Alright, I've got the itch to do a guy's fishing trip in Venice. When would be the best time of year to do an inshore/offshore trip? Also any recommendations for offshore guides?
We have fished venice several times offshore with Capt Eddie Burger. You will be hard pressed to find a better guide or more likable guy. He posted reports here under "capteddie" at one time. His website is fishvenice.com. September and October have been good times to go as the weather is still warm, but a little more predictable. Call Eddie, you won't be disappointed.

Fished with voodoo, two thumbs down
but its a definite bucket list item. I did some research and was told March and April were the best times?
What did you not like?
Usgree with above. Fishing behind the shrimp boats is the most exciting fishing I've ever done. Been to Venice a bunch of times, and October is definitely my favoriteNot sure when the best time is, but the fall bite is exceptional. Last 2 years we have gone in Oct. and hammered them.
They threw us on some beater contender with a d bag Capt who had just a horrible attitude. Mate was ok. Netted pogies and they burned thru them in an hour. Trash talking the other boats there cause they were there. We were fishing Delta House. Caught two 40 lb tunas. Shark ate a bait, at boatside I cut leader, Capt ****y cause they had no other hooks on board. We asked to go snapper fish, Capt said no, he didn’t like to snapper fish. So he beat the snot out of us in 3-4s on the way out and way in, throttles pinned the whole time. Total lack of class, even the owners were douchy. I’ve fished a lot of places and I’ll be back to Venice, but not with those pricks
