Mexican Gulf Fishing Company.

Super Strike Charters.

Need to book usually a few months in advance during the popular seasons.

ETA: Plenty of others that are good. I have just enjoyed my trips with those guys over the years.

The guys at Reel Addiction in Fourchon are good. We caught tuna that outweighed me.

OP, at this time of the year, the tuna bite kind of slows down just a little till right after the first of the year. Now is a very good time to chase wahoo.

Thanks for the input fellas. Was thinking sometime around the first of the year depending on availability.

We had to book in September to get a 2018 summer weekend with Peace Marvel for a bachelor party. Hoping we can frick the tuna up early and then put the groom on a sword

Mex Gulf Fishing Co. - All Capt's
Paradise Outfitters - Capt. Leger & Caballero

Have been with both outfits and multiple Capt's have been happy with the trips.

I know some of the guys at Voodoo and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them.

I did inshore with Super Strike, very professional charter owner and his guides were knowledgeable and put us on the fish. I can’t imagine he offshore is any different.

Two summers ago. There was 6 of us I think. We tell him we want to tuna fish. His first comment was I don't like to tuna fish on the weekends because of all the people. He runs straight to the rip to troll for dolphin. the rip was the most symmetrical rip I have ever seen with zero trash. There were chicken dolphin everywhere. After pulling for hours we catch one nice dolphin by the only piece of trash we have seen. We pull for a while longer and nothing. We ask Mike if we could catch some chicken to ensure we have some meat. His response floored. He said sure, but I am not going to clean them. Well, eventually we move and go free line cut bait, nothing. Then we move to a rig. The boat next to us gets a double and after about 15 minutes of total fishing he says there is nothing here and we come in. Oh, to top it all off he gave away the one dolphin we had in the box.

shite show.

Gotcha. I thought that was his boat. He sure made it sound that way.

ETA: It may have been summers ago, not sure.
