Midnight Lump

The Midnight Lump

The Midnight Lump is reputable for its excellent salt water sport fishing. It is located about 50 miles southwest of Venice, LA, the notorious fishing capital of the Gulf Coast. The trick is getting there, or finding a fishing charter to get you there. The lump is known to be the best tuna fishing spot in the entire country. The lump is located on top of a large salt dome that covers roughly 2 square miles, which is how it earned its name “The Midnight Lump”. Because of this dome, the ocean floor becomes drastically shallower (between 200 and 250 feet), which is what causes the ocean currents to trap smaller fish in the area, attracting larger fish like tuna and marlin. The Midnight Lump brings the best Gulf Coast fishing that anyone could offer. At Paradise Outfitters, we can charter you to this spot, and with our highly knowledgeable captains, we can ensure that you get the maximum experience from your trip to the lump.

All you can catch:

• Tuna
• Mahi-Mahi
• Marlin
• Wahoo
• Sailfish

The Lump is at the top of a large salt dome, is located approximately 50 miles southwest off the coast of Venice, Louisiana and is legendary for great bluewater fishing. The combination of shallower waters (depth ranges between 200 and 250 ft.) and the large schools of bait fish that get caught in the current is what makes fishing on the Lump great. It is a major feeding sight for some of the largest yellowfin tuna found in the Gulf of Mexico.
