Yellow Fin Tuna - Blue Marlin Fishing Report

fishin4life — Mon, 14 May 2012 04:45:00 +0000

The last two weeks of fishing has been incredible. The yellow fin tuna have shown up everywhere. We are still catching a few over 100 lbs. Live bait has started showing up everywhere. We caught 2 blue marlin last week over 400lbs. We did 2 overnight Charter Fishing Trips and loaded the boat with tuna We had to fight through the sharks a few days but managed to fill the box every day. The grass lines are trying to form and should come together with all of this good weather coming. We caught a few wahoo fish and dolphin last week. It was tough getting down to the amberjack with sharks attacking the baits on the way down, we just added some extra weigh and slung the hardtails down deep. We also stopped for mangroves and they were everywhere. The cobia have really started showing up wherever the water is clear. I'm fishing the next 10 days straight. I will post some pictures next time I'm home.

I only have a few weekdays in June and I'm filling up July and august fast. Book a fishing trip of a lifetime on a 32 ft twin vee catamaran out of Grand Isle Louisiana

I have an overnight trip next Monday and Tuesday the 21-22 the group could use 2 more if anyone is interested give me a call

Thanks, Capt. Lance Walker

Yellow Fin Tuna Fishing Report

fishin4life — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 21:32:25 +0000

I've had a great couple of days last week. We started off Thursday morning pretty early and headed out in search for some yellow fin tuna; had a hard time finding bait on the way out. An hour and half later we arrived at our destination and started chumming; got a few fish up-landed 1 and lost 1.

The next drift the sharks started showing up. We went to start our thrid drift and an old friend Capt. Billy Wells showed up and offered me some incredible live bait. I can't thank him enough-he really saved my day. We put out the live bait and it was "fish on" one after another. We boated 10 more yellow fin and decided to start fishing for some amberjack. We caught a few nice ones on live bait and a few on jigs. We started making our way back to Grand Isle and ran across some black fin jumping. We boated 2 black fin and then headed back to the dock. We had a great trip and I was looking forward to my next trip with Warren the next day. We all took off early that morning and managed to put some live bait in the live well. We spent a lot of time catching bait then we headed out back offshore. When we got out there we went 3 for 5 for yellow fin and then it was back to more sharks. We grabbed some bait again from Capt. Billy Wells and spent the day catching sharks. We headed to go try for some amberjacks and caught more sharks and few jack crevalle. We managed to catch a few amberjack also. We decided to head for some mangrove snapper but the water ended up being really dirty and it had a lot of current all around the river. We decided to call it a day and talked with Warren on the run in, about our upcoming snapper trip for June. The fishing has been hot and we are not having to run very far out to catch some days.

Give us a call for the trip of a lifetime!

We Leave of Bridgeside Marina in Grand Isle, La. Grand Isle has a lot to offer- beaches, restaurants, bars, and lots of wonderful Deep sea fishing in Louisiana.

Charter Fishing Trips in Louisiana

fishin4life — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 22:45:06 +0000

Hunting season is over and it’s time to get back on the water. I spent the last few months hunting all over the country, including Alaska with my buddy Clark Dixon. We have been filming for a new show that we are part of called “The Syndicate” which will air on the Sportsman Channel this fall. We were able to take some incredible animals including a giant grizzly bear, wolf, caribou, and some giant rainbow trout. Alaska was the most incredible experience I have ever had. I was also lucky enough to take 3 whitetails over 140 with a bow and 1 over 160 with a gun. It was an incredible year and I will never forget it!

I made my first Charter fishing trip out to the Midnight Lump yesterday. We left out of Bridgeside Marina in Grand Isle at 5:30am and we arrived at the Lump around 7:00. It is right at 50 miles from the marina to the Lump. We chummed most of the day. There were only a few times during the day the fish came up in our chum slick. 3 out of the 4 times we hooked yellow fin tuna, 1 weighing around 140 pounds. We fought the fish for over 2 hours. He fought like he weighed well over 200. We also got a few black fin and a couple of amberjack. I tried dropping down deep a few times and all we caught were red snapper and a giant shark. The big yellowfin tuna are at the lump right now. Seems like the chances of catching a big fish are better during the week. There was a 237 pound yellow fin tuna brought back to the dock earlier this week that was caught at the lump. What an incredible fish! That was only a few pounds away from the state record. Call us today for Deep Sea Fishing Guided Charters in Grand Isle, Louisiana, I can still fish most of the areas that I used to fish out of Venice And, I can still have the option to fish the Green Canyon , which is an incredible fishery. Check me out at my websitewww.fishcommander.com or give me a call today to book the trip of a lifetime! I also have lodging available right across from the beach. I am very passionate about the outdoors. I’ve spent my life hunting and fishing year round since I was a kid. Check out Trev Gowdy’s Monster Fish’s episode called "Monster Wahoo!” featuring Capt. Lance Walker out of Grand Isle, "Louisiana's Best Kept Secret".

Hunting season is over its time to start fishing

fishin4life — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 07:54:45 +0000

After a long hunting season its back to fishing. I had a great hunting season. I spent a lot of time filming with my good friend Clark for a new hunting show that comes out later this year called "The Syndiate". It is a big game hunting show that will be coming to the sportsmans channel. If the wind would stop blowing we could get offshore fishing but it has not stopped. We managed to make it out last week and put some nice wahoo in the boat along with some Giant amberjack. I have been getting some really good wahoo reports lately and it seems like the yellowfin just started to show up. I will be back on the water as soon as wind calms down. Here are a few pics from the huntuig season.

Yellow Fin Tuna - Snapper - Dorado Fishing Report

fishin4life — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 00:12:17 +0000

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

fishin4life — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 21:49:47 +0000

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

The wahoo fishing was great this past week and is only going to get better in the next few weeks. We had several excellant catches lately. The cobia should start showing up soon. April is a great month to sight cast for cobia and mangrove snapper. Grouper season will reopen in April and I can't wait to fish some of my deep drop areas for monster grouper. Red snapper season will open June 1st, the Gulf is covered up with giant snapper right now.
