Fishing Reports – Grand Isle, Venice La

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".

What a great week to be on the water. We fished out of Grand Isle. Louisiana this Tuesday and Wednesday. We left both days around 6:00 a.m. out of Bridge Side Marina and headed south looking for tuna and wahoo. Our first location we stopped at was so loaded red snapper we actually hooked 2 of them while trolling. We continued south crossing into blue water about 60 miles offshore. There was some scattered grass but nothing worth fishing. We trolled for a while both days and only landed 1 nice wahoo. We started chuming and the tuna where every where under the boat. We caught tuna after tuna loosing several to sharks. We had to move several times to get away from the sharks. On the way in we stopped to try and catch amberjack. We limited out fast with the amberjack ranging from 40lbs to 80lbs. If you would like to go on a Tuna Fishing Charter of a lifetime, come fish with FISH COMMANDER FISHING CHARTERS.
