Just got back from a quick little "business" trip down to Cocodrie Louisiana. We fished with the boys from Top Water Lodge. This is a real class operation. They have two nice lodges right on the water, with a nice little fleet of boats.
We had two days of fishing and got into some fantastic Bull Red, Sail Cat, and Black Drum fishing. Here are a few shots from the trip. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to sneak in a run down there. Next time.
Our mornings would start off down at the dock getting the boats/bait/rods all prepared.
Once on the boats, you we take a nice stroll through the bayou, at roughly 40-50mph. We did stop at a few places to soak in some scenery.
Once the sun actually comes up, you can really open the boats up.
Pretty little sunrise over the bayou.
Some spots the Gaff Top Sail Cats were just plain thick. You couldn't get your bait down fast enough to get into the redfish or drum. Here is one of the larger models that we got into.
We also managed to get into some big Reds.
And another nice little red. This guy was pretty torn up, so I had to crop the picture as to not see his tail. They like to roll around the oyster beds.
This was a fun trip, and if you are looking for a place that will work hard to get you into some fish, look up Top Water Lodge. Good times!
