VENICE, La. - With its vast network of
offshore oil rigs, extreme depths and a nutrient driven
Mississippi River, Venice, Louisiana has been called one
the most prolific fisheries in the world. At the southern
most extreme point of the lower Mississippi River Delta,
it is often compared to some of the world's most famous
fishing charter destinations such as Hawaii, the Bahamas,
and Costa Rica.

But there was a time
not too long ago when Venice was seen as just
another sleepy little port in lower Plaquemines
Parish. It was largely unheard of, execpt for
employees in the offshore oil and gas industry
and a handful of big-game anglers who owned fishing
camps downriver. There seemed to be little need
for a fishing charter service in Venice.
Today, the crew boats, supply ships and helicopters still come and go frequently. But Venice has seen a huge increase in the number of vessels with recreational applications. |
New marinas and lodges have sprung up along State Hwy.
1, and thousands of bay boats and tournament-rigged
sportfishing vessels have found new homes here at the
mouth of the Mississippi River. The rich area is perfect
for tuna fishing, dolphin fishing, wahoo fishing, kite
fishing and best of all, the elusive Marlin.
After spending years in the marsh interiors and coastal
areas of southeast Louisiana, Capt. Kerry Milano discovered
Venice. Already an accomplished speckled trout angler,
Milano wanted to master offshore fishing. He was soon
learning from some of the best in the country. From
the beginning, it was the diversity of this area that
impressed Milano the most.
"Whatever kind of fishing you want to do, you
can find it in here," Milano said. "From trophy
specks to redfish, to snapper, tuna fish and blue marlin.
You don't have to look any further than Venice."
Whether you're looking for great tuna fishing, a relaxing
afternoon of dolphin or wahoo fishing, the excitement
of blue marlin fishing or the more adventurous lump
or offshore oil rig fishing, look to Outer Limit Charters.

Venice, Louisiana, with Capt. Milano and his experienced
crew. |
