Cocodrie is well below the brackish water line and is all saltwater, I never seen a gator down there. I do see gators in some of the areas I fish like Reggio but have never had any trouble from them.

@Radrc66 I've seen pretty massive gators on the west side of the road, like across from fish heads charters. But awesome dude I'm bringing my kayak this weekend. That is definitely some relief

Almost didn’t upload a video from this trip, but got to show not every trip is successful. Still had a good trip and looking forward to the next one.

@@sb4743 thanks for the comment. I’m guilty of not changing lures even with two other rods on the kayak.

@@Youthfulnostalgia sorry no manufacturer tag on net. I believe I got it at Bass Pro a few years ago. The net is nylon but is rubber coated which helps hooks not getting hung up in it.

@@Radrc66 thank you! I’m gonna try to find one there. Looking for a bigger net than what I’ve got

@@raybrdjr water is 2’ or less most places I fish in Reggio. I use a 1/4 oz gold spoon, it doesn’t fall as fast when I vary my retrieve.

I fished ponds off the Schooner Canal. The farthest from the launch on this trip was 2 miles.

@@raybrdjr I caught a limit yesterday by 8. Should have left then, heat ran me off water by 11.

I was within 3/4 of a mile from marina. Easy kayak fishing.

@@MalayGhoseHajra Hwy 23 south of Belle Chase right before you get to Port Sulphur. I fish with a weedless gold spoon 90 % of the time.

Never heard of Kaku kayaks. Looked them up , you have the pedal drive?

I use a weed less gold spoon when fishing Reggio. Work the spoon right through the grass.

Hobie Compass . Launched from D’ Boat Launch in Reggio Louisiana.

I have to honest I had to google SEO (search engine optimization). Thanks for watching.

Started the day with a spinner bait but was picking up to much grass. Switched to weedless gold spoon until I limited out. Switched to a weedless willow leaf underspin jig with a green crawdad. Still only caught reds but was targeting bass with the crawdad.

@@Radrc66 sweet, man! great video! I was in that area this weekend kayaking and caught only one bass Friday eve. Went sat morn at daylight till 10am and missed one red that got off the hook midway to boat and the bass would lazily hit the spinnerbait! the same story the guy had at the dock when you got back...haha!

@@raybrdjr the weedless gold spoon is the key down at Reggio and Delacroix. Work that spoon through the thickest weeds, the reds are in the grass.

Yeah , Henderson holding 16.4 on the Pelba gauge. I will likely go to Henderson once Pelba is 14 and falling and will stay on the east side.

We typically do not get from under the camper so the camper goes where we go. If we take a kayak it has to be trailered, can't get away from pulling something either way you go.

I saw some drone footage of Pat's and Kern's Landing. Pat's was hit hard and the camper and house boats at Kern's got hit pretty hard. Vacation this week and will be trying out Cocodrie early in the week and PAC later.

@@Radrc66 Good luck!! Looks like good weather. Great spots!!

Yeah, I covered a lot of water . Picked up one here and there.

The reel is a Zebco Omega and the rod is H2O Express 5’ 6”.

We always camp there at the trailhead.

It is a Ram-Tube . It mounts on a Ram mount ball.

Thank you for your comment. The base is 6x6's and the supports that hold the trusses are double 2x8's. Trusses are 2x4's.

We had an extremely hot and dry summer that may have affected this shallow water area. I have not fished there since June or so.

I designed these on Tinkercad so basically I'm not allowed to sell/profit on the free license version of program. I uploaded the final versions to Thingiverse which you can download for free and print. Search Radrc66 and it will take you to my design page. Final design was 5" riser in front and 2" in back. Makes the Hobie Compass comfortable to fish out of now.

@@Radrc66 thank you very much. May I ask what year your Compass is? I have a 22’ and am wondering if the Native seat will fit it. I was told that the mold was slightly changed after they made the latest switch to the current seat. Thanks again.

My Compass is 2020. I know seat was changed and imagine hull was also modified. It is shame that the Compass seat it bad for so many people.

I plan on showing closeups of the lures I'm using in future videos. Thanks for watching.

Wish I would have got more hook sets. Next time I will not be rigged up weedless.

@@Radrc66 I feel you but man that video was perfect! It showed the good the bad and the ugly parts of fishing!

Summertime can be some tough fishing. The way I fish there in spring won’t catch many fish in this summer heat. Got to fish deep water when surface temperatures are 91 degrees.

7' Abu Garcia Vendetta rod medium heavy fast tip. The reel is an Abu Garcia Revo X 30" per turn.

Louisiana marsh south of Houma. Launched from Coco Marina.

I have been having in on all the time. Most effective during the day when mud daubers are active.

@@Radrc66 I just put mine out. I never thought they were attracted to it. This is the first year I've ever had problems with wasps, hornets, and mud daubers. Thanks for sharing.
