Grand isle the deep water is closer.
We go in a deep V 19' mako and have been 40 miles out of grand isle amd have never found blue enough water for mahi mahi. If you have a shallow nautic star I don't think I would bring it offshore for palegic fishing. Maybe red snapper but then again you can cach red snapper 10-15 miles out of grand isle. I would think you need to be a minimum of 20 miles out of cameron for the same water depth. |

This year we will definitely launch at Fourchon and give it a try. |

I wouldn't try in that small a boat but if you are going to do it I believe going out of fourchon would be a lot better and closer. You would have to prolly go 50 plus miles out of Cameron and Gi

that sounds very dangerous in that small boat. going out of cameron for mahi is a long run.

Let's hook up and run out there together.
Having a buddy boat is the way to go and always makes me feel more confident. |

If the seas are right we are usually out there every saturday and going to try to line up a week of vacation and stay out there a whole week this year. My buddy has a brand new 26' Contender and this will be his first year offshore fishing. We had a few good trip last year: |

I gotta get the humming bird installed with the 360 imaging. The I pilot is gonna be great over that thing. If you can anchor in 70' anchoring off the edge up current from it would be ideal and chum back too it. It's hard to get the groupers out if you right on top of it.

sounds like a bigger boat is the way to go. i been maybe 5 miles out but no more than 10 miles on a calm day. i was a little past the trash line but it was a very calm day.

Those guys are set up and know how to put you on the fish. In my opinion, it is more cost effective to just get a charter than to own a boat that size and all of the equipment it takes. |
