re: Fishing Camp Question

After many years of talking about buying a camp and debating where to settle we decided on Dulac for the following reasons.

1. Fishing. All around good fishing for specks and reds. Although, I think this can be said about a lot of the places mentioned. Will need to run a bit to get to the islands during the summer but I can live with that.

2. Lock/levee system. They are building a series of locks and levees to help protect Dulac (and Houma) from hurricanes.

3. Centrally located between Lafayette, Baton Rouge and New Orleans. I figure I'll only be living in one of these three areas for the rest of my life.

During the summer there's no other place I'd rather been than Grande Isle but it's far from BR/Laf, gets walloped by storms, and shuts down most of the year.

We chose Dulac over Cocodrie because of the storm protection. Also heard that the "soil" in Cocodire has a higher concentration of sand which means your pilings need to be deeper. If someone cut corners and didn't go deep enough you're in for trouble. Can't verify this from my own experience but I've heard this from multiple people.

Like someone else mentioned there's not much else to do in Dulac. You're going to have to make the drive to Houma for any kind of entertainment.
