Yellow Fin Tuna - Snapper - Dorado Fishing Report

July 31st, 2011 No comments

Sitting around the fishing lodge waiting for the wind and rain to stop. Just wanted to post a few pics from last week. The Red Snapper fishing was incredible this year, we averaged a 15lb per fish limit on red snapper. We have been doing really good on the yellowfin tuna catching 14 on our last trip along with several blackfintuna and dorado fish.


The current has been really strong pushing the grass lines together making a good rip to fish. We will be fishing most of next week, we still have some openings in August.

Come enjoy a Offshore Fishing trip of a lifetime, learning experience for anglers of all ages in Louisiana's Gulf Of Mexico.

Yellowfin Tuna - Mangrove - Red Snapper Fishing

July 11th, 2011 No comments

I’m about to leave on another overnighter and had a few minutes to post a quick report.  This past week has been some of the best fishing I’ve had all year.

The yellowfin tuna fishing has been on fire.  We are loading the boat with yellowfin tuna on the night trips and still managing to pick up a couple good ones on our day trips.

The biggest Yellow fin Tuna we caught last week was 130 pounds.  We have also been catching tons of giant blackfin tuna.  The rip lines have started to form up and we have been catching tons of bull dolphin. We have also been catching a nice limit of red snapper everyday, with only a few days left in the season.  We are heading out today in hopes of catching some more 20 pound red snapper.  We have been averaging 15 pound per fish limit of red snapper this season.  There’s more red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico than I have ever seen my entire life. The mangrove snapper have been easy to catch when targeting them.  The cobia fishing has been pretty good too; we are still catching them daily.   The weather looks great for the week; I will post another report this weekend.  The yellowfin tuna fishing has been incredible, hopefully the action will last the rest of the summer.  I still have a few openings left, so give us a call soon.

 

 If you’re interested in 100 plus pound yellowfin, book your Charter Fishing trip from mid-September until the end of October with us.  We normally catch our biggest yellowfin this time of the year.  My calendar is filling up fast, so don’t miss out on a trip of a lifetime.

 

Thanks, Capt. Lance Walker

Deep Sea Fishing Charter Report

June 30th, 2011 No comments

It's my first day off in a while from deepsea fishing in the Gulf. The fishing has been incredible. The tuna fishing has been off and on, but we are still managing to put 7 on the boat with the right bait. We are catching limits of 15 pound plus snapper everyday, a boat full of mangroves and about 7 cobia. The blue water is about 50 miles offshore. Now that the wind isn't blowing, maybe some grasslines will start forming up. The weather looks great for the next week. We are headed out on an overnight trip today and I'll be sure to post pictures after the weekend.

I just had a last minute cancellation for this Friday-Saturday overnight trip. Email me or call if you want to book an overnight trip, leaving at 2pm Friday or for a day trip on Saturday. There are only 2 weeks left for red snapper fishing. I also have July 10 open as of now. Call or email me soon if you want to book. Captain Lance will be offshore, so leave an email or voice mail, or call Monica at 985-630-8496. Thanks.

Yellowfin Tuna Fishing Report Grand Isle

May 10th, 2011 No comments
After sitting at home for 3 weeks because of the weather it was great to finally get offshore this weekend. We headed out of bridge side marina in grand isle Friday around 1:00p.m.  We started out by catching  live bait and headed to try our luck with amberjack.  We pulled up dropped a live hardtail and it was an instant hookup. We pulled out 4 nice amberjack and 1 giant snapper, released him and headed south. The seas were not 1-2 at all. We got to the green canyon and started chumming, we had a double hookup on yellowfin and put them both in the boat. We continued fishing and hooked a yellowfin several drifts in a row. As it got dark the yellowfin tuna got bigger and bigger. We also managed to land 4 bigeye tuna in the 100lb range. The bigeye faught like they were 200lb fish. There was little surface action but we managed to fill the ice chest to the very top. Everyone was tired and excited about the trip so we started making our way back north. We got back to bridge side marina early the next morning, cleaned the fish and the boat. I headed to the camp took a shower and headed right back to the boat to start putting fresh ice onboard. My day had just started. The next group showed up and we were headed back offshore again. This time I decided to head to the Mississippi canyon.

We pulled up started chumming and it was on again. Triple hook up landed 3 yellowfin tuna. Next drift triple hook up 3 yellowfin tuna in the box. Third drift triple hook up 2 in the box. It wasn't even dark yet and we were loading the boat. We fished until the fish boxes were close to full and decided to head north. We stopped tied up and tried to catch some grouper. After releasing a few snapper everyone took a nap and waited for the sun to come up. We started trolling and caught bonita every pass. Headed further north trolled again and had a triple nock down first pass. After a little operater error we managed to lose all 3 wahoo, two at the boat along with the baits. Decided to call it a day and head in with another successful catch.

The Tuna fishing in Louisiana has been incredible. Give us a call for an adventure of a lifetime.

Wahoo Fishing Report Louisiana

April 8th, 2011 No comments

We headed out of Grand Isle yesterday morning.  The seas were a little rough but we managed to make it out to the floaters.  We tried tuna fishing for a while, no surface action, marked fish really deep.  I decided to head up North for some Deep Sea wahoo fishing.

We ended up going 4 for 5 with 1 wahoo weighing close to 80 lbs.  We also managed to pick up a few blackfin tuna, then stopped at another rig, caught a few amberjack.  We tried for grouper, but only caught snapper. After releasing the snapper, the seas were building, so we decided to call it a day.  Louisiana Deep Sea Fishing
