Mexican Gulf Fishing Company (MGFC) offers offshore and inshore fishing charters, and lodging, out of Venice, Louisiana — “Tuna Town, USA” and the most active sport fishery in North America, just a short drive south of New Orleans with good weather nearly year-round. The company runs Freeman Boatworks catamarans for offshore fishing and BlueWave bay boats for inshore fishing, all outfitted with the latest gear, technology, and Superior Life-Saving Equipment life rafts.
Offshore trips target Yellowfin, Blackfin, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi, Blue and White Marlin, Amberjack, Grouper, Cobia, Mackerel, Snapper, Triple Tail, and Tile Fish in spring and summer, shifting toward Tarpon and Mangrove Snapper in late summer/fall, with winter (Jan-March) the prime season for Big Tuna, Wahoo, Amberjack, Grouper, and Mako Sharks. Inshore trips run year-round for saltwater species close to home.
Offshore fees start at $2,392 plus fuel per day per boat (250 gallons/day average, paid at the dock), including bait, ice, tackle, and fish cleaning, for up to 6 passengers on a 9-10 hour dock-to-dock trip. Inshore charters run $1,040 for 3 passengers or $1,248 for 4, plus live bait and fuel (25-30 gallons average), for a 5-6 hour trip. Lodging runs $450-800 per night.
