Where We Fish

Fishing Guide in Shell Beach

Shell Beach is part of St. Bernard Parish's fishing coast near Lake Borgne. Visitors considering a Venice charter should compare the fishing grounds and departure arrangements.

On the Water

Fishing Shell Beach

Shell Beach and nearby Yscloskey have deep roots as fishing communities near Lake Borgne. They belong to the St. Bernard Parish coast, while our business is based in Venice in the Mississippi River Delta. Those are distinct departure areas. Choosing a charter should begin with where you are staying, the kind of water you want to fish, and the meeting point offered for your date.

For a day with Venice Charters Unlimited, review our inshore and offshore options and tell Captain Brent Roy what your group hopes to do. The published trip categories help distinguish marsh-oriented fishing from an offshore outing. They do not mean every listed species or destination is part of every trip.

If Shell Beach is your accommodation base, confirm the Venice departure address before making transportation plans. Ask about the meeting time, group capacity, and the equipment or personal items you should bring. This keeps your fishing day organized around the actual charter rather than an assumed pickup from a different coastal community.

“Wife and I booked with Captain Brent Roy. This is the first time we’ve booked a charter ever, so we didn’t know exactly what to expect. We had the quite possibly the best time of our lives fishing with him. He was awesome, easy going and extremely knowledgeable. We had a limit…”

Ben Fowler
“We had a great time fishing with Capt. Brent Roy chasing reds. Conditions were still a little tough following a three day cold front and stiff winds, but his experience and knowledge of the fishery had us on fish in no time. After we had our limit, we were able to find some…”
