If it’s Tuna you’re after, look no further than Pelican Charters! Heading out of Venice, Louisiana, home to some of the best offshore fishing in the South, this charter is helmed by a local captain. A seasoned offshore angler, he loves to show novices and seasoned pro's what fishing in Louisiana is all about.

You’ll spend the day aboard his 2019 41’ Onslow center console, perfect for 6 anglers who want to fish at the same time. She’s powered by a whopping four 400 HP Mercury engines that’ll see you zipping to all the best spots in no time.

The boat is also equipped with Seakeeper Technology to eliminate rocking, allowing you to have an epic fishing experience without the threat of seasickness. The private toilet and indoor cabin ensure you’re comfortable spending all day on the water.

Seeing as Venice is the Tuna capital of the South, there’s plenty of Yellowfin, Blackfin, and Bigeye to troll for. That’s not all though, these waters are also home to other pelagics such as Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, and Sailfish, which is sure to keep things exciting. Big game fishing is fast and hands-on in these parts so get ready for action!

Top-notch fishing equipment for maximum productiveness waits on board and there’s also a cooler stocked with ice. Captain's helpful and friendly first mate will also be on board and if you’d like to show your appreciation a 20% tip is customary. The fuel is not included in the prices and should be paid additionally.

Lastly, don’t forget to pick up a fishing license before you arrive at the dock. Get ready for action-packed offshore fishing in Louisiana with Pelican Charters!

Yellowfin Tuna Baby!

VERIFIED

Wow it was a beautiful day in the water but the bite was a little slow and the barracudas kept cutting us off , but Caption John and Eddie kept focused on the task and got us some beautiful yellowfin’s on our trip. Our diary time catching these fish. What a fight and one of most delicious fish in the sea. Pelican charters was first rate all the way. I definitely recommend this crew.

Slow start but exciting finish!

Captain and crew worked hard to get bait in the morning. We searched for tuna all day but it wasn’t until almost dusk that we finally hooked up with a yellowfin. After a short 5 minutes my 16yo son boated his largest catch, a 160lb yellowfin!
