Looking to go Tuna fishing? Then you need to book a trip with Fish Commander Charters, who fish the waters known for being some of the best for Tuna in the world. You’ll spend the day with Captain Lance Walker who has been fishing since he was a boy. He became a captain when he was 19, and has had his own charter company for the last decade.

Hop on board On the Prowl 2, his 33’ Twin Vee catamaran which can comfortably fit you and 5 of your fishing friends. This vessel has twin 300 HP Yamaha engines, which can cruise at 40 MPH, you’ll be at the fishing grounds before you know it. This boat also boasts full safety and navigational equipment, including fishfinder - coupled with Capt. Lance’s extensive knowledge of the area, you’ll have your rods bent all day.

This boat has a custom T-top that can be closed in completely to protect you from the weather. It is known for being a comfortable and fast ride.

You’ll use a variety of methods to catch your trophy fish, including trolling, using live bait, chumming, and kite fishing. Whatever your skill level, you will enjoy trying these methods and catching your dream fish. Even children are welcome - there is no minimum age, you just need to bring your own life vests.

Species that you can encounter on your trip are wide ranging, and can include Marlin, Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, and many more.

Shimano rods and reels are provided, as well as live bait. Depending on the conditions, this can be caught before the trip or during. You will need to bring a few bits along, including a fishing license and a small cooler for your own refreshments and snacks.

Please note, it is customary to tip the first mate after your trip. Similarly, the fish you take home can be filleted and bagged for a small additional price.

There is not better time to book. Come have an incredible adventure with Capt. Lance and his crew today!

Full Day Trip - Offshore

Great Full Day Experience

VERIFIED

We had Captain John along with his Deckhand, Cole. They were both great, and hustled to keep things moving. The Captain found the tuna at the first spot, but they were completely uninterested in our bait as they were swarming on some other bait schools. A bit further out, we landed a very nice black fin tuna, then we decided to try red snapper. We were hooked up on red snapper almost non-stop! At one point, we had 3 fish on at the same time. We got our snapper bag limit, and headed back with a good haul.

Full day Tuna and Red Snapper

VERIFIED

The trip began on time, we spent short time at a marker finding bait for the tuna. Then we rode to the rigs to fish. We caught two beautiful yellow fin tuna trolling in spite of the occasional barracuda and shark. Captain John tried other methods when the tuna stopped biting but they were stubborn. The tuna put up an amazing fight and we are all going to do some weightlifting before planning the next trip. On the way back in, we stopped for red snapper. I believe the minute we set our lines, a fish was on the hook. We kept the first mate, Deuce and Captain John quite busy and caught our limit in an hour. Captain John did his very best to give us an incredible fishing experience. God took care of the beautiful views views and weather. It was a stellar day! We would definitely book another trip with Fish Commander.

Half Day Trip - Offshore

Half Day trip with Captain Sam!

VERIFIED

Great experience with Captain Sam, and deckhand Grant! We went about 40 miles out, off Port Fourchon, LA. Our first stop was overrun by Juvenile sharks, we moved to a second rig and we started hitting Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, and 1 Cobia! Unfortunately, the Red Snapper were out of season, or we could've filled the boat! However, we were able to get some very good eating fish for the freezer! Overall, a great experience and my wife and I would defiantly book again, maybe going for a Marlin or Tuna next time! Patrick J. Pope
