Captain Cook Charters specialize in fishing the Gulf of Mexico for offshore species out of Venice, Louisiana. They are true experts in targeting large Yellowfin Tuna and will take you to the most productive grounds where you can experience what it's like to tackle monster Tuna.
The crew is led by Captain Andy Cook who's been fishing for many years and knows the waters of Louisiana like no one else. He is a kind and patient man who loves taking whole families with children out and teaching them reel in the fish of their dreams. Captain Cook also works with a friend and skilled angler, Captain Jason Lowrance, who may sometimes run Captain Cook Charters trips. You're in safe hands with either of these seasoned guides.
You will fish aboard his 38 foot Fountain offshore sport fishing boat, powered by three 300 HP Yamaha engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 50 knots. The boat is equipped with all the safety equipment and electronics, and also features outriggers, downriggers, a live bait tank, and an icebox for the catch.
Captain Cook will provide you with all the fishing gear you'll need when targeting species such as Yellowfin Tuna, big Red Snapper, Grouper, Wahoo, Amberjack and other big game offshore species.
Once you return to the dock, your catch will be cleaned and filleted for you to take home and make a lovely dinner. Nothing beats eating your own catch after a big fight and all the energy invested into reeling it in!
So if you can't wait to get your hook into a giant fish, book a trip today and come meet Captain Cook on the water!

12 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 7, 2022 • 5 adults • 1 child
It was a tough morning given the rain that was coming down in the area the Captain planned to take and having to start at a different location but the Captain was determined for us to get fish. We had lost some big ones in the morning which was still thrilling. In the afternoon we moved to a new area he had worked before and BAM we hit paydirt. Had some great fights and brought in some beautiful tuna. Captain Cook did a great job and made the day a success.

Foggy ride out went without a hitch capt Andy had us on fish all day . We ended up with a cooler full fish after so many missed opportunities. The sharks were a real pain, but were mixed with big tuna. Wahoo was the catch of the day. Thanks again for a great day Andy looking forward to the sword fishing trip

12 Hour Tuna Trip with Capt Andy Cook and Mate Jason
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on January 28, 2019 • 3 adults
I highly recommend Capt Cook for any fishing Trip, Top Rate. Due to a lot of bait fish Tuna were hard to find. But Capt did all his tricks to find fish. We trolled oil rigs, chummed and dropped bait, followed shrimp boats, chased birds to find fish, and fished the Lump. We caught 2 Black fin on first troll. Caught Bonita and several shark. On way back we hit an oil rig again, and the Blackfin were boiling the surface. We caught 13 more blackfin in the 13 to 18 lb range. Jason the mate did superb in all his duties, kept the boat clean after every fish. They both have great personalities. If yellowfin would have been bitting, I know we would have caught our share. Fish with Capt Cook.

We had the time of our lives. Best fishing day ever!!! Everyone caught fish, and the battle was REEL! The entire experience was worth the sunburn, the money and the fatigue from the fish fights. Anytime we want to charter, we will call Andy! We caught yellow fin tuna, wahoo, mahi mahi, and a massive 244 lb. sword fish that took about 90 minutes to reel in. Best part of the entire trip is that he included our kids in everything from catching bait, catching fish, to cleaning the fish. Thanks Andy and first mate Jake for the memories of a lifetime!
