It's early Sunday mornin', May 3rd, 2026, and the water's callin'. Weather's lookin' prime out there—NOAA says mostly sunny skies, temps climbin' to 82°F with light southeast winds at 5-10 knots, perfect for a day on the brine. Sunrise hit at 6:05 AM, sunset's 7:42 PM, givin' us a solid 13+ hours of prime light. Tides per NOAA are risin' today: low at 4:21 AM, high at 10:37 AM, then droppin' to low around 5:02 PM. That incoming tide 'til mid-morning is gonna push baitfish into the shallows—fish will be feedin' aggressive. Fish activity's hot right now. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reports speckled trout and redfish goin' strong in the estuaries, with recent catches includin' limits of 15-20" specks on reefs off Grand Isle, plus reds up to 30" in the marshes. Black drum and sheepshead are stackin' up near structures, and early reports from Tim's Marina show folks pullin' 10-15 flounder per trip near the MRGO. Jacks and Spanish mackerel are crashin' the surface in 20-40 feet offshore. For lures, my top picks are **gold spoons** like the Johnson Sprite for specks and reds—throw 'em on the troll or retrieve fast. **Soft plastics** such as Gulp! shrimp in chartreuse under a popping cork are killin' it for trout. Live bait? Finger mullet or live shrimp on a Carolina rig can't be beat for bottom feeders. Hit these hot spots: **Catfish Point** for reds and specks in the shallows, or **the Hopedale Lagoon** for flounder and drum—launch from Bayou Liberty and you're golden.

Water temps are running in the upper 60s heading toward 70, and let me tell you, the fish are waking up big time. **Tidal & Weather Conditions** We're looking at a falling tide situation this morning, which is absolutely prime for marsh fishing. Best bite is gonna be at dawn and dusk, so get out there early. North winds are improving water clarity after some recent activity, so conditions are shaping up real nice. **What's Biting** The offshore scene is absolutely on fire right now. Kingfish are stacked thick in the deeper water—tons of fish and a consistent bite all month. Cobia are showing up strong too, so if you're heading out on a charter, those are your money fish. We're also getting reports of solid shark action. Inside the bays and marsh edges, redfish are cruising the drains and edges on that falling tide. Speckled trout are stacking along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu. Flounder are hanging around current-swept pockets. Catfish are active in the deeper river bends. **Best Tactics** For the redfish, use gold spoons and live shrimp near points. Early morning topwaters work great on speckled trout, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun gets up. Slow-roll paddle tails along the bottom for flounder. Cut mullet or crab will get you those hefty bull reds at the jetties. Here's my pro tip: target those marsh drains two hours before and after the falling tide. Position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through the funnel. You'll get aggressive strikes. **Hot Spots** Get yourself to Lake Pontchartrain or Calcasieu for that trout action. For redfish, work the marsh edges around Grand Isle and Venice—those jetties are producing solid bull reds right now. Thanks for tuning in, folks! Make sure you subscribe for more reports.

Weather's lookin' mild today—partly cloudy skies, temps climbin' from 65°F to a comfy 78°F, light southeast winds at 5-10 knots, perfect for hittin' the water without gettin' tossed around. Sunrise was at 6:32 AM, sunset 'round 7:28 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of daylight to chase 'em. Tides in the Gulf near NOLA?

Water temps hoverin' steady at 72-75°F, warmin' up the shallows. Fish activity's heatin' up with spring migration. Recent catches around the Gulf and Mississippi Delta been hot on redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead—folks pullin' limits of 2-5 lb reds on flats, specks up to 4 lbs in marshes, and black drum mixin' in. NOAA and local charter logs from last week report 20-30 fish days near Chandeleur Islands, with flounder showin' early too. Jacks and tripletail crashin' rigs offshore. Best lures?

