Overnight Tuna Fishing Trips in Venice La
August is some of our favorite fishing of the year. It gives us the opportunity to take advantage of predictable weather and the fish feeding at night. We leave in the late afternoon and come back the next day. Fishing all night opens up a whole new opportunity for my August clients. It allows us to not only target them during the dark when they are feeding, but also get that first light bite which sometimes is the best. Call us to see what days we have available and let’s make it an adventure.
Fishing Report:
Our day trips are doing better now. There was a lull period there for a while where the tuna were basically gone. I hate when that happens, but that is fishing. We want our customers to catch tuna more than they do, so it is really heart breaking when that happens, but I’m happy to report we are back in them. When they were absent we were making up for it with snappers, mahi and even had a blue marlin we released.
Let’s hope it gets better everyday. I have 11 trips in a row coming up and will be reporting everyday on Facebook, so be sure to follow us.

When is the best Time To Tuna Fish in Venice La.
I get asked this question just about daily. And in fact, the best time to go is when you can go.
We catch tuna all year long here in Venice. That is why we call it the “Tuna Capital of the World”. Most of our customers prefer the summer season. The seas are more likely to be calm and we have the opportunity of catching mahi, wahoo and snapper. Calmer conditions allow us to run faster and get to the grounds sooner as well. It is an ideal situation for most anglers. Just look at these recent photos:
But if you are solely interested in Tuna, there really is no better time than the present for you go fishing. Granted we get bigger fish in the winter, however an 80 pound summer tuna fish is no slouch! Plenty of meat for the coolers and a hell of a fight. In fact, sometimes even our 40 pound fish act like much bigger ones and put a hurting on our angler arms.
I recommend you don’t get so caught up in the whole “winter are bigger fish in Venice” thing. Because you have to worry about weather then and there are no guarantees in fishing.
So if you are looking to go Tuna fishing, I highly recommend you book as far in advance as you can. We do still have a few dates left here in June and some in July. Let’s get out there and get tight!
