Run Away Charters offers Venice, Louisiana inshore fishing charters for Redfish and trophy-sized Speckled Trout, led by Captain Cade Thomas, a competitive bass fisherman who fell in love with these waters and has more than 20 years of experience. ESPN has named Venice, Louisiana its #1 destination for inshore fishing — a place where anglers can catch Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Bass all in the same area (the 2003 Bass Master Classic was even won in the Venice region).

Captain Cade approaches guiding like a tournament, with intensity and determination, prioritizing safety above all else and staying out as long as it takes to satisfy his customers — when guests book a full day of fishing, they truly get a full day, with no predetermined return time. Trips run aboard a Caymas 28′ (HB281) with twin Yamaha 250s, traveling the Mighty Mississippi River and a maze of canals and passes at safe light each morning. The business genuinely caters to women, children, and first-timers as well as experienced anglers, taking real joy in watching a child’s first fish or a lady’s first big Redfish.

Rates run $950 for 1-3 people, $1,150 for 4 people, or $1,500 plus fuel for Snapper/Inshore trips (up to 5 people), including rods and reels, ice, fuel, artificial bait and tackle, and a USCG licensed and insured captain (excluding gratuity and live bait, available at market price). A 50% deposit secures the trip, non-refundable inside 30 days; weather cancellations by the captain are rescheduled with the deposit carried over.

For lodging, the business offers a fully furnished 2-bed, 2-bath trailer with Wi-Fi (sleeps 6) for $200/night plus a one-time $75 cleaning fee, located 7 miles north of Venice marina, alongside recommendations for nearby hotels and restaurants across every budget.

For anglers of all experience levels looking for an intense, dedicated inshore fishing charter in Venice, Louisiana, Run Away Charters offers a well-established operation with Captain Cade Thomas.