Walk-the-dog topwaters like Zara Spooks at dawn/dusk for explosive strikes. Live bait kings: shrimp under a poppin' cork or mullet chunks for drum and sheepshead. Fresh cut menhaden if you can net 'em. Hot spots? Hit **MRGO Spillway** for reds pushin' bait on the tide, or **Lake Pontchartrain's north shore reefs**—easy access, loaded with specks.

We're heading into mid-April, and that means the fishing window's still wide open before things slow down toward month's end. The water's warming up nicely, and the fish are active. According to recent reports from Southwest Florida, those pier pilings are holding plenty of fish right now, and we're still in prime time before the seasonal shift happens. For your Gulf action around the New Orleans area, you're looking at some solid opportunities. The Navarre fishing reports show folks are connecting with Spanish mackerel and reds, which tells us these species are moving through our waters. Catfish are also active if you're looking for something a little different. Now, when it comes to what to throw, here's what's working: six-inch boot tail swimbaits and eight-inch soft glides are absolutely crushing it for bigger fish right now. If you're targeting reds and Spanish, live shrimp and mullet are your bread and butter. Don't sleep on topwater either—early morning and late afternoon can produce some explosive strikes. For hot spots, you've got to work the structure. Pier pilings, channel drops, and anywhere you find that current break—that's where the fish stack up. The knockdown areas with slower water are holding serious numbers right now. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for more reports.

Sunrise at 6:25 AM, sunset 7:20 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of daylight. Fish activity's average per solunar forecasts, but recent reports from Great Days Outdoors say creek trout, bay redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, and Spanish mackerel are bitin' strong on calmer days. Captain Experiences out of Panama City Beach notes redfish up to 33 inches slammin' hooks, with water temps risin' to 70 degrees—folks are catchin' limits of reds, sheeps, and snapper daily. Limits on reds and specks, steady keeper trout. Best lures? Go with **gold spoons** or **jerkbaits** for reds and trout—they're tearin' it up in the grass flats. Topwater plugs at dawn for specks.

It's early mornin' on April 17, 2026, and the action's heatin' up in our waters. Tides today show a low around 3:30 AM at about 0 feet, high at 9:15 AM near 2 feet, then droppin' to low at 4:20 PM and high again at 9:15 PM at 1.6 feet—perfect for fish chasin' bait in the shallows, per Tides4Fishing charts. Weather's mild, expect partly cloudy skies with highs in the low 70s, light winds from the south, and a chance of afternoon showers keepin' things calm offshore. Sunrise at 6:25 AM, sunset 7:20 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of daylight. Fish activity's average per solunar forecasts, but recent reports from Great Days Outdoors say creek trout, bay redfish, sheepshead, mangrove snapper, and Spanish mackerel are bitin' strong on calmer days. Captain Experiences out of Panama City Beach notes redfish up to 33 inches slammin' hooks, with water temps risin' to 70 degrees—folks are catchin' limits of reds, sheeps, and snapper daily. Limits on reds and specks, steady keeper trout. Best lures? Go with **gold spoons** or **jerkbaits** for reds and trout—they're tearin' it up in the grass flats. Topwater plugs at dawn for specks.

Fish activity's solid despite the gale—beautiful speckled trout in the 2-4 lb range poppin' up, no huge limits but quality keepers. Puppy drum (those 14-18 inch black drum) are stealin' the show this week, thick in protective waters near Bay St. Louis and our local marshes. Reds are holdin' too, tailin' shorelines waitin' for calmer days. Live shrimp from the bait shops is hot right now—fresh hauls comin' in daily. For lures, go with soft plastics under poppin' corks for trout, gold spoons or paddle tails for reds on the move. Topwaters early, then switch to twitchin' jerkbaits or lipless cranks over oyster beds. Hot spots? Hit the marshes 'round Lake Pontchartrain's oyster reefs and bridge pylons for specks—work 'em slow.

