Fishing Reports – Grand Isle, Venice La

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

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 - July 09

HTML clipboardThe last few weeks of fishing has been great. We have been running tuna trips and it has been very rewarding. The tuna fishing is red hot right now. We had fish jumping out the water for hours on our last trip. We have caught double digits on yellow fin tuna every trip we had for the last 3 weeks.

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.

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.

Louisiana Fishing Reports

The last few weeks have been non stop action on the water. We went on several overnighters and several day trips.  The overnight trips have been producing 10 plus yellowfin tuna and several wahoo and dolphin.  There is a nice rip starting to form up and the action is hot if you find the right area.  We are still seeing plenty of cobia around and the amberjack have been easy picking.  We have caught some of the best red snapper ever in the last week, one weighing almost 40lbs. We are about to head out on another overnight trip and I will post another report when I return.
