Inshore Fishing in Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana
This is just a approximate location of where I was.

This is just a approximate location of where I was.

Lake Decade Submerged Object

Boaters beware, I hit a submerged object in Lake Decade. I was across Lake Decade running approximately 100-150 yards off of the rock jetties past the Cajun Bahama's. I was almost or at the end of the Jetties when I struck what appears to be a solid metal object under the water. I know there used to be a well head in this approximate area that has been removed. Has anyone else hit this object before? As there is a ton of boat traffic in this area. I want to send a special thanks to everyone at Southern Outdoors Marine in Thibodaux for getting my boat fixed ASAP. Excellent customer service, and they sell the best boats on the market!! Go check them out.

Thanks

Thanks Captain. I was wondering if there was any debris left over after they removed the wellhead. Sorry you had problems, thanks for helping the rest of us out.

Coordinates

Well I finally had some time yesterday after scouting/catching to run over to Decade to find the submerged object I hit back in October. Looking at Sonar it appears to be a pipe sticking up from the bottom. Approx 5 ft of water and it seems the object is about 2 feet below the surface. My prop actually hit it while idling looking for it.

Coordinates: N29 22 797
W090 54 090

It is almost 100 yards off the bank at the end of the rock jetties right past the Cajun Bahamas. Be careful if your in that area.

Underwater Pipe

Capt Marty,

Do you know if this pipe is marked with anything or is it still hidden? I was in the area Friday and did not see any poles sticking out the water in that area. Thanks with any help on this.

Underwater obstruction

I'm going fishing there tomorrow and if someone will give me the gps coordinates I'll drive a piece of pvc in the mud next to it. May save someone some damage or worse.

Any reports on what the trout are doing?

No Marker

Nothing is marking the spot. I did not have any pipes with me when I went to look for it. GPS coordinate are above in previous comment. Be careful.
