Captain David offers serious Venice fishing charters for Yellowfin Tuna and much more. Captain David commands over a decade of experience running Venice fishing charters for Yellowfin Tuna and other bluewater species like Swordfish, Wahoo, Mahi Mahi, and more.

Venice, LA, fondly known as is worth fishing right, and there's no better way than to hire a licensed and insure, experienced guide like Captain David, who's also knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly.

There's a reason they call Louisiana a "Sportsman's Paradise" and there's further reason to call Venice “The Fishing Capital of the World.” Oil rigs scatter the coastline 30-50 miles offshore and are magnets for a wide range of fish species. In addition, the massive natural underwater topographic structures and canyons provide ample cover for giant pelagic predator species like Tuna, Swordfish, and Marlin.

Have a blast targeting Yellowfin Tuna, which can be caught year-round out of Venice, Louisiana. Loved for their fight and quality meat, this is a true bucket list fish. You can also chase Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Cobia, Wahoo, and even Marlin, as well as bottom...

fish like Red Snapper, and Grouper.

Captain David runs a 38’ Fountain center console powered by a big-time triple 350HP Mercury Verados. The boat is equipped with a full arsenal of marine electronics so you can find fish faster. Once you're on 'em Captain David's full outrigger and downrigger set will have multiple lines trolling in the water to increase your chances of a monster hookup.

Your first stop out will be for fresh baitfish, so no baited trailing hook will stay untouched for long. Once you get a bite, you're in for the long haul thanks to all-Shimano tackle.

To wrap things up, Captain David and his crew will clean and fillet your catch for you, so remember to bring a cooler! You will also need a valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license for everyone onboard.

Importantly, FUEL IS NOT INCLUDED, and could cost from $300 to $1000, depending on the trip.

About Your Trip

The waters off Venice, Louisiana are widely regarded as the Tuna capital of the world, and Captain David is ready to prove why. Whether you choose the 12-hour day trip or commit to the full 24-hour overnight experience, this is world-class offshore fishing at its finest aboard a brand new 40-foot Sea Hunter center console rigged with the latest gear, quality tackle, and everything your group needs to fish hard and fish smart in the Gulf of Mexico.

Please note that fuel is not included in the price of this trip and will be calculated based on the fishing grounds reached on your particular outing.

Yellowfin Tuna are the star of the show off Venice, and for good reason. These powerful, hard-fighting fish are available year-round, but the Fall and Winter months are widely considered the best window to target truly giant fish when the biggest Yellowfin push into the area in numbers. Captain David knows these fish intimately, understanding their patterns, their tendencies, and the offshore structure and current edges that hold them in fishable depths. Tuna can be found anywhere from 5 to 200 miles offshore, and David is willing to run as far as it takes to put your group on the fish.

For serious Tuna hunters, the 24-hour overnight trip is the clear choice. The extra time on the water allows David to cover more ground, stay on fish longer, and take full advantage of the nighttime bite that Yellowfin are notorious for. There is simply no substitute for the range and flexibility that an overnight trip provides when targeting big Tuna in the Gulf, and David's 40-foot Sea Hunter is purpose-built for exactly this kind of expedition, comfortable, capable, and equipped with everything needed for a full day and night on the water including a head onboard for overnight comfort.

The action does not stop at Tuna either. The offshore waters of Venice are equally productive for Billfish, with Marlin, Sailfish, and even Swordfish all realistic possibilities depending on the season and conditions. Few places on the Gulf Coast offer the kind of mixed bag potential that Venice delivers, and Captain David positions his clients to take advantage of every opportunity the day and night have to offer.

David is the kind of captain who outworks everyone on the water. He will adjust, adapt, and push until he finds the fish, and his commitment to putting his customers on the best action available is evident from the moment you leave the dock.

Whether you are chasing your first Yellowfin or adding a Marlin to a long list of offshore achievements, Captain David and the waters off Venice, Louisiana will give you every opportunity to make it happen.

Book your trip with Captain David today and experience one of the finest offshore fisheries in the world.

Captain David was very good and interesting to talk with. Our first day out his deck hand had misunderstood our fishing days and was unable to go so David had to do the trip himself. He did his very best but unfortunately we didn't catch anything and helped him as much as possible. The second day he had two deckhands and it went so much more smoothly and they were very informative and very knowledgeable....

Captain David was very good and interesting to talk with. Our first day out his deck hand had misunderstood our fishing days and was unable to go so David had to do the trip himself. He did his very best but unfortunately we didn't catch anything and helped him as much as possible. The second day he had two deckhands and it went so much more smoothly and they were very informative and very knowledgeable. They tried their best to put us on fish but it didn't work to our favor. We caught one swordfish. It was a very expressive trip for one fish but I understand that happens. I would definitely use captain David again and hope to try it again next year
