MLF returns to La. - Natchez/Vidalia edition

There be SPOILERS below
So, the first episode was on Black River lake and Cocodrie lake with everything in betweeen available to fish. Kriet said,
None of them had ever been before. It was September and post front. The place was fished as one would expect-hard cover with a mixture of cranks, spinner baits and soft plastics. Most fished BRL. Brauer fished Workinger. Takahiro did well in the mud in Cocodrie. Not as many spots were weighed as I expected to see. No one fished deep. I thought maybe A-aron would back off with a drop shot, but I never saw him do it.
No idea where they go next.

Border towns can be mysterious places, which is why Major League Fishing’s visit to the border towns of Natchez, Miss., and Vidalia, La., along the Mississippi River is a perfect location to instill mystery back into the MLF Challenge Cup.

“Look!” he said with a grin. “It looks like someone drew a noodle next to a horseshoe. This looks like something I’d draw trying to play Pictionary.”

Watched it this weekend. Kinda cool seeing them fish the same spots and techniques I do.
Im curious if anyone else that watched it noticed, but it stood out to me the amount of garbage on the banks compared to other lakes you see them fish. Discarded bicycles, old rafts, etc. Maybe I just noticed it more because of the location.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. Not as bad as SE La. but La. does have a problem.

Its a shame how accustomed we are to fishing a bank and seeing numerous plastic bottles and trash along it. All through the basin you find it even deep in the swamps

Skeet started wearing them out on the plopper at the end.

Seent that. Mine is still waiting to catch a fish.

Were they pronouncing cocodrie correctly? Is the pronunciation different the than the one on the coast?
coco-dree vs. co-cah-dree
coco-dree vs. co-cah-dree

They were saying Druh instead of Dree. Only explanation I can come up with is they asked some old local who over time doesn't pronounce it correctly. But yes, the coco is also different. Up here it's CUH-co-dree, not COKE-uh-dree.

I tried to google map the place but it kept directing me to a Cocodrie Lake in Evangeline parish

Black river lake will take you there.

It was a good watch. I love the MLF shows.
I found it was interesting to read that even Hackney (who wasnt on the first episode) didnt have any experience fishing that area.
Will be interesting to see how it shapes up.

The only time I have fished there was because I was forced to.

I love me some Jeff Kreit. That dude is funny to me.
