Venice Tuna Fishing

Wintertime Tunas off Louisiana

The most reliable place on the planet to catch yellowfin and blackfin tunas is offshore Venice, Louisiana. Venice is located advantageously at the mouth of the mighty Mississippi River. And as fall turns to winter, Gulf of Mexico lump fishing is what it’s all about. How good is it?