Artificial Lure here, and let me tell you, we're heading into what's shaping up to be a fantastic week on the Gulf. The water temps are spiking, and the fish are responding big time. **Weather & Conditions** We're looking at some gorgeous conditions this week. Winds are settling down out of the east-southeast, which means calmer seas and better fishing. High temps in the low 80s, minimal rain—basically, Mother Nature's giving us the green light. If you've been cooped up the last few weeks waiting for decent weather, now's your time. **What's Biting** The seatrout spawn is absolutely scorching right now across the lagoon systems. These fish are feeding aggressively in the shallows, and they're hungry. Over in the Navarre area, anglers have been connecting with kings and sharks. Port Orange's been solid too—snapper, vermilion, porgies, and triggers all cooperating early in the week. San Diego charters are reporting wahoo on the menu as well. **Best Lures & Bait** For trout, you want to work shallow with topwater plugs and soft plastics in natural colors—whites, silvers, and mullet patterns. Live baitfish like mullet and pinfish are always money in the bank. For the deeper stuff—snapper and vermilion—bring your jigs and live shiners. **Hot Spots** Head to the shallow flats around the lagoon systems for trout—they're in prime spawn mode. Port Orange Causeway Park's been producing consistently with those snapper and porgies. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for more Gulf Coast intel!

Closer in, around the Mississippi Delta and Chandeleur Islands, redfish are schoolin' in shallows, specks (speckled trout) hittin' on the flats, and sheepshead glued to rigs—limits of 15-25 fish boats daily, 2-8 pounds mostly. Jacks and Spanish mackerel crashin' topwater too. Best lures? Throw **gold spoons** or **chrome mirrolures** for trout and reds—twitch 'em slow on the flood tide. For tuna and bottom dwellers, vertical jig 3-4 oz paddle tails or live pinfish on circle hooks. Top baits: fresh shrimp, mullet chunks, or cigar minnows—can't go wrong. Hit these hot spots: **Lake Borgne shallows** for reds and specks driftin' tide rips, or **MRGO rigs** for sheepshead and snapper—anchor upcurrent and drop baits deep.

We're in a risin' phase today—low at 4:20 AM, high 'round 10:45 AM, then fallin' to low at 5:10 PM. Fish are feedin' heavy on the incoming, so time your runs right. Action's heatin' up in these warm shallows. Recent catches show speckled trout stackin' in the 1-3 lb range, reds pushin' 5-10 lbs hittin' like trucks, and flounder floppin' steady at 1-2 lbs. Sheepshead are clusterin' 'round pilings, pullin' 2-4 lbs, while black drum are bulkin' up to 20+ lbs in the passes. Folks report limits of reds and specks yesterday off the Chandeleur Islands, per local charter logs. Best lures? Go with rattling lipless crankbaits or shad-colored spinnerbaits for reds and trout in creeks and points—retrieve medium-fast. Zoom Flukes on light jigheads shine for specks. Live shrimp or mullet under a poppin' cork can't be beat for bait; minnows nail flounder near structure. Hot spots: Hit Lake Borgne's shallow grass beds for reds at dawn, or Biloxi Marsh canals for specks and flounder—structure's loaded. Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFD.

Let's talk conditions. We're looking at low tidal coefficients today—around 41—which means smaller tidal ranges and lighter currents. Not ideal, but we'll work with it. Sunrise was early, and we've got a solid day ahead with decent light. Now, here's what's been happening in our waters. Over in Matagorda Bay just west of us, spring migration is in full swing. The native shrimp are moving, and that means everything's feeding. Redfish, speckled trout, and flounder are all active. Offshore, anglers are connecting with blue marlin, wahoo, and snapper in the Gulf proper. For your tackle setup, grab a medium-light spinning rod with 10 to 17-pound test monofilament. Circle hooks in the 1/0 to 3/0 range work great for clean releases. Here's the magic: live shrimp under a popping cork is your money setup right now. That popping sound brings 'em running, especially with spring migration peaking. If you're hitting it artificially, spoons and spinners are producing well for stocked areas, and don't sleep on topwater action when conditions are right. For hot spots, head to the passes and channel edges where flounder concentrate, or work the shallow bays where redfish school up. Bay City serves as your gateway to quality access points. Pro tip: grab your live shrimp from a local bait camp and keep 'em alive in an aerator bucket. Dead shrimp work, but they'll just bring up the bottom feeders.

