Captain JT O'Grady

Fuel average is 250 gallons per day, pay price at the dock

Captain JT has been in love with the water for as far back as he can remember. Born and raised in Ocean Springs, MS, his family had him out on the water since birth. He grew up fishing the Gulf of Mexico. And now, … he provides these services professionally at MGFC.

JT has been running charters since 2013, and fishing out of Venice, since 2017.

Charter trips are $2500 + fuel per day. Fuel average is $1800+, six passengers max in your group.

Note: a 4% processing fee is charged on all orders, and trips must be secured with a credit card, online.

Balances are payable with your captain on the day of each trip + fuel and gratuity for the deckhands. 

Fees include the guided trip, plus all fishing tackle, bait, ice for the fish boat, and cleaning fish at the dock.

The fish we catch are yours to keep. Ask the Marina about packing and shipping.

His boat, the f/v Freak Show, is  44-ft Contender, powered by Quad Mercury 400s.  He believes in offering his customers the best possible accommodations.  His boat is not only fast, but also offers a comfortable ride and ample room. 

His boat sports the latest in Simrad electronics, Mercury outboards, and the best tackle. 

Captain JT says:

• In Venice, there's so much variety — we can always find something exciting to target
• All the people we meet, the relationships we build, that's what makes this special.

And consider an inshore trip with our guides while you're in Venice.

Fishing from Venice often makes for a perfect day: Blue water, wide open, lots of variety, accessible by our fast boats, outfitted with the latest in top-notch gear. Show up, and prepare for having fun. 

We’re here to show you how to fish, let us do that, and you’ll have a great day.
