishing, which makes for an exciting battle.
American Red Snapper and Mangrove Snapper (among other bottom and structure-based species in the Gulf of Mexico) can be caught year round, but there is a specific season in which anglers are allowed to keep fish. The American Red Snapper population is tightly regulated, in order to protect this species from being overfished. Before booking a snapper fishing charter in Venice, LA, please call Capt. Hunter to confirm the season is open.