Let's start with what Mother Nature's giving us today. According to the National Weather Service, we're looking at mostly sunny skies with temperatures climbing to around 78 degrees. Wind's going to be light, running west-northwest at 5 to 10 knots, then shifting northeast after midnight. Seas are minimal—just 1 foot or less—which means we've got some excellent conditions for getting out on the water. For our tide report, NOAA's showing us a high tide at 12:02 AM and a low around 9:30 AM at negative 0.21 feet. You're gonna want to target that incoming tide around mid-morning through early afternoon for the best fish activity. Now, here's where it gets interesting. The Gulf of Thailand might be famous for its sardines and mackerel, but we've got plenty of similar action right here in our backyard. Recent reports indicate trout and redfish are actively feeding in our local waters. The Maumee River reports suggest that 5/8 and 3/4-ounce weights are producing well, so don't overlook heavier presentations. For artificials, the Yo-Zuri Crystal 3D Minnow in sardine patterns is absolutely crushing it right now for trout and redfish. If you're looking to work structure, light tackle fishing and bottom fishing remain your bread and butter techniques around New Orleans. Live bait fishing is solid too—mullet and shrimp are always reliable. Hot spots to hit: Shell Beach offers excellent tide-driven opportunities with its tidal flats, and the areas around the ICWW near Michoud offer consistent action for redfish and trout.

It's early mornin' on this fine spring day, tides runnin' high with a flood comin' in around 8 AM pushin' to 2 feet by noon per NOAA charts, then slackin' off for the evenin' ebb—perfect for stirrin' up the bottom-feeders.

Recent reports from local charters like those outta Venice and Grand Isle show speckled trout limits hittin' 2-4 pounds on the reefs, reds crashin' 5-8 pounders in the marshes, and black drum haulin' in at 10-20 per boat. Sheepshead are schoolin' heavy 'round pilings, flounder flippin' in the passes, and early cobia showin' offshore. Activity's hot post-cold snap, with bites pickin' up on the incoming tide. Best lures? Go suspending jerkbaits in natural shad colors for trout and reds—mimic those baitfish schools. White jigheads with 3-inch paddle tails or Little Cleo spoons in chrome for vertical jiggin' specks and flounder. Live bait kings: shrimp under a popping cork for everything, mullet or menhaden on Carolina rigs for big reds and drum. Artificials shine when water clears. Hit these hot spots: Chandeleur Islands for reef trout runs, or Lake Borgne's MR-GO spillway for redfish ambushes—launch from Hopedale or Shell Beach. Stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFD.

Let's talk conditions. According to tide data for the Slidell area, we're looking at a high tide at 6:35 AM with water levels around 0.4 feet, and you've got another low coming at 5:04 PM. This means we're in that sweet spot right now with moving water—perfect for getting out there. Sunrise is around 7:07 AM and sunset hits at 7:08 PM, so you've got a full day ahead of you. The solunar activity is running high today with ratings in the very high range, which means the fish are biting. According to the October fishing reports for Louisiana's coastal waters, speckled trout are absolutely stacking along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu. Early morning topwaters are your ticket right now—work those lures fast and aggressive. As the sun climbs, switch over to soft plastics under a popping cork. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges and drains on falling tides. Gold spoons and live shrimp near points are producing solid results. If you're feeling ambitious, head out to the jetties around Grand Isle and Venice—bull reds are there and they're hungry for cut mullet or crab. Inside the bays, flounder are hanging around current-swept pockets. Slow-roll your paddle tails along the bottom and let that structure do the work. In the freshwater spillways, largemouth bass are chasing shad. Crankbaits on windblown banks work great, and after any fronts, drop down to finesse worms. **Hot Spots:** Target marsh drains two hours before and after falling tide—position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through. Also hit those oyster reefs in Lake Pontchartrain early with topwaters before the sun gets up. Thanks for tuning in, y'all. Make sure you subscribe for your next report.

