Inshore Fishing
Cocodrie / DuLarge in South Central Louisiana
dularge redfishing hey guys ive been fishing down in dularge pretty often over past few weeks and been getting easy limits of reds. we have been fishing upper dularge around the jug lake area. dont get me wrong, catching limits of reds is always awesome but we have been doing it on the bottom with frozen shrimp, and many of ya'll know that my passion is fishing for them in shallow areas up in ponds and stuff. we are going down their either tomorrow or wednesday and i was wandering if the fishing on the northern bank of Lake Mechant is good for reds?? i don't need any spots or anything at all i can find my own spots, i just want to know if the reds are in mechant. i will be using plastics, spinner baits, and maybe a gold spoon. thanks guys and god bless

RhinoFish My keel leak (I'm embarrassed to say) started out a s hairline crack seperation on a 22' fiberglass bay boat due to the rubber v mounted on the trailer was split down the middle but looked fine upon inspection. I was putting the boat on the trailer and hitting bare metal against the keel. On Last Friday night I split it open - But launched Saturday morning without checking damage thoroughly. -
I'll be learning all about epoxy fiberglassing starting this weekend so if you guys would not mind to leave me a few for my next trip.
Has anyone road out to the islands (Last or coon point) to see how bad the oil is or isn't?
Hawgs I fish the sister lake side with my fishing buddy. I will try to hit the Jug lake side one day. I am sure u need to know where to go because of low tide. It would be nice to go to the camp and catch some Hawgs in the fall!
. Yeah, I fought off the kid/fishing blues 3 times but came thru in the end...
In the fall and winter, I fish all the back, deeper canals just off the grass edges and catch the hawgs...let them all bounce around in windy Decade picking around for them pecker specks! the canals are protected from the wind and hold bigger, better fish.
Jug I heard its a HOTT spot in the fall. I am on that side because of the camp. I am trying to learn how to fish that side. I just don't get enough time to fish it. When u get a new addition in the family it kinds of slows down your fishing time!LOL Not that I mind, They grow fast anyway.
Whats up... how u been??? I see u been racking up again on them REDS. I am going to be making my first trip down there this weekend. I noticed that theirs not going to be much of a tide range this weekend. SO where has the hot spot been this summer? I am looking to put my wife on some REDS. She has not caught one in 2 years. She is losing her intrest in fishing. I hoping we have a good weekend. This might be the first and last time this year that I go. My boat is on its last leg and I am not ready to buy another one yet. Hopefuly I will have one by next spring. If yall around this weekend stop by the camp.
Hackberry Area (Southeast of Sister Lake) We had 2 boats (4 guys) catch roughly 15-20 redfish last Friday even & Saturday morning, I had a huge keel leak open up and the only way we could keep fishing was to hot wire extra bilge pumps. This kinda took our mind off of fishing early Saturday.
Dead shrimp did better than spinnerbaits. TRout were hard to find -although I've heard of 5 man limits at Cocodrie.
Good luck
thanks guys thanks ya'll. and fishduk have heard that the lake boudreaux area is on fire, maybe ill head over that way next week. and man you must really know what ur doing because ive tried bass fishing in lake de cade several time with absolutely no luck what so ever. o well maybe bass fishing ain't my thing, but i like to think that i can hold my own when it comes to redfishing. i guess it will be an adventure going into new territory farther south in mechant and hopefully it turns out well for us. oo yea and DUCK SEASON HURRY UP FOR GOODNESS SAKE!
Dularge Area Red Fish Fliesitdies,
U have to learn when to fish them,falling tide runouts,many in the Lake Mechant Area,Satardy fore last Stayed in Lake Decade ,got tired of red fish after limit,then caught bass,culled 35 or so to keep 20 14' to 16',U DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO FISH THE PONDS,SHORE LINE LOST LAKE ,EGALE LAKE ,LIL DUCE JUST A FEW OF THE SPOTS TO TRY. Heck by your duck hole and around Lke Boudreaux is pretty good right now!!! c~~~~~~u~~~n~~the quack,quack season!!!!!
Mechant reds Fished North and South Mechant for Reds and only managed a few past couple weeks on two trips....although I don't fish with live or bait shrimp. Fish I did catch were on holographic swimbaits and spinner baits... May have been the days I've fished because it was same days that even Mr. Lake struggled. I've never fished Jug lake area ponds but seems like you've done well there and if I were you I'd stick to those fish! Good Luck!
