About Your Trip

Head out of Venice, Louisiana to chase the big offshore fish with Captain John!

You will leave early in the morning aboard his 41' Onslow and will travel approximately 12 to 60 miles offshore out of Venice, Louisiana. Bluewater specialist Capt. John will employ several techniques like trolling live baits, skirted baits, and naked ballyhoo to ensure that you have the best trip possible. You can expect to catch some Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, and maybe even some Tuna!

Fuel is not included in the trip price and can cost anywhere from 1000-1500$ But otherwise, Captain John's boat comes fully loaded with all the rods, reels, bait, tackle, coolers, lounging space, etc. that you could possibly need for an outstanding day out on the water. That way all you have to bring is your Louisiana fishing license, your sunscreen, a tip for the Captain, and Captain John will take care of the rest to make sure your hooking into the big ones!
