Swordfish Fishing in Venice, Louisiana

A swordfish is immediately recognizable by its long, flattened bill, large eye, and solid, rounded body. Its dark upper surface fades toward a lighter underside, and its broad tail has a crescent shape. The fish in our featured photograph shows those traits clearly: four anglers share the catch across the boat, with the bill extending over the side. It is one of the offshore catch photos provided for the Venice Charters gallery and a striking example of the fish that draw anglers to offshore fishing.

Planning a trip around swordfish starts with a conversation about that specific goal. Contact Captain Brent Roy with your preferred dates, group size, and offshore fishing experience before choosing a trip. Ask whether a swordfish-focused outing is available, what time commitment it would involve, and which boat and equipment would suit the plan. The current Rates page is a starting point for comparing charter options; confirm the details of a swordfish request directly with the captain. You can also browse our gallery to see other offshore catches, including tuna, wahoo, and mahi-mahi. Each photograph records a past trip, while your own day on the water will be shaped by the agreed trip plan and conditions.
