Venice advise for newbies

Looking forward to heading down there ?? n a couple of weeks...I have experience in big lake,the point,cocodrie/dularg, and GI. Mainly wondering what potential hazards to avoid and the notoriously bad areas to avoid. I'll be bringing a very mixed crew(72 mother inlaw, down to 11year old niece) I figured if I can put them on some bulls everything else was going to take care of itself.
Thanks for the replies

for a sure thing, get some dead bait and anchor at the end of the east jetty at southwest pass. it s a straight shot down the river, easy peasey
you'll need a good anchor and about 120' or so of rode (you'll be anchoring in 40' of water)

What size boat?

I would strongly advise avoiding Venice for now for the first time when the river gets below 10' and even better below 4' in New Orleans you will be MUCH better off.
Good advice. High river severely limits areas that you can catch fish.

The river at Venice is very unforgiving specially this time of year. High fast water and fog can be a deadly combination
for the most experienced of boaters...would not recommend.

Hate to be a debbie downer, but now is not the time for a voyage south, especially with the crew you mentioned. High risk, and below average reward at this moment.

Dont go. Wait until summer

Delacroix and Hopedale will still be on fire for trout and reds. Still make the trip, but change location.
