Captain Boola’s Reel Tite Fishing Guide Service specializes in fishing charters in the bays, bayous, and marshes of Venice, Louisiana.

On a normal fishing trip we leave the dock at safe light traveling the delta where you see plenty of wildlife and wetlands on the way to the fishing hole. Venice, LA is a place like no other! We catch Redfish year-round, and are second to none with respect to our fishing action… including Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and more! Currently, our limits are 5 Redfish (16″-27″) & 15 Trout (13″ with 2 exceeding 20″) per angler.

Whether you just want to catch and release or just want to fill the cooler, we will do our very best to accommodate you.

Once we are done fishing we will then head back to the marina where the Venice Marina offers fish cleaning, vacuum sealing and shipping for your catch.

I personally guarantee you will have a great time!

My Fishing Gear:

We will fish out of a new MAJEK 25+ Xtreme bay boat, powered by a 300 four stroke Yamaha.

The Majek Xtreme is a sleek, low sided, fast tournament style bay boat. It’s one of the shallowest drafting V-hull boats on the market today.

The versatility of the Majek Xtreme is one of its most unique characteristics. It’s perfect for fishing the shallow back waters, bays and even near shore.

“The Majek 25 is by far the BEST bay-boat I’ve ever owned or fished from!”

It is equipped with a 112 MinnKota iPilot trolling motor so we can quietly approach schools of Redfish.

Additional equipment:

Lowerance GPS; Dual 10′ blade Powerpole hydraulic anchors make this boat perfect for the fishing here in Venice.

We provide the following:

  • Professional LOCAL and Licensed Captain
  • Top Quality Fishing Rods and Reels
  • All Fishing Tackle
  • Dead bait
  • Ice and Ice chest to store drinks and fish on the boat
  • Fuel
