Fish Commander offers offshore and inshore charter fishing trips in Grand Isle, Venice, and Port Fourchon, Louisiana — the Tuna Fishing Capital of the World, and located in the middle of the largest oil industry in the world, meaning hundreds of nearby oil rigs loaded with diverse saltwater fishing species. Led by Captain Lance, born and raised in Baton Rouge with a lifelong love of the water dating back to childhood summers at his grandfather’s fishing camps in Grand Isle and False River, the business runs half-day, full-day, and overnight charter fishing trips.

Captain Lance became a charter boat deckhand at age 15 and a captain at 19, building a reputable, well-respected business across the Gulf Coast over more than 20 years running his own company. He runs a 32-foot Twin Vee catamaran powered by twin Yamaha 300 four-strokes, fishing offshore around 150 days a year using trolling, live bait, chumming, rig, wreck, and kite fishing techniques. Trips target Yellowfin Tuna, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Cobia, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Sailfish, and Sharks — often several species in a single day.

Captain Lance has caught several state records, including Blackfin Tuna and Alamaco Jack, and Team Fish Commander places top 3 in every tournament fished over the past 20 years. He’s an active member of the Louisiana Charter Boat Association and actively lobbies for the charter fishing industry, and has been featured on “Monster Fish with Trev Gowdy,” Louisiana Sportsman, Saltwater Sportsman, The Outdoor Showcase (Outdoor Channel), and Rod ‘N’ Reel TV.

For extended stays, Fish Commander Cabins (established 2013, family-owned) offers three 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabins directly across from the beach and just a mile from the marina, complete with a fish cleaning station, BBQ pits, and seafood boiling pots. Rates run $150/night in peak season or $100/night in low season, plus a $50 cleaning fee.

Trip pricing starts at $1,400, covering catch cleaning and filleting, fresh or live bait, lures, rods, reels, and terminal tackle. Guests bring drinks, snacks, and sun protection. Weather cancellations are handled at the captain’s discretion with a full refund or reschedule option.

For anglers looking for a highly experienced, tournament-winning offshore or inshore fishing charter in Grand Isle, with lodging cabins available, Fish Commander offers a well-established, TV-featured operation with Captain Lance.
