Back Water and Coastal Fishing with Capt. Damon McKnight - 25ft. Black Jack coastal with 400 H.P. Mercury

Capt. Damon runs a 25ft Black Jack Coastal with a Mercury 400 HP Verado 4 stroke 

This boat is fully equipped as well, including Radar, Depth/Fish Finder, AIS, 10ft.  Power Poles as well as a Minn-Kota iPilot with remote. This boat can easily fish up to 3 people, but we can take 4. The decks are  huge and have plenty of room for conventional tackle or fly fishing. Most days the ride to the fishing location is flat calm, however crossing some of the bays and the Mississippi River can get choppy and this boat easily runs thru it,  and stays dry.

Some of the best fishing in the Venice area is in shallow water, the boats we run are able to access just about any pond or canal where red fish live and feed. On the days that the Islands are producing trout, then this boat can run there no problem through open water most days. The boat also has Two live-wells, and two aerated well with recirc. to keep any live bait healthy and active. The fish box is huge and well insulated to keep all of your fish cold, even the hottest days.

We can also target Red Snapper, Cobia, and Triple-Tail (seasonal). 

Triple-tail and Cobia fishing is best from August 1st through October 31st. 

Red snapper season will run 7 days a week with a daily bag limit of three fish per person and a minimum size limit of 16 inches total length. The open season starts on May 26th, 2023  and run thru Labor Day weekend, closing on the 5th of September. The season is scheduled to remain open until recreational landings approach or reach Louisiana’s annual private recreational allocation.
