On this epic trip, you'll run out up to 180 miles offshore with Captain Donnie to chase down some of the hardest-fighting and finest-tasting fish the ocean has to offer. These overnight trips are great for targeting big-time Yellowfin Tuna out on the Midnight Knob, located roughly ~170 miles offshore. In addition, you'll be able to go after Swordfish, Sailfish, Marlin, and more! If you're an offshore angler looking to knock some species off your bucket list, there's no better way to do it. In order to fish as efficiently as possible, you'll switch up techniques in order to capitalize on the fishes' feeding patterns. For example, because Tuna spend most of their time feeding on squid down at great depths, and only rise to the surface in the early hours of the morning, you'll only troll for Tuna at that time, then switch back to drifting for Swordfish, chasing Sailfish, or targeting other species. Captain Donnie leaves it all out there when you choose to fish with him. He will work tirelessly to make sure you get the best opportunities at the fish you're trying to catch. His 35' Contender is equipped with all the best rods and reels (as well as electric reels for deep dropping), plus all the tackle you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water! The fish are biting—get out there and start fishing! Read More

These sleek and powerful fish inhabit the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico, often congregating around underwater structures such as oil rigs, wrecks, and seamounts, as well as near weed lines and floating debris. Blackfin tuna are known for their distinctive dark blue to black coloration on their backs and yellow accents on their fins and sides, making them easily recognizable targets for anglers seeking thrilling battles and rewarding catches.

Anglers targeting blackfin tuna in Boothville-Venice often employ trolling techniques with a spread of rigged baits or lures, presenting their offerings at varying depths to entice strikes from these fast-swimming predators. Common trolling baits for blackfin tuna include small skirted lures, diving plugs, and feathered jigs, presented at speeds ranging from 6 to 10 knots. Additionally, anglers may use live bait such as small fish or squid, deployed on weighted lines or under floats, to target blackfin tuna actively feeding near the surface or around underwater structures.

Blackfin tuna fishing in Boothville-Venice provides anglers with exciting opportunities for action-packed battles and memorable catches, as these powerful fish are known for their strong runs and acrobatic leaps. Once hooked, blackfin tuna are capable of putting up spirited fights, making blistering runs and dazzling leaps out of the water in an effort to shake the hook.

What are the most popular months to fish for blackfin tuna fishing in Boothville-Venice?

In Boothville-Venice, the seasons for blackfin tuna fishing are influenced by a variety of factors including water temperature, bait availability, and migratory patterns. Generally, blackfin tuna can be targeted year-round in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico, providing anglers with opportunities to pursue these prized game fish throughout different times of the year. However, certain seasons may offer more favorable conditions or higher catch rates for anglers specifically targeting blackfin tuna.

Spring and fall are typically considered peak seasons for blackfin tuna fishing in Boothville-Venice. During these transitional periods, as water temperatures rise or cool, blackfin tuna become more active and migrate closer to the surface in search of food. Anglers targeting blackfin tuna during these peak seasons often encounter schools of fish congregating around underwater structures such as oil rigs, wrecks, and seamounts, as well as near weed lines and floating debris, providing exciting opportunities for trolling and casting.

While spring and fall are considered prime seasons for blackfin tuna fishing in Boothville-Venice, these fish can still be targeted with varying success throughout the year. During the summer months, blackfin tuna may migrate offshore or to deeper waters, requiring anglers to adjust their fishing techniques accordingly. Additionally, factors such as weather patterns, water currents, and the presence of baitfish can influence blackfin tuna behavior and catch rates throughout the year. Overall, whether fishing during peak seasons or exploring opportunities year-round, anglers in Boothville-Venice can enjoy the thrill and excitement of targeting blackfin tuna in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

What techniques are popular for catching blackfin tuna in Boothville-Venice?