Tides in the Mississippi Delta and Chandeleur areas show a risin' tide peakin' mid-mornin' at about 1.2 feet, then fallin' slow through the afternoon—great for pushin' baitfish into shallows. Fish activity's heatin' up post-winter; recent reports from local charter logs note strong speckled trout bites on the reefs, redfish schoalin' in marshes, and sheepshead huggin' structures. Catches last week tallied dozens of 2-5 lb trout per boat, limits of 15-20" reds, plus black drum up to 10 lbs and flounder in the 1-3 lb range. **Best lures:** Go with **black nickel collarless floating jig heads** tipped with emerald shiners—fresh shipments hittin' bait shops now, slayin' trout and reds in 4-8 feet. Soft plastics like Gulp! shrimp in natural or chartreuse on 1/4 oz jigheads for versatility. **Top baits:** Live shrimp or mullet under popping corks for reds and specks; fiddler crabs for sheepshead on pilings. Hot spots: Hit **Catfish Pass** off Grand Isle for reefs crawlin' with trout, or **MRGO marshes** near the Biloxi Wildlife Management Area for redfish ambushes—launch from Hopedale or Venice for quick runs.

Tide-wise, we’ve got a good spring push around the outer coast today. Grand Isle tide tables on Tides4Fishing show solid movement through the day with about a foot and a half of swing, enough current to stack bait along the passes and marsh drains. Sunrise is right around 6:20–6:30 on the southeast Louisiana coast, with sunset close to 6:00–6:10, so your best shot is that first light push and the last two hours of daylight bracketing the stronger tide. Weather along the southeast Louisiana coast is early-spring mild: morning temps in the upper 50s to low 60s, warming into the low 70s by afternoon, light north to northeast breeze laying down to 5–10 knots, Gulf side a light chop with some lingering swell. That’s classic transitional speck and redfish weather in the marsh and along the islands. According to recent New Orleans Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report Today episodes on Spreaker, the spring transition is already rolling: speckled trout, redfish, and sheepshead have been biting steadily on the outside edges, with steady boxes of keeper specks and mixed-slot reds coming from the rigs, shell pads, and current-swept points. Louisiana Sportsman’s early-spring inshore coverage backs that up, noting improving action as water warms across coastal systems. Fish activity is best mid-morning when that water gets a few degrees of warmth, and again late afternoon when tide and light line up. Expect trout to be scattered, not ganged up yet, but you can pick 20–40 fish if you stay mobile. Reds are cruising shorelines and cuts; figure 5–10 solid fish per boat if you work the clean water and bait. Best lures right now: - For trout: - 3–4 inch soft plastics on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads, in glow, opening night, and chartreuse-tail on a light jig under a popping cork. - MirrOlure or Rapala suspending hard baits over shell in 3–5 feet when the wind is low. - For reds and sheepshead in and around structure: - Gold spoons and spinnerbaits slow-rolled along grass and shorelines. - Matrix Shad or similar paddletails in shrimp or purple/chartreuse colors. Best bait: - Live shrimp is still king under a popping cork around rigs, bridge pilings, and islands. - Dead shrimp or fiddler crabs on a Carolina or drop-shot rig for sheepshead on rock and rig legs. - Cut mullet or cracked crab on the bottom for bull reds along the passes and on the edge of the Gulf. Couple of hot spots to key on: - **Barataria Pass and the Grand Isle/Grand Terre area**: Work the falling tide along the rocks and cuts with live shrimp under corks and light plastics; trout and sheepshead on the rocks, reds in the drains and behind the islands. - **Empire Jetty and the outer bays off the Mississippi River**: Fish current seams and eddies with live shrimp and soft plastics; good mix of reds, drum, and specks when the water cl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First things first—the tide situation. We're sitting at sunrise right around 6:38 AM with sunset hitting around 4:58 PM, so you got yourself a nice window to work with if you're heading out this morning. According to the tidal data for Shell Beach, we're in that "very high" coefficient range today, which means you've got good tidal movement pushing bait around and getting the fish aggressive. Down at Grand Isle, the coefficient's a hair lower but still solid, so either location's gonna treat you right. Now, here's what's been happening on the water lately. Reports from across the Gulf Coast show speckled trout are active along the structure—folks fishing the trestles up around Lake Pontchartrain and down toward Slidell have been putting fish in the boat. You're also seeing wahoo activity off the Gulf Coast, which is always a bonus if you venture out a bit further from the marsh. For tackle and bait, stick with what works. Live mullet and live shrimp are gonna be your bread and butter for that speckled trout action. If you're throwing artificials, topwater plugs early in the morning are gonna get their attention with all this tidal movement. For the open water, if you get into the Gulf proper, live baitfish and jigs are gonna connect you with that wahoo and whatever else is cruising. Here's where I'd point you—head to the trestles if you want solid speckled trout action, or hit Grand Isle if you want versatility with both inshore and open water opportunities. Both spots are gonna benefit from this high tide today. Get out there and get 'em, and thanks for tuning in to the show. Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

