Looks like Wade (no surprise) is dead on. Pulled up the GPS software and from OB to South Pass on a straight shot is 115 NM. From there up to Venice Marina up South Pass is a total of 132NM. Would be a great trip as long as the seas cooperate. Looks of great rigs for wahoo coming in that way.

For distance alone you could use google earth.

If you want to do some good fishing along the way it will be 140 miles to South Pass. I usually make an arc out to the Petronus, Ram Powell, Beer Can, and the 24 mile rigs. Might as well enjoy the fishing on the way over. Also make sure you have enough petrol - I haven't heard if they have fuel back at Port Eades. Anyway - enjoy the trip!
