LOUISIANA’S GULF FISHING AUTHORITY
Operating from Venice, Port Fourchon, and Lake Charles, delivering the real Gulf experience from dock to deep water.
The Gulf of America Difference
Gulf of America Outfitters is built for anglers who want the trip to feel as good as the catch looks. We run premium fishing charters along the Gulf Coast with our base in Venice, Louisiana, and seasonal trips out of Port Fourchon and Lake Charles. Offshore is where we built our name, and it shows in how we plan, how we run, and how we fish. When the mission is tuna, swordfish, wahoo, mahi, snapper, grouper, and deepwater species, we put you in the right water with the right setup. When you want inshore action, we run day trips that stay tight to what the conditions give us and keep rods working. You bring the crew. We bring the gear, the experience, and a trip you will talk about long after the dock photos.
WHERE IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
This is not a casual day on the water. It’s big runs, real fights, and the kind of action that turns a regular trip into a story you tell for years. If you want premium charter fishing in Louisiana done the right way, let’s make it happen.
TRIPS BUILT FOR THE GULF
Every trip is built around season, conditions, and what you want to target. Offshore trips are available year round from Venice, with seasonal offshore options from Port Fourchon and Lake Charles. Inshore trips run from Venice year round, with seasonal inshore options from Lake Charles. If you want the full Gulf experience, we offer everything from full-day offshore runs to overnight trips, plus full-day inshore trips when you want nonstop casting and steady bites. Every trip is guided, gear is included, and the goal is simple. Put you on fish and run a trip that feels premium from start to finish.

Bottom Fishing Trips

THE DIFFERENCE IS IN THE DETAILS
Most websites say the same things. Here is what actually matters. We run a premium operation with crews who know the Gulf and do not cut corners. You get clear communication before the trip, a clean setup, quality gear, and a team that stays on the hunt all day. Offshore trips run on a Freeman center console boats built for serious Gulf days. Inshore trips run on 23 foot Kenner or 23 foot Hanie boats that are dialed for Louisiana waters. Add premium rods, reels, tackle, live bait, ice, fish cleaning and filleting, plus the safety gear and electronics you want offshore, and you get a trip that feels like it is supposed to.
WHAT WE CHASE
If you are coming to Louisiana with a fish list, you are in the right place. Venice is one of the most proven launching points in the Northern Gulf for trophy-class offshore opportunities, and our trips are built around the species that make this coast famous. Depending on the season, you can target yellowfin tuna, swordfish, wahoo, mahi mahi, snapper, grouper, tilefish, queen snapper, and more.
