Offshore Fishing Trip Options:

Full-Day Tuna Trip – $2,300 per day (Up to 6 Anglers)

Venture into the deep blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico in search of Yellowfin Tuna and other pelagic species. This trip includes catching live bait before heading offshore, where you'll use a mix of trolling, chunking, and live baiting to attract these powerful fish. Depending on conditions, you may also encounter Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo, and Blackfin Tuna.

Full-Day Deep Dropping Trip – $2,300 per day (Up to 6 Anglers)

For serious anglers looking to target deep-water species, our deep drop trip is the perfect opportunity. Fishing in depths ranging from 250 to 1,400 feet, you’ll drop for Grouper, Tilefish, Amberjack, Red Snapper, and more (depending on the season). We provide electric reels, hand crank reels, and jigging rods, allowing you to fish multiple techniques over wrecks, reefs, rock piles, and ledges.

Full-Day Swordfish Trip – $2,300 per day (Up to 6 Anglers)

For the ultimate offshore challenge, head out on a dedicated Swordfish trip. Fishing in 1,200 to 1,800 feet of water, we’ll target daytime Swordfish using specialized rigs and deep-dropping techniques. These trips require patience and persistence, but the reward is one of the most prized game fish in the Gulf.

Your Offshore Experience:

Each trip begins at sunrise, departing from Venice Marina. After loading up your gear, food, and drinks, you'll cruise through the Mississippi River Delta before entering the Gulf. Depending on the trip type, you may first catch live bait before heading out to the targeted fishing grounds, which can be 30 minutes to 2 hours offshore. Once the fishing day concludes, we'll return to the dock, where our crew will clean and bag your fish for you to take home.
