Fellow TFF'frs,

I typically spend my time in the bass section. I am looking to book a trip to Venice in May of 15. There will be 4-6 of us on the trip. I am hoping some of you can give me a recommendation for an offshore charter to pursue yellowfin and other blue-water fish. We are thinking about a day inshore and a day off. I do like the idea of some of the guys that can provide meals and lodging. If any of you saltwater Venice veterans can give me some feedback I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

My Best,
Justin

Thanks! I did read a terrible review in the LA fishing forum about an outfit there that made me nervous. We will be spending a lot of $$ to do this and just want to make sure I hire someone that is going to bust their tail for us. Please, anyone else with an opinion or knowledge chime in.

Thanks again lite-liner!

I don't know if they go off shore, but he knows a lot of guides in the area and can prolly point you in the right direction....

I have seen a couple of bad reports for Venice but not many. I've seen a lot of people recommend Eddie Burger although I have not fished with him personally.

Definitely Capt Eddie Burger is also a good choice. 36 ft Contender.
