This is the Cocodrie Charters Fishing Team. These guys define the word team. All of the guides work together to accomplish one goal: to make your trip an enjoyable experience. Each guide has numerous years of charter fishing experience in the Cocodrie area. They are there to help, not have you watch them fish.

Common Fish We Catch
In Cocodrie

The most popular fish caught in Cocodrie is the speckled trout. We fish for specks year round but the summer months are the prime time. We normally catch school trout from 3/4 to 2 lbs. Occasionally we will catch some specks that will go up to 5 lbs or more. During the summer we catch sand trout with the specks.

The next popular is redfish. We catch redfish year round. In the marshes the reds will range from 1 lb to about 12 lbs. In the bays and near the islands the bull reds can get as big as 40 lbs. Black drum are caught along with reds inland and at the islands. They can get over 50 lbs.

A variety of other fish are also caught in Cocodrie. We may catch flounders, croakers, catfish, mackerel and tripletails.

The Area that We Fish
The bays and lakes off the coast near Cocodrie are filled
with oil structures, islands and natural reefs. We may
fish any of the waters from Pelican Lake to Timbalier Bay
or we may go north into the vast marshes if the wind is too
bad.
