The weather out in Venice, LA has been inconsistent, but the fishing is still great on our days out when the weather is in our favor.

Our Red Snapper bite is on fire. The bigger snapper are mostly caught on live Menhadden and Herring. Sometimes they will come off of dead bait as well.…

The offshore fishing out of Venice is definitely starting to move into a summer time pattern. Our Swordfish, Yellowfin Tuna, and Mahi Mahi catches have been in full force since entering into the summer months. Our largest Yellowfin weighed in at 191lbs, and our largest swordfish weighing in at…

Red Snapper Season?
TEAM MOTORHEAD

March 06, 2019 at 1:24pm
Anybody have a clue when the season will open and what the limits and time frame we are looking at this year? We nailed a few 36 inch snapper last weekend and had to release them. They sure would have made some pretty blackened fillets. Thank you all in advance!!! signed : Capt. Motorhead

We'll be at Grand Isle in a couple of weeks. Where should we be throwing the cast net for bait (I know, in the water!) Back side of the island, going out the pass? Thanks for any advice.

If you are looking for minnows, before you get on The leeville bridge, throw your cast net in any other the little canals of water next to the light posts on the right hand side of the road. Usually full of minnows. Good luck!

Anyone notice the Cobia starting to pile up at the rigs in South Tim and Ship shoal platforms? Thinking about going for Labor Day weekend. Thanks

I talked to Capt. Tommy Pellegrin and he said he has heard reports that the cobia have shown up at the satellite rigs there -- He also said the trout bite in Terrebonne Bay has exploded the past 2 weeks which is very unusual for this time of year. Hope this helps.

Tuna bite getting better
NMCharters

July 31, 2018 at 10:57am
After a little lull tuna bite is getting better for us. Fishing hard and grinding is getting the job done. We have Aug 18 open. Amberjack season will open in August and that?s a guaranteed way to get some white meat after catching tuna. Give us a call Captain Dylan ?(225) 287-5821?
