Ready to wet a line in some of the Gulf's most productive waters? Our 4-hour offshore trip out of Grand Isle, Louisiana is just the ticket. We'll zip you out to the hotspots where the big boys play - we're talking oil rigs, grass lines, and deep-water haunts where trophy fish love to hang out. Whether you're a seasoned angler or it's your first time holding a rod, our expert guides will put you on the fish and make sure you have a blast doing it. With Bentrod Fishing Charters, you're in for a world-class fishing experience that'll have you hooked from the moment we leave the dock.

What to Expect on the Water

As soon as we clear the marina, it's game on. We'll cruise out to the prime fishing grounds, where the Gulf of Mexico serves up some of the best action you'll find anywhere. You'll be dropping lines near massive oil rigs that act like fish magnets, or working the grass lines where predators lurk. Our captain knows these waters like the back of his hand, so we'll waste no time getting to where the fish are biting. You'll be using top-notch gear, rigged and ready for whatever's swimming below. And don't worry if you're new to this - our crew is there to show you the ropes, from baiting hooks to landing your catch. With a max of 6 guests, you'll get plenty of personalized attention and time to reel in the big one.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

Offshore fishing in Grand Isle is a whole different ball game from your typical lake or pier fishing. We'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species. For those coveted Red Snapper, we might drop bait to the bottom or jig around structure. When we're after Yellowfin Tuna, get ready for some high-energy topwater action or trolling with spread. Cobia fishing? Keep your eyes peeled - these curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving you a shot at sight-casting. We'll switch up our tactics based on what's biting, using everything from live bait to artificial lures. It's all about adapting to the conditions and outsmarting those fish, and our guides have got it down to a science.

What Anglers Are Saying

"We didn't have the best conditions for a fishing trip but Captain Trey put his best effort in to put us on some fish. Hoping to book another trip with him in the near future. This was our first offshore fishing charter in the Gulf so it was a new experience for us. Besides the rough water it was a good day fishing." - Ryan

Species You'll Want to Hook

Greater Amberjack: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the reef, often called "reef donkeys" for their stubborn fights. Amberjack can grow over 100 pounds and are known for their powerful runs that'll test your stamina. They hang around oil rigs and deep reefs, typically in waters 60 to 240 feet deep. Spring and fall are prime times to target these monsters. When you hook one, get ready for a battle - it's why so many anglers come back just for these bad boys.

Cobia: Also known as ling or lemonfish, cobia are the opportunists of the Gulf. These curious fish often swim right up to the boat, giving you a chance for some exciting sight-fishing. They're fast growers, reaching up to 6 feet and 100 pounds. Cobia season kicks off in spring when they migrate along the coast. Their firm, white flesh makes them a prized catch for the dinner table, and their hard-fighting nature means you're in for a real treat when one takes your bait.

Yellowfin Tuna: The speedsters of the deep, yellowfin tuna are the holy grail for many offshore anglers. These torpedo-shaped fish can reach speeds of 50 mph and weights over 200 pounds. We target them year-round, but fall and winter often see the biggest specimens. Yellowfin love to hang around oil rigs and underwater structures. When you hook one, be prepared for screaming reels and an arm-burning fight. The reward? Some of the best sashimi-grade meat you'll ever taste.

Red Snapper: The poster child of Gulf fishing, red snapper are as beautiful as they are delicious. With their bright red color and tasty white flesh, they're always a welcome sight on the end of a line. These fish love structure, so we'll be fishing near reefs and rigs. The season is tightly regulated, but when it's open, it's non-stop action. Red snapper can grow up to 40 pounds, but even the smaller ones put up a great fight. Their firm texture and sweet flavor make them a top pick for fish tacos or a classic blackened fillet.

Scamp Grouper: Often overlooked but never underappreciated, scamp grouper are the connoisseur's choice. These bottom-dwellers have a mottled brown coloration that helps them blend in with the rocky substrate they call home. Scamp are typically found in deeper waters, usually over 200 feet. They're known for their initial burst of speed when hooked, trying to dive back into their rocky lairs. The meat is white, flaky, and considered by many to be the best-tasting of all the groupers. We target them year-round, but they're especially active in the warmer months.
