Yellowfin - Dorado - Snapper Report

Bio: Born and raised in Louisiana fishing has been our passion since we were kids.  I have fished all over the world, but nothing compares to the fishing in South Louisiana. I have fished the entire coast, but Port Fourchon is where I call home. You won't find a lot of fisherman around with all the oil company's in Port Fourchon, but less than 30 minutes away is Grand Isle, Louisiana.  The island has all the restaurants, lodging and entertainment you will need.  There are many thing to do in Grand Isle for the whole family, including surf fishing, pier fishing, a beach for the kids, and much more. We can run east to fish the beautiful rips that the Mississippi river forms for Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, and Wahoo, or travel to the ever so popular midnight lump just an hour and a half from the dock. The midnight lump is where 150lb. tuna are caught daily from mid December to late March.  By running South after passing through the Ship shoal area, you can find any species you want.  The green canyon are also one of our favorite spots being over 80 miles offshore and two to five thousand feet of water.  At some of the offshore platforms, you will find more tuna than you care to real in, with Bull Dolphin, Wahoo, and Marlin as a bonus.  Out there you will be in paradise all by yourself.  Now if a trophy Red Snapper, Lemon Fish, or Grouper is what you are after, I will probably take you west to the structures in the South Timbalier block.  No matter what direction we head, you have the chance to catch any species you desire. Just let us know what you are after and we should be able to find them.  Fishing season is excellent year around, but some species are really abundant at certain times while they are spawning. The only season that closes is Red Snapper from Septrmber 1 thru March 31.