Lighter leaders on clear days, upsize after rains. Hit these hot spots: Grand Isle jetties for bulls, Caminada Pass bridges for specks and reds—user spots from FishingReminder light 'em up.

Weather's mild, light winds, no big fronts—fish are active post-winter chill. Louisiana Sportsman reports Capt. Mike Gallo haulin' in reds and specks last week usin' old-school lures near Vermilion Bay, and similar action's hot here in Chandeleur and Barataria systems. Folks are pullin' limits of redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, and black drum—20-30 fish days common on half-day charters out of Hopedale, tossin' soft plastics and gold spoons. Best lures? Go with paddle-tail soft plastics in chartreuse or mullet colors on 1/4-oz jigheads for specks, and weedless gold spoons or twitchin' mirrolures for tailin' reds. Live shrimp under a poppin' cork or mullet chunks for bait—can't beat 'em when she's dirty.

Let's talk about what's happening on the water right now. **Tidal Conditions** We're looking at some interesting tide action today. Over at Chef Menteur Pass, the water's still falling with about nine and a half hours until low tide. Paris Road Bridge shows similar patterns. This is actually prime time for inshore work—that falling water concentrates fish and creates better feeding windows. **Light and Moon** Sunrise broke at 5:58 this morning, and we'll have sunlight until around 8:03 p.m. The moon came up southeast at 6:17 a.m. this morning, so solunar activity is ramping up. Those early morning hours you just missed? That was premium fishing time when lunar and solar periods align. **What's Biting** According to recent reports from the area, redfish and speckled trout are the top targets right now. A recent angler landed a redfish of a lifetime after dealing with some tough freezing conditions earlier this week. The reports also mention flounder, kingfish, and mahi mahi showing up consistently. **Best Tactics** Light tackle fishing with live bait remains your go-to approach. Fresh mullet and shrimp will work. If you're throwing artificials, focus on shallow water structures where those reds and specks hunt. Bottom fishing works well too—you'll pick up flounder and other species. **Hot Spots** Head to Chef Menteur Pass—it's only nine miles from Paris Road Bridge and consistently produces. Alternatively, the Rigolets runs about seventeen miles out and offers solid inshore opportunities with better structure. **Final Thoughts** Water temperature's been a factor, but the fish are active. Get out during those solunar peaks, fish the structure near those passes, and you'll have a solid day on the water. Thanks for tuning in!

