In the late fall months and early spring months they come in to spawn on a sea mount called the midnight lumps(Sackett Bank), 19 miles out. My last trip to the lumps we started fishing at 7:30 by 11:30 we had 12 tuna, smallest at 100 lbs, largest at 158lbs. we stayed till 3:30 and added 23 blackfin. Louisiana is by far one of the premier Yellowfin fisheries in the world if you want a world class fishing trip w/out breaking the bank look into it.

It isn't that far away guys. look at a map and get over here. The Mississippi Delta built a landbridge almost to the edge of the continental shelf. Venice is about a 45 minute run from the open gulf down the Mississippi, but a V is plenty of boat to do it in reasonable weather. Been there and done that, it's on the opposite side of the state from me and worth the trip. If you get there and the weather sucks, there's almost always a lee shore with shallow rigs that hold more fish than most people can imagine. Venice is at the end of LA Hwy 23 and has everything you need on a fishing trip. It lost everything a few years ago in Hurricane Katrina but they're ready again. Just watch the speed limits on Hwy 23, the Plaquemines Parish cops run a tight ship.
