Fish Reports Venice, LA - MGFC

Many people send us emails and facebook questions asking what it’s like to spend a day with Mexican Gulf Fishing Co. We tell them, it’s like any other good day you’ve had, … only better.

Half joking of course, and half serious. A day fishing with any of our five captains is as good as you want it to be. Mother nature doesn’t always cooperate, but we are always able to show our charters a grand time. We know it isn’t a secret that we’re almost always able to put our charters on big fish, … lots of them, too.

blue marlin and yellowfin tuna. that's what fishing with travis mayeux in venice is all about.

Captain Travis Mayeux, who runs the f/v Sweat Shop for MGFC, has had a rock solid March, and a great start this April.

Not to be outdone by Capt. Jordan Ellis’ recent marlin escapade, Travis put two of his charters on nice fish with back-to-back trips last week.

Jarrett Barnett was the first to hit. Fishing on a Monday, while chumming for yellowfin tuna, Mayeux thought he saw a blue marlin lurking below.

“I thought for sure we had seen one earlier in the day, and this time I was positive,” says Travis. “I dropped an extra large hard tail down on a bomb and she just smoked it on the way down.”

That fish hit so hard, so fast, and so close to the boat, it was almost boat side in first five minutes.

yellowfin tuna venice, la. Winter fishing for yellowfin tuna is strong. MGFC photoYellowfin tuna can be found year round out of Venice, LA, but water temperature has a great deal to do with an abundance of the species. When the weather turns cool, the fish seem to be plentiful and hungry. Winter isn’t kind to much of the USA, but, it’s always pretty manageable down here.

In Venice — it’s not Sunny and 80+ in January and February — but, we have good water conditions for yellowfin tuna, and air temps are pretty kind to us, too, considering the snow drifts in Boston, and the frigid cold in the Midwest.

Most of the fish that swim on top migrate to warmer waters in cold months, but not yellowfin tuna. These bad boys stick around, and they’re big. Friggin nice and big.

Just ask Josh Friedman and his friends. They booked a February trip with Capt. Jordan Ellis on the ShockWave, a 40-ft Freeman BoatWorks catamaran run by MGFC.
