We usually travel down the Mississippi River and back up in the afternoon. We catch bait in the morning using cast nets and Sabikis. We then venture out to our oil rigs and will use different fishing techniques for different times of the year. We mainly target Yellowfin Tuna but can target other species too.

Wahoo fishing in Louisiana, United States is fast, exciting, and rewarding. Wahoo are lightning‑quick pelagic fish with sharp teeth and powerful runs. Louisiana’s bluewater attracts them with rich bait schools around platforms and along the Gulf’s offshore currents.

Captains often troll fast with deep‑diving plugs, jet heads, and rigged ballyhoo. They watch for clean water, rips, and temperature breaks where bait stacks up. Wire leaders help prevent bite‑offs, and heavy tackle keeps pressure on during long, fast runs.

Most Wahoo charters are full‑day offshore trips with an early start. Boats run well past the nearshore line to reach bluewater and structure. This trip suits anglers who enjoy speed, teamwork, and steady action. Bring sun protection, a hat, polarized sunglasses, and any motion‑sickness meds. Your crew will explain the plan, handle the gear, and help with fish care.

Louisiana’s best Wahoo grounds spread off Venice, Grand Isle, Empire, and Port Fourchon. Productive waters include the continental shelf edge, the Mississippi Canyon, and deep areas near major oil platforms and floaters. Winter through spring often sees strong action when water is clear and bait is plentiful, but fish can show anytime conditions line up.

Before you go, check current Louisiana and federal rules for Wahoo. Confirm if you need a fishing license or a charter passenger license. Ask your captain about open seasons, permitted harvest, and any offshore rules that may differ from state waters.

    WOW!

    Started with targeting speckled trout and the white trouts emerged quickly after. Ended up catching 7 species of fish in a fast 4 hours. 30+ fish caught between me & one other person. Landed a 14.5 lb Red Snapper that took me for a ride! Captian Frank was amazing and very knowledgable of the New Orleans waterways and history!

    Great Time On The Water

    Easy access to the boat and were off and fishing in no time at all. Captain Clint had us on fish right away and we had a really good time. Very knowledgeable about the area and this fishery. We caught lots of white trout, mullet, and croakers. Caught a Sail Catfish which I had never even seen before a really nice Drum. Great conversation, Great captain and a Great time. If your thinking of fishing this area, you wont regret booking with Captain Clint
