In 1986, Dave and Debbie Ballay made the gamble of their lives and opened the Venice Marina. Since then, fishermen from around the country - milkmen to magazine editors, TV celebrities to tournament pros, neophytes and experts alike - have sampled the bounty of the Delta from the convenience of Venice Marina.

To enhance your visit to the Venice Marina there are numerous houseboats offering overnight accommodations and meals, and also numerous motels and restaurants which are available to accommodate your every need!

In the world of sportfishing, there are the pioneers and there are the developers. Those who pioneered the waters around the Mississippi River Delta proved their productivity. The developers - Dave and Debbie Ballay - with their foresight and willingness to risk the uncertainties of such a venture in such a remote place, have with their Venice Marina made access to those waters as easy as it gets along the Gulf. The fish are there, and now there is no reason not to head to the Venice Marina and catch them.
