Another great weekend of GREEN WATER fishing. We headed out Friday night on an over fishing trip in hope of finding blue water. We went 120 miles out and still no blue water. I did talk to one of the supply boats heading in from way offshore and he told me it was close and pushing north.Hopefully things will be back to normal soon and the summertime fishing along the rips will be in close.
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
The offshore fishing was incredible this week. We headed out Thursday with a 3 man crew of Kevin Bloom and friends. On the way offshore we stopped to try a little cobia fishing. It worked out great. We went 2 for 3 on cobia(lemon fish), caught our live bait and decided to head offshore for some yellow fin tuna fishing. We made the long run out to one of my favorite yellowfin tuna fishing spots and it was on. We were hooked up to yelllowfin tuna for almost 3 hours straight.
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.