In Boothville-Venice, anglers employ various effective techniques to target blackfin tuna, utilizing their understanding of the species' behavior and preferred habitats in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico. One commonly used technique is trolling, where anglers cruise along at moderate speeds while dragging a spread of rigged baits or lures behind their boat. Skirted lures, diving plugs, and feathered jigs are popular choices for trolling for blackfin tuna, presented at different depths to entice strikes from these fast-swimming predators. Anglers may also incorporate techniques such as high-speed trolling to cover larger areas of water and locate active fish.

Another productive technique for targeting blackfin tuna in Boothville-Venice is live bait fishing. Anglers deploy live bait such as small fish or squid on weighted lines or under floats, presenting them near the surface or around underwater structures where blackfin tuna are known to congregate. Live bait fishing allows anglers to present natural, enticing offerings to blackfin tuna, increasing the chances of enticing strikes and hooking into these powerful fish. Additionally, anglers may chum the water with chunks of baitfish or fish oil to attract blackfin tuna to the area and stimulate their feeding behavior.

Jigging is also a popular technique used by anglers to target blackfin tuna in Boothville-Venice, particularly when fishing around underwater structures such as oil rigs, wrecks, and seamounts. Anglers deploy heavy jigs or butterfly jigs, allowing them to reach deeper depths where blackfin tuna may be holding. Jigging allows anglers to present their offerings vertically, mimicking the movements of injured baitfish and enticing strikes from blackfin tuna lurking below. Overall, whether trolling, live bait fishing, or jigging, anglers in Boothville-Venice have a variety of effective techniques at their disposal to pursue the elusive blackfin tuna in the offshore waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

What other species are popular in Boothville-Venice?

Beyond blackfin tuna, Boothville-Venice offers anglers a diverse range of species to target, ensuring an exciting and varied fishing experience in the Gulf of Mexico. One notable species is the mahi mahi, also known as dolphin fish or dorado, prized for its vibrant colors, acrobatic displays, and delicious flesh. Mahi mahi inhabit the warm offshore waters around floating debris, weed lines, and offshore structures such as oil rigs and buoys, where they prey on baitfish and squid. Anglers targeting mahi mahi often use trolling techniques with a spread of rigged baits or lures, presenting their offerings at varying depths to entice strikes from these fast-swimming predators.

Another sought-after species in Boothville-Venice is the wahoo, known for its lightning-fast strikes and high-speed runs. Wahoo can be found patrolling the offshore waters around underwater structures such as oil rigs, wrecks, and seamounts, where they prey on smaller fish and squid.

    Went out with Captain Davide on June 5,2023. His in depth knowledge of the waters ( fishing he area since he was 9y.o.) really made the difference. We were on fish almost all day. He knew how to target each species and the best place to get them. He organized the day to target species that would keep us reeling fish in. Combination of American reds (15), Tuna(6), and variety of other species . Not to mention the wahoo that broke me off ( Damn near the biggest I ever saw). Ended with a day of heat exhaustion for me, 2 hours of fish cleaning for David, and buying 3 extra coolers for the haul home. Be careful...... There is alot of mean mugging at the cleaning station. Most everyone else got skunked that day. Thanks Capt. David Dr, James Hill Ft. Lauderdale Fl.

    Captain Jacob gets 5 BIG stars from my son Tyler and I. We had a fantastic trip with him yesterday. I cannot imagine there is a better fishing guide in the area . He had us on huge donkey red snappers in no time and he took us to many other locations for other species, since we had limited out on red snapper in the first 2 hours of fishing. His boat was immaculate. As a marine surveyor I look at these things as the safety of my son and myself is very important. Captain Jacob has a great sense of humor and makes sure his guests have a great time. Definitely choose him for your trio.

    William T. with Jacob M. of Boothville-Venice, Louisiana

    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

    Excellent trip with Captain Donnie! An experience every sportsman needs. Tails Up/Sea Cruiser will be my only go to when fishing out of Venice. Donnie is a true professional and will make sure you get on the fish no matter what it takes. His new Contender is a battle wagon and he and his crew are second to none.
