Here, we catch Yellowfin Tuna year round, with our winter tuna weighing an average of 70 to 200 pounds and our summer tuna averaging 30 to 150 pounds.

Are we different??



I get asked all of the time – what makes you different? What sets you apart from other companies? Well, good question! What does make Deep South Charters different than all of the other great offshore captains fishing in Venice Louisiana? I know most of the captains in Venice and let me tell you, they are darn good at what they do! I had to sit down and think a little. Are we different? Are we just another boat on the list? Here is what I came up with –



When you get on our boat to fish – it’s your boat! We will recommend what we think is your best shot for fish that time of year and we will be geared up to catch them but if you have something else in mind – that is fine too! You are paying so YOU ARE THE BOSS! If you want to ride around all day and catch baitfish then we will do our best to put you on the finest baitfish that you have ever seen! I am only making a point that we want to do what you want to do!



Capt. Gray and I fish hard, I mean real hard! We leave the dock every day with one thing on our minds – FISH!! We do not worry about what is the norm, what can we do to get by and get back to the dock early! Let me be the first to say – I love to get back to the dock early but that will only happen when we can not stuff one more fish into the fish box! Other captains will joke with us about how late we get back to the dock some days but you know what, I am proud to say that we give it our all everyday on the water! Does this mean that we catch more fish than every other boat every day? Heck No!! I wish that was how it worked but in offshore fishing, you can never be sure how a day will go! We have had days when nothing could go wrong – I have seen the days that Capt Gray and I hit the dock and our boats have twice the fish of any other boat that fished that day – and then on the other hand – we also fish those days where nothing seems to go right and no matter what we do, what bait we use, where we fish – nothing works! Those are the tough days! There is nothing I hate more than to pull back into that marina with a lite load of fish and watch the customer count out that money! Even though at the end of the day, I know that we have done everything that we can do to find fish, some days it just doesn’t happen and I know that the customer is paying me with his hard earned money! Those days are hard for me! Back to what makes us different – On those hard days I want to be able to hear the customer say – It was a tough day on the water but we sure had a hell of a good time! That’s what it is about for me! I want you to have fun!! Sure – I want you to catch fish, plenty of fish but I want you to have fun! Most days we are on the water anywhere from 12-16 hours and that is a long time to be on a boat not having fun! Music always helps turn a trip into a party so our boats have a rocking stereo system! We have Satellite radio on both boats and we know how to use them!!
