If you want a mellow boat ride, keep scrolling. We run fast, fish hard, and chase some of the Gulf's toughest fighters: Swordfish, Tuna, Mahi, Snapper, Amberjack, and more.

You'll fish aboard a tough 40-foot center console powered by three 300 HP Suzuki engines. Plenty of space, top gear, live bait tanks, outriggers, all set up for serious offshore action.

Captain Bernie Frueh brings decades of experience and a reputation for putting clients on fish that fight like hell. We use every trick in the book (trolling, jigging, popping) whatever it takes to fill your cooler and make your trip unforgettable.

Tackle's included, catch cleaned and filleted. Just bring your Louisiana saltwater fishing license, lunch, drinks and a hunger for action.

Ready to leave with sore arms and a story nobody will believe? Let's make it happen.
