Advice for a Cocodrie rookie
Posted on 6/11/17 at 12:43 pm
Posted on 6/11/17 at 12:43 pm
So I've got an 18ft. CC and I want to take it down to Cocodrie to explore the area and maybe catch a few fish. I'm a little nervous about running out to/past the islands with a smaller boat and not knowing the area. Not new to boating; just haven't fished the coast much. Any advice for a newbie on the do's and don'ts around there? Do I have to go out to the islands or can I catch closer in? Any and all advice greatly appreciated.

What size gas tank do you have? Aluminum or fiberglass boat?

You don't need to run past the island. There are plenty places to fish in Lake Pelto and Terrebonne Bay

Cocodrie is pretty far out just to go fishing. There are plenty of closer places to your house. Just sayin'.

I personally would get a guide a time or two to learn how to navigate the area, as it can be tricky.

18' should be fine, just pick your days. Me and my buddy fish out of a 19' nautical star.

We usually burn 15 - 20 gallons going to Timbalier. But that's with a Yamaha 200 2 stroke. I think you would be OK going to the island and anywhere before that, just pick calm days. No need to go past the island.

Thx!

You can make it to the islands. You can almost always catch fish on the islands. You gotta go to learn

Hire a guide 2/3 times,,,,well worth it to learn vs going 10-15 times to finally get a feel for the place
