Do you realize yellowfin tuna fishing charters in Louisiana are a year round thing out of Venice, LA? You’ve heard that MGFC is the charter company to book when you want to catch big yellowfin tuna in Louisiana, but did you know  you can catch yellowfin tuna whether it’s January-February, or April through June?

In fact, some of the biggest fish move into northern gulf waters in winter months. Making yellowfin tuna fishing charters an ideal gift to give this Christmas and holiday season. Yellowfin tuna fishing charters in Louisiana with the MGFC — is a year-round thing.

Fish with MGFC from December through March. You won’t work on your tan, but you will work on your quads, your biceps, and your beer drinking, too! This is the time of year for big fish. This is the time of year for legendary yellowfin tuna fishing charters in Louisiana. And, we’ve got boats ready for you. The Pale Horse, The Wild Bill, The ShockWave, and Contagious.

Capt. Billy Wells and Colin Byrd have nailed it all summer, and they’ve brought in some nice sized fish in recent weeks despite a string of prolonged, nasty weather. Capt. Kevin Beach keeps doing his thing, which we all know means fishing like a mad man, acting like gonzo, and keeping everyone on board hanging on his every word. Capt. Jordan Ellis keeps putting his charter groups on large quantities of yellowfin tuna, but he never goes more than a few days without also targeting swordfish, and he can’t wait to get into some wahoo fishing, too.

Capt. Zach Lewis, the newest member of MGFC’s yellowfin tuna fishing charters wrapped his first full summer with us, and let’s just say “we learned a thing or two about Capt. Zach.” One, he’s full throttle and determined as all get out. Two, he loves putting customers on yellowfin tuna, and three — he’s got a few tricks up his sleeve that impressed us — and we’ve been doing this full-time for 20+ years.

Huk Gear made a big splash into Louisiana recently when it signed on as a sponsor of the Mexican Gulf Fishing Company.

It’s most visible entry includes full sidewall boat wraps on the f/v Pale Horse (captained by Kevin Beach), and the f/v Wild Bill (captained by Billy Wells and Colin Byrd). Both boats, 37-foot Freeman Boatworks catamarans, we’re emblazoned with Huk’s camo background, offshore game fish illustrations, and branding marks for Huk, MGFC and Freeman.

Drew Herma, of Huk Gear / Marolina, says, “the thing about Huk is that we design clothing for anglers by anglers. Whether it’s fly fishing in Montana or being out on the Gulf with the Captains at MGFC, Huk wants to be where fishermen are. Everyone within Huk is part of the fishing community. All of our team is passionate about fishing. We built a brand of high performance outdoor gear, designed specifically for the needs of the fishing community.”

Huk has managed to turn clothing into gear. Its line of high performance, anti microbial, moisture wicking and stain resistant clothing is soon to be a fisherman’s best friend. It already is for MGFC.

Swordfish are known as denizens of the deep, dark sea. They live at great depths, only rarely come up to the top half of the water column, and they most often feed at night.

Going for swordfish is always an adventure. It’s even more so when you target swordfish during the day. It’s quite a treat, which requires patience, skill, precision, and an alert attitude by everyone on the boat.

The captains at Mexican Gulf Fishing Co. have all caught their fair share of daytime swordfish. This summer is no exception, but through May — the swordfish action has been frequent — and rewarding.
