Southern Pro Charters delivers a truly customizable offshore fishing experience in Venice, Louisiana. Whether you're a seasoned angler or trying offshore fishing for the first time, Captain Chad and his crew are ready to create a trip that fits your goals. We welcome everyone from serious sportfishing fans to corporate groups looking to treat their team to something special. Our full-day charters typically run 10 to 12 hours and take you anywhere from 30 to 70 miles into the Gulf, offering access to some of the most productive waters in the region.

What sets Venice Louisiana fishing charters apart is the diversity and abundance of fish. Depending on the season and water conditions, you'll be targeting prized species like Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Amberjack, Red and Mangrove Snapper, Gag Grouper, and Cobia. Every trip is unique—no two days are alike on the water—but each offers excitement, challenge, and memorable catches.

Southern Pro Charters specializes in Venice Louisiana deep sea fishing, with trolling and bottom fishing as common techniques used throughout the day. Heavy-duty rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with all the lures you'll need. A dedicated First Mate is on board to assist, rig lines, and help manage your catch. It's standard to tip the Mate 10–20% for their efforts, especially after a great day offshore. At the end of your trip, your catch will be cleaned and prepped—just make sure to bring ziplock bags and coolers to transport your fish home.

Trips are run aboard a powerful 39’ Contender center console, fully equipped for long days on the Gulf. With space for up to six anglers, this vessel balances comfort and capability, making it ideal for deep sea adventures. Kids are welcome too, but be sure to check in advance about life vest sizes. Bring your own food and drinks for the day, and don’t forget essentials like reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but we recommend avoiding glass and hard liquor for safety reasons.

Before your fishing day begins, check the Louisiana regulations to ensure you have the proper fishing license and understand any seasonal limits or tagging requirements. If you’re ready to experience some of the best fishing the Gulf has to offer, Southern Pro Charters is ready to take you there. With expert guidance and access to world-class waters, it’s easy to see why so many anglers return to Venice again and again.
