Was wondering if there is any interest in a Yellow Fin Tuna or other type of fishing charter out of Venice, LA. During late Jan through February large yellow fin tuna run in the Gulf of Mexico. During these months you can expect to catch plenty of 70-120 pounders. On a good day you'll also see a few 150-200 ponders landed.
Cold weather really isn't a concern since we don't have a winter down here, just a few cold snaps.
If not a winter trip, there are other seasons as well. Depending on the time of year, one catch:
Open Water:
Mahi Mahi
Marlin
Wahoo
Blue, Black & Yellowfin Tuna
Spanish & King Mackerel
Swordfish
Triple Tail
Bottom Fishing Around Oil Rigs:
Red, Mangrove and Lane Snapper
Vermilion Snapper (not really a snapper, but very tasty)
Cobia, actually a top water fish that hangs around the offshore oil platforms.
Red & Gag Grouper
Amberjacks & Jack Crevelle (pound for pound the hardest fighting fish you'll ever hook)
Gray Triggerfish
Comments??
Edit 1:
Coon Pop Charters does a 6 person offshore trip for $2500 all inclusive except food & drink. He is out of Grande Isle, instead of Venice. But he fishes the same area. I have fished with him at least a dozen times. We caught limits on all, but 1 trip. That was an inshore trip in crappy weather. Though we didn't catch specks that day, we caught a limit of huge 30+# redfish (red drum).
He owns the Tradewinds in Grande Isle. They have a restaurant & bar. We have to smoke on the porch though because you can't smoke in bars in Louisiana. He also has rooms for rent. $100 per night and they sleep six people.