We're looking at some solid conditions today, folks. The sun's already up—rose around 6:54 this morning—and we've got until about 6:35 PM to work with. Water temperature's holding steady in the mid-40s, which means the fish are gonna be active and hungry. Let me break down the tides for you. We're sitting pretty with some excellent solunar activity. New Canal Station's showing us high tide this morning around 9:44 AM, so if you're heading out early, that's your window. The water's moving, and moving water means aggressive strikes. We're in that sweet spot where the tidal coefficient is running very high, which historically produces some of the best bites we see all month. As for what's biting, we've got speckled trout stacking up along the oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain—get out there early with some topwater action, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun climbs. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges, and you'll have success with gold spoons and live shrimp near the points. If you're feeling adventurous, we've got some hefty bull reds hanging around the jetties with cut mullet or crab. For your best bets on lures, stick with topwater early, then go soft plastics and spoons as conditions develop. Live shrimp and cut bait are gonna be your money makers today. Two spots I'd hammer: Head to Two Rivers Marina area—it's a solid harbor setup that attracts plenty of baitfish and structure. Then get yourself over to the marsh drains about two hours before and after that falling tide—position down-current and let your presentation sweep naturally through the funnel. That's where the aggressive strikes happen. Thanks for tuning in, y'all. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and stay locked in for daily updates. This has been a quiet please production.

We're looking at some prime conditions out there today. According to the tidal data from New Canal Station, we've got ourselves a waxing gibbous moon with major bite times hitting early this morning from 7:32 to 9:32 AM, and again this evening from 7:44 to 9:44 PM. Minor bite windows are running 12:36 to 2:36 AM and 2:28 to 4:28 PM. Those morning hours are gonna be money—get out there while the bite is hot. The February report shows speckled trout and redfish are stacking up heavy in the bayous right now. You're gonna want to work those oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu with early morning topwater action. As the sun rises, switch over to soft plastics under a popping cork—that's proven deadly. For the reds, focus on marsh edges and drains on a falling tide with gold spoons and live shrimp near points. If you're feeling ambitious, head out to the jetties around Grand Isle or Venice where bull reds are crushing cut mullet and crab. Inside the bays, flounder are holding around current-swept pockets. Slow-roll your paddle tails along the bottom and you'll connect. Fresh water guys should hit the Atchafalaya spillways and Toledo Bend where largemouth bass are chasing shad—crankbaits work great on windblown banks. Here's the key: post-front north winds are improving water clarity, so fish dawn and dusk when the water's moving. Light leaders on clear days, upsize after rains. Target those marsh drains two hours before and after falling tide—position down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through. Hot spots I'd recommend: Madisonville up on Lake Pontchartrain is always solid, and don't sleep on the Rigolets either. Both are producing right now.

It's your boy Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report for the Gulf Coast around New Orleans. Let's talk conditions. We've got a gale warning in effect from this evening through tomorrow morning, so water's going to be rough out there. If you're heading out, be smart about it—stick to protected inshore waters. The wind's picking up, which actually stirs things up and can trigger some aggressive feeding before that system rolls through. Tides are working in your favor today. We're looking at a high tide early this morning around 6:27 AM, with low tide hitting around 2:03 PM. If you can get on the water during that falling tide, that's prime time. According to local reports, redfish and speckled trout absolutely crush bait near marsh drains and current breaks when that water's moving. Position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through the funnel—you'll see strikes. For inshore action, speckled trout are your bread and butter right now. They're stacking along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain. Early morning topwaters are working, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun climbs. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges on that falling tide, so gold spoons and live shrimp near points will produce. We're also seeing some solid flounder action around current-swept pockets—slow-roll your paddle tails along the bottom. Best baits? Live shrimp is your go-to, or fresh-cut mullet if you're targeting bull reds at the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice. For artificials, soft plastics under a popping cork are dialed in right now for trout. Light tackle fishing's producing, so don't bring the heavy gear. Hot spots to check out: the Myrtle Grove Canal is top-notch for speckled trout—classic dead-end canal fishing. Also, Paris Road Bridge and Chef Menteur Pass are producing solid action this time of year. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for daily reports.

