Cocodrie in my Tin boat
Posted on 6/1/15 at 3:11 pm
Posted on 6/1/15 at 3:11 pm
Hi All,
I would like you to please share info with me on fishing Cocodrie. I have never been there, I have a 16 foot tin boat. I currently fish the point in the fall and Henderson if the water would start falling, but would like to learn some place new for specks/reds.
It is a 2.5 hour drive from Lafayette, so I imagine I will need to stay at one of the marinas, I see 4 on Google maps in Dulac/cocodrie...any recommendations? I am happy to try and catch my own bait, so any suggestions for that and where I can start dropping a line would be appreciated.
I may take a road trip down there soon to scope it out, or I suppose I could do a half day charter and ask them to give me a tour of the area.

No reason to go down there this time of year unless just red fishing inside. I would book a fall trip w guide to learn the inside waters that you can get to in the Tin Boat.....

I had to look up what a tin boat is. Trout are all over in the outer bays and lakes right now. Nice trout, too.
You can almost always find reds in the marshes. Look at Google Earth and pick a spot. It takes time and practice to learn an area.

An individual at your place of employment who is given a position of high standing, but is completely undeserving for reasons of incompetence, ineffectiveness, or a broad ignorance of subjects that are at the core of his/her responsibilities. A highpocket is someone who has the aforementioned traits, and wears his/her pants up high in a display of smug self-satisfaction. Sometimes suspendors or a tight belt produces this effect. A highpocket is generally despised by those who perform actual work, since a highpockets tends to do tedious, unimportant work and thoroughly laud themselves for what they believe to an outsanding contribution.

I don't know what the name of it is now, but there is an outfit at the end of the road in cocodrie that has lodging, a resturant, and fishing guides...
I would recommend you go there, spend the night, and get a guide to take you around the local marsh...just tell them what you are trying to do and they generally will help you out, as they know you'll be staying there on future trips...

Coco Marina and Boudreaux's have rooms but they aren't cheap. Lots of marsh to fish right out of both. I'd only go in the marsh with a boat that size. You might find a hotel in Houma for a better price. About a 30 minute ride.
Shrimp under a cork and you'll limit out on reds.

Cocon is fine. Boudreauxs if youre on a budget and, well, whatever.
Theres trout to be caught near the marina, and more trout south of there.
Theres no easy way to type the info. Just go, ask, learn a little more each trip.
Its a great place to learn and explore Letus know when youre going. We might can meet you and point you south.

If I'm not mistaken the term highpockets means an old wooden ship

Dafuq is a tin boat?

I never brought a radio in my boat in the marsh around there, there's pretty good cell reception in the Cocodrie area. I even get 4g down there. It's a good place to learn. I'd launch at the Coco Marina and head a little North back into the marsh. Google maps is your friend for finding spots. I've caught plenty of reds in paddling distance of there, so there's no reason a "tin boat" can't make it. You are in sight of Lumcon the entire time, so hard to get lost.

Tin boat = Aluminium boat. Thought everyone knew that.
Highpockets, one of my many nicknames over the years. I have no butt so I pull my pants up a little higher...not grandpa high though.

I have an aluminum boat. I've taken it all the way down the mrgo rocks. And all around dulac this past weekend. That being said, in such a small boat you may wanna wait until fall to worry about specks.
