Went yesterday with a buddy brought home 2 man limit of specks, 20 white trout, 2 flounder. All on plastics, no live bait mostly fishing birds. Trout were mostly small side but did fish one shell island and caught about 10 bigger ones about 18-20 inches. Fish were everywhere though there was a big school of specks with about 50 birds diving in mouth of coco marina when we picked up. We literally caught fish 2 at a time until we stopped fishing at 1pm. Probably threw back 5 specks for each one we kept, cork would go under 3 or 4 times a cast. Also boated 5 Spanish mackerel, a 25 pound jack, and about 20 big gaff tops. We even saw a triple tail but we were running outboard and it went down before we could cast to it.
I used to go to Cocodrie a lot but actually hadn't been in about 6 years so this wasn't a bad trip at all. Probably stayed within 5 minutes of landing.

damn, that sounds like an awesome trip...

I used to have to run a pretty good distance from there to find fish...plenty to be had, though...

We had 4 boats fish out of Cocodrie yesterday. Ended up with around 300 specs between all 4 boats.

We fished mostly the well heads, beaches and underwater hidden reefs. Didnt fish any birds, screw those little trout, we caught all big trout mostly on live bait some were caught on plastics.

Caught a lot of sharks, mackerel and lady fish. I hooked a 5' shark that put on a little show for us before breaking the line. We had a pretty good day.

It was hot but we were all back at the camp for noon so we didnt really feel the heat to bad.
