Hog hunting at Saltgrass runs all year — and May is a perfect time to add it onto a fishing trip. Hunt the marsh at dawn, fish the flats by afternoon. Two completely different experiences in one day. That's what Venice gives you that nowhere else can.

No season restrictions. No waiting. Just show up ready.
Whether you're coming down for the fishing and want something different before the boats go out, or you're booking a dedicated hunt — the marsh is producing and the action is consistent.

This is the window fly anglers wait for all year.

Spring water clarity in the Venice marsh hits its peak in May. Clean water, tailing reds on the flats, and enough visibility to sight-cast to individual fish. This isn't blind fishing, this is hunting. You pick your target, make your cast, and watch it happen.

Bull reds pushing the flats. Tails up. Hungry.
Clear water. Tailing fish. Perfect conditions. Don't miss it.

May in Venice is the full package and everything is biting.

Inshore, slot reds are hitting limits on artificials and live bait. Speckled trout are in their spawn aggressive and predictable.

Flounder are mixing in. Work current edges, clean pockets, and marsh structure. Early morning bites are dialed in.

Offshore is wide open. Yellowfin are stacked at the rigs. Mahi-mahi are showing up on w**d lines. Wahoo still in the mix for trophy seekers. Tuna, mahi, wahoo — all in one run. That's a May Venice box.

INSHORE: Slot reds + trout on the spawn + flounder. Artificials and live bait both producing.

OFFSHORE: Yellowfin at the rigs, mahi on w**d lines, wahoo on the troll.

Best bite: Yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, slot reds Best technique: Live bait offshore, artificials inshore on current edges Best conditions: Calm mornings, clean water, moving tide.

Cajun blackened red snapper

Red snapper season opens may 1st. This is how we cook them at saltgrass lodge

For the fish:
• 4 fresh red snapper fillets (6-8 oz each) • 1½ cups clarified butter, melted • 1 lemon, sliced • fresh parsley for garnish
For the creole butter sauce (optional but deadly):
• 4 tbsp butter • 2 cloves garlic, minced • 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce • 1 tbsp hot sauce • juice of half a lemon
The method
Make the spice blend: mix all spices together in a bowl. Make extra — you'll use it on everything.

Heat your skillet: get a cast iron skillet screaming hot. We're talking 10 minutes over high heat. This is non-negotiable. The blackening process requires extreme heat.
Prep the fish: pat snapper fillets completely dry. Dip each fillet in melted butter, coating both sides. Press the spice blend generously onto both sides — don't be shy.
Cook: lay fillets in the dry, hot skillet. Pour one tablespoon of butter over each fillet. Cook 3-4 minutes until the bottom crust turns deep black. Flip. Pour another tablespoon of butter. Cook 2-3 minutes more. The fish is done when it flakes easily at the thickest point.

Make the sauce: in a separate pan, melt butter, sauté garlic 30 seconds, add worcestershire, hot sauce, and lemon juice. Stir together and pour over plated fish.

The result
Crispy, blackened exterior. Flaky, sweet red snapper inside. Pure louisiana. This is what we serve at saltgrass after a day on the gulf — and it tastes even better when you caught it yourself.

Serves: 4 | prep: 10 minutes | cook: 10 minutes

What saltgrass guests are saying

"best fishing trip of my life, and i've been fishing for 35 years. We came as a group of 8 guys — a mix of experienced anglers and a few first-timers. Captain ike and the guides made sure everyone stayed on the bite all day long. Limits of bull reds in the morning, offshore for yellowfin in the afternoon. The lodge itself blew us away — gourmet meals, a pool, rooms that rival any hotel. Raymond runs a tight ship and his passion for this place comes through in every detail. We're already booked for the fall. If you're on the fence, get off the fence. This place is the real deal."

That's five stars and a return booking. That's the saltgrass standard.

Real guides. Real food. Real memories. We've been doing this long enough to know that the details matter — and our guests notice every one.

We had a short break in the winds this morning, then they started blowing later on….again. The tide was weak and the water is still a little dirty.
It didn’t matter. Ike and Chief had a great day. It wasn’t an every cast kind of day, but it was semi-consistent and a couple of good fish boxes were put together.
From the bayou….tight lines and safe boating to all!

While everyone else is planning the same tired group trip, you could be pulling red snapper out of the Gulf of Mexico, fighting yellowfin tuna, and eating gourmet Louisiana seafood straight off the boat.

This spring at SaltGrass:

Red snapper season opens May 1 — get out ahead of the crowds with an April offshore trip targeting cobia, tuna, and mahi. Then come back in May when snapper season is wide open.

✓ 7,000 sq ft antebellum lodge overlooking the Mississippi River
✓ Sleeps up to 24 — bring the whole crew
✓ Gourmet chef. Pool deck. Oyster deck. No details missed
✓ Expert offshore captains who know the Gulf — not Google Maps
✓ Bachelor parties, corporate retreats, buddy trips, family reunions

The spring window is short.

April and May dates are going fast. This is peak offshore season — yellowfin tuna running, cobia on the platforms, mahi in the blue water, and red snapper opening May 1. You don't want to miss it.

🎣 march Venice fishing report 🎣

March delivered. The marsh warmed up, the gulf opened up, and Venice reminded everyone why it's the sportsman's paradise. Here's what was on fire this month.
Inshore

Bull reds stayed aggressive all month — limits every day on live shrimp and paddle tails worked along current edges and grass mats. Speckled trout picked up dramatically in the second half of march as water temps climbed into the mid-60s. Sheepshead were stacked around structure, bridges, and pilings — vertical jigging with fiddler crabs was the move. Flounder also starting to show in transition areas.

Best technique: live shrimp, paddle tails, sight-fishing the flats

Best conditions: moving water, warming afternoon tides, clean pockets

Offshore
Yellowfin tuna were consistent at the shelf on weather windows — chunking and live bait around structure produced hard. Mahi-mahi started showing up in the warmer blue water, chasing sargassum lines. Wahoo mixed in with the tuna bite on early morning trolling runs. Cobia are starting to appear around the platforms —they'll only get better from here.

Best bite: yellowfin tuna, mahi-mahi, cobia building

Looking ahead: red snapper season opens may 1 ⬇️

The countdown is on. Red snapper season opens may 1st — 4 fish per angler, 16-inch minimum, and Venice puts you on the best grounds in the Gulf. Offshore trips are booking out fast for May. Don't wait.
