They’re good, though sporadic as the erosion process soldiers
on, attractors of baitfish and shrimp — and in turn speckled
trout.
The fish aren’t generally as big or present in the huge numbers
of beach fish on the other side of the big water.
They are, however, an out-
standing option for small boat
anglers willing to take a small
leap of faith in reaching them. ■

C


ocodrie and sleepy, less-known jumping-off spots
such as Montegut and Isle de Jean Charles servicing
the area to the east are the only options for entry
until one reaches Larose and Golden Meadow on the
other side.
Also, anglers wishing to access the aforementioned West
Timbalier area from Cocodrie — and in conjunction Dulac
— pass well to the west in open water of any fishing area they
might get an idea about when going out or coming in.
Tucked away off the beaten track to many is a classic but
increasingly broken network of islands that often beget shell
reefs before being swept away forever.

The Dularge area is more of a numbers game, so when a big girl
hits it’s truly special.
