Southeast Charters runs highly productive Venice, Louisiana redfish charters, led by Captain Dimitri Gagliano, taking guests to the vast Mississippi Delta at the mouth of the Mighty Mississippi River — widely known as the Redfish Capital of the World. The business specializes in fishing inshore and nearshore oil rigs, thanks to the nutrient-rich flow of the river that makes Venice’s grounds some of the most fertile fishing waters anywhere.
Captain Dimitri is highly knowledgeable in the waters surrounding Venice, adapting quickly as fishing conditions change to consistently find redfish. Many clients wish to target big Bull Redfish, which actually strike artificial lures better than live bait — Venice’s brackish waters, rich with nutrients that attract smaller baitfish, support Redfish weighing 25 lbs and more year-round. Beyond Bull Reds, the business also targets Speckled Trout, Flounder, Triple Tail, and Cobia depending on the season.
Most of Captain Dimitri’s guests come through referrals from other anglers who’ve had a successful Venice trip with him, with many returning to fish with him year after year.
For anglers looking for a knowledgeable, referral-driven redfish guide in Venice, Louisiana, Southeast Charters offers a well-established operation with Captain Dimitri Gagliano.
