After both crew members got their whooping’s they opted for the dock to do a little fish cleaning. Saturday I had Dickie Conrad and crew, we banged up the blackfin tuna losing count somewhere around 25 after that they decided to try for some wahoo. After putting a few Wahoo and a dorado in the boat they to opted for the dock early to catch up on some fish cleaning.
The fall is an awesome time to fish. Tuna, Wahoo, dolphin and cobia all move in close in big numbers. There are still plenty of amberjack, grouper and mangroves to be caught also.
But the real excitement is the huge yellow fin that come in close to the shelf and devour anything you put in their face. Give us a call and get your shot at a fish of a lifetime. We’re making short runs, the weather is cooling off and the fishing’s heating up.

The tuna bite has been hot both during the day and at night. The full moon made it tough fishing for a few days but we still managed to catch some really nice fish. With the red snapper season winding down, we spent Sunday scouting for mangroves. We stopped at several spots and there were mangrove snapper everywhere. Its not very often you have to recount your fish to make sure you don’t have over 60. The amberjack are still thick at several spots.
We saw several cobia(lemon fish) and managed to put several in the boat lately. The grouper have been hard to find but we are still putting a few in the boat. It seemed as though the Wahoo had disappeared, but we picked up a few this week along the rip.
Don’t miss out on a trip of a lifetime. The season is winding down. The fishing is great through October, If you want your chance at a 100 plus pound yellow fin tuna, book a trip September through October.
The big yellow fin tuna move in close to spawn and chase mullet coming out of the mouth of the river. The run to our favorite spots is close allowing you more time to fish. We caught several yellow fin tuna in the 150 plus pound range in September and October last year and we are looking forward to chasing them again this year. Give us a call for an offshore fishing trip adventure you won’t forget.
We arrived at the platform around 7:00p.m. I was still letting the first bait out and fish on. We put yellowfin tuna in the box until midnight one after another. We ended up with 13 yellowfin several blacfin and a limit of 10lb Red Snapper we picked up on the way out.
Grand Isle Charter fishing has been incredible this year. We have been catching one or two yellowfin tuna over 100lbs on almost every over night trip. Our group for the tarpon rodeo July 22nd through the 26th could not find a place to stay so the twin vee is open. We have had at least 1 fish place in the top 3 every year for the past eleven years.
We will be fishing out of bridge side marina in grand isle Louisiana. Don’t miss out on a trip of a lifetime. The pictures are from an overnight trip this past weekend.
Louisiana Charter Fishing - July 09
June 2009 - Grand Isle Louisiana
The yellow fin tuna have been ranging from 60lbs. to 120lbs. lately. We haven’t done much trolling lately, but when the rip has been formed up we have had good catches on dolphin and wahoo. I have seen several marlin lately and managed to catch a nice 250lb Marlin during a tournament a few weeks ago.
Red Snapper - Yellow Fin Tuna -
The red snapper fishing has been quick and easy with fish ranging in the 10 to 15lbs. range. The cobia are still here and the mangrove snapper fishing has heated up lately.
Yellow Fin - Red Snapper Charters
I just had a last minute cancellation for July 4th and July 5th. This would be a great time to book an over night trip. Our calendar is filling up fast, give us a call for a trip of the life time.
We had our limit of yellow fin tuna, which was 9 fish weighing between 40 and 60lbs. We decided to head in and try our luck at some amberjack. We made a quick stop picked up a quick limit of amberjack weighing 30 to 40lbs. Kevin told me he had never caught a wahoo and would love to catch just one. So I put the baits out and on the first pass we were hooked up. One nice 30lb wahoo and we were back on the move headed north. We decided to make one last stop where we had seen the cobia earlier and picke up one last fish. We were headed in, worn out with an ice chest full of fish and plenty of smiles from the trip.
Saturday we had Justin and his crew from Lafayette ready to go chase some yellowfin tuna. We stopped on the way out and caught a limit of amberjack, caught some live bait and headed south to one of our favorite yellow fin tuna fishing spots. The first hour was a little slow, but after that it was fish on for the next four hours. We ended up with 12 yellow fin tuna and decided to head back north for some cobia and wahoo fishing. We had a couple of knock downs, but never landed a wahoo. We stopped and picked up some cobia, lost one over 60lbs at the boat and saw several others that wouldn’t bite. With the ice chest full and everyone worn out we decided to head back to the dock. It was a great weekend of fishing with plenty of ice chests full.
Everyone was full of smiles and had plenty of great stories to tell back at the dock. I had a last minute cancellation for this weekend coming up, which is Memorial weekend and the boat is available for anyone who wants to fish the Oilmen’s tournament out of Cocodrie, La. Don’t miss out on a fishing trip of a lifetime! I will post more fishing reports as soon as I get back in from fishing.
