The fishing South of Houma is better than the Venice area.Dulac/Dulage/Cocodrie areas South world class.If you do want to bring your own boat down most guides will work with on a day trip to show you the area.
Hate to disagree but there is no place better than Venice. You can catch all the redfish you want and the same day catch 100's of bass, trout, tuna, what ever you want.
