About SWC Sportsman's Lodge

The Sportsmans Lodge is located in the Venice Marina in Venice, Louisiana. Venice, called the ‘Sportfishing Capital of the World”, is a 90 minute drive south of New Orleans, and is on the edge of the Mississippi River delta. This location offers easy access to the finest off shore fishing just off the mouth of the Mississippi River as the continental shelf is closer to the mouth of the river than anywhere else in the continental United States. Blue & White Marlin, Tuna, Mahi Mahi, and Wahoo abound in these waters. In addition to offshore fishing, Venice is surrounded by vast marshes and is close to several barrier islands offering some of the best coastal fishing for redfish, speckled trout and many other species of fish as well as exceptional duck hunting.
