I just got a boat for offshore fishing and thought about going to Grand Isle this year and hope to go after tuna. I would really love to go after dolphin but don't know if I will ever go out the far. I really don't want to drag my trailer to Venice. I won't ask where your fishing grounds are but how far out frome Grand Isla are you running.

I'm ready for the summer, Duck hunting Sux this year anyway, so bring on the heat! Summer is the best time of year for tuna and dolphin right ?

actually spring is best for wahoo and tuna. Summer is best for Dorado, but tuna & wahoo are still plentiful. Everything slows down around Sept.
