Cocahoe Minnow Workshop flyer and registration form.

Schedule of events.

This will be a demonstrative hands-on workshop hosted by the LSU AgCenter and Louisiana Sea Grant focusing on pond and tank culture, distribution and selling of cocahoe minnows, Fundulus grandis, as live baitfish.

Live bait for saltwater angling in Louisiana is a seasonally available commodity, due to the reliance on wild-caught bait. Cultured cocahoe minnows could help supplement the wild-caught baitfish supply, and be a valuable revenue source for cocahoe growers.

The cocahoe minnow is popular bait for redfish, speckled trout, flounder and many other species. Lunch and snacks will be provided.

This workshop is offered in part due to the coordinating effort of the LSU AgCenter and Louisiana Sea Grant.

This event is free but pre-registration is required by September 20, 2010. Please fill out the registration information below under Related Files and send in by email, phone, fax, or mail. Email or phone is preferred.
