Best Deep Sea Fishing Fishing Spots in Cocodrie
From legendary bays to productive reefs, here are the top deep sea fishing fishing spots your captain will target in the Cocodrie area.
South Timbalier Rigs
The South Timbalier oil and gas platforms begin roughly 20 miles south of Cocodrie, providing some of the quickest offshore rig-fishing access in all of Louisiana. Red snapper, amberjack, cobia, king mackerel, and ling congregate around the platform legs and crossbeams in large numbers during summer and fall. Cocodrie's position at the end of the road gives anglers a significant head start in reaching these productive offshore platforms.
Midnight Lump
Midnight Lump is a towering underwater geological formation roughly 80 miles south of the Terrebonne coast, creating upwelling currents that attract yellowfin tuna, blue marlin, and wahoo. The lump's summit rises dramatically from the surrounding Gulf floor, concentrating baitfish and pelagic predators in a defined area. Cocodrie's southern position provides one of the shortest runs to Midnight Lump, making it the preferred launch point for many bluewater charter operations.
Grand Isle Blocks
The Grand Isle oil and gas blocks lie southeast of Cocodrie in federal waters, with clusters of platforms creating extensive artificial reef habitat. Red snapper, greater amberjack, cobia, king mackerel, and barracuda hold on the rig structure, while mahi-mahi and blackfin tuna patrol the open water between platforms. Multi-rig hopping trips from Cocodrie target several platforms in succession to maximize the species count and limit catches.
The Green Canyon Edge
The Green Canyon area represents the continental shelf edge south of Terrebonne Parish, where the bottom plunges from the shallow shelf into deepwater canyon systems. Yellowfin tuna, swordfish, wahoo, and blue marlin concentrate along the shelf break where temperature gradients and current edges create productive feeding zones. Overnight trips from Cocodrie to the Green Canyon target the Gulf's largest pelagic species in true bluewater conditions.
