Where Cocodrie Fishing Charters Go
Cocodrie sits at the south end of Highway 56, right at the edge of open bays, marsh, and barrier islands. Depending on the season, the weather, and what is biting, Cocodrie charter captains and fishing guides out of Chauvin, LA fish waters like Terrebonne Bay, Lake Pelto, Lake Barre, Lake Boudreaux, the barrier islands at Last Island (Isles Dernieres) and Timbalier Island, and the nearshore Gulf rigs.
What You Can Catch
Most trips target speckled trout and redfish, along with a mix of other inshore and nearshore species depending on the season. This is a year-round fishery, and your captain will put you on whatever is biting while you are here.
