Inshore Private Fishing Charters • Venice, LA

Meet Captain Mark Wagner

Decades on the water around Venice, Louisiana — and a private boat that never carries more than four guests.

Captain Mark Wagner's love for fishing began at a young age, spending countless mornings on the waters around Venice, Louisiana with his father and grandfather. That is the same water he guides on today, and decades of local experience is the reason he knows where fish move and when.

Mark holds all necessary certifications for safety and vessel operation. He is active in the local fishing community and takes part in conservation efforts, and he has been recognized for his sustainable fishing practices and for mentoring young anglers.

Guests tend to mention the same things: patience, personalized guidance, and an ability to tailor a trip for beginners and experienced anglers alike. Trips are run to be educational and environmentally conscious, whatever your level.
