Kayak Fishing in Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana

New Member + A Report from 9/28/2012

Thought I'd introduce myself, I'm new to Louisiana and to this forum. I recently got a job in LA and moved from FL. I work offshore some of the time, and work at the office/dock some of the time. I've been an avid fisherman almost since I was old enough to walk. I've got into kayak fishing a few years ago and like to go any chance I get.

I was out paddling the marshes for a couple hours in Cocodrie this past Friday and got a red, 30+ lbs black drum, and a bunch of little trout so I thought I'd share some pics.

Nice!

Nice job on the fish and welcome to the forum and Louisiana!

As someone once said, 'I've seen Florida's pristene water; that's what water looks like when you take all the fish out of it! (lol)

You will find Louisiana to be a 'yak fishing paradise. I'm an avid 'yak fisherman myself and the opportunities to 'yak fish in this state are endless.

nice

i bet it is fun to catch them big strong fish in a yak, pulling you all over the place like a 12 foot bobber, got to be more in touch with the fishing than being in a regular boat, i don't think i would have put that big nasty on my lap though hahaha

Thanks for the welcome ya'll! I'm enjoying the fishing here so far and plan to do plenty more!


P.S. Not oil, just the reflection of a cloud.