Tides today show a high at 9:10 AM hittin' 0.8 ft, droppin' to a low 9:25 PM at 0.4 ft—perfect fallin' tide for reds and specks pushin' into drains. Weather's lookin' solid offshore per National Weather Service marine forecast: light winds buildin' to possible gales west central Gulf, seas 3-5 ft, so stay shore-bound or bayou-hop if you're in a bay boat. Solunar peaks hit major bite from late afternoon into evenin', waxin' gibbous moon keepin' fish active at dawn and dusk. Fish are chewin' steady lately. Bayou Paradise Fishing Charters reports reds, black drum, flounder, sheepshead, speckled trout, and largemouth bass stackin' up in Lafitte bayous—Captain Mitchel's clients pullin' limits on light tackle and poppin' corks.

We're looking at some solid conditions out of New Orleans today, so let's dive in. **Tides and Timing** According to tidal data from New Canal Station, we've got high tide hitting around 9:37 AM this morning, with low tide coming through later this afternoon. The solunar chart shows we're in a favorable window with major bite times running from roughly 7:32 to 9:32 AM and again from 7:44 to 9:44 PM. You'll want to be on the water early—that dawn bite is where the magic happens. **What's Biting** Speckled trout are stacking along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu. Work those early morning topwaters, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun rises. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges on that falling tide—gold spoons and live shrimp near points are absolutely producing right now. If you're feeling ambitious, expect some hefty bull reds at the jetties around Grand Isle and Venice with cut mullet or crab. Freshwater anglers, largemouth bass are chasing shad in the Atchafalaya spillways and Toledo Bend. Crankbaits on windblown banks will get you strikes, and finesse worms work great after cold fronts. Blue catfish are active in the deeper river bends on cut bait. **Best Tactics** Target those marsh drains two hours before and after the falling tide—position down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through the funnel for aggressive strikes. Flounder are hanging around current-swept pockets; slow-roll your paddle tails along the bottom. **Hot Spots** Two Rivers Marina and the areas around Chef Menteur Pass are consistently productive. Don't sleep on The Rigolets either—excellent action there. Get out there and make it happen! Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for more Gulf Coast intel.

Let's break down what's happening on the water today around New Orleans. **Tides and Conditions** According to NOAA tide predictions, we're looking at a high tide this morning around 6:33 AM at 5.78 feet, with a low coming in around 1:01 PM at 0.60 feet. Another high tide's expected around 6:47 PM at 4.66 feet. The solunar activity's running average, so it's decent but not at peak levels. **Weather Alert** Here's the thing—a reinforcing cold front's moving in hard. We've got gale warnings in effect with NW to N winds expected to reach 25 to 35 knots by late tonight, and seas are building to 7 to 10 feet. If you're heading out, get after it early because conditions are deteriorating fast. Current temperature's sitting around 48 degrees. **Fish Activity** Word from the Gulf Coast fishing reports is that the winter bite is heating up. Speckled trout, redfish, and flounder are all active right now. Trout are biting particularly well in shallow canal systems and shallow flats when you can work the morning bite before this weather gets gnarly. **Best Tackle and Bait** For trout and reds, you can't beat soft plastics like swimbaits—the Rapala Claptail in night patterns works excellent in these conditions. Live mullet and shrimp are always solid choices when conditions allow. With the murky water from these seas building, darker lures and baits are your play. **Hot Spots** Check out the Myrtle Grove Canal if you can get there safely—it's a classic dead-end canal system that's tough to beat for speckled trout this time of year. You might also try trolling and drifting techniques in protected areas before the front hits. **Bottom Line** Get on the water early, fish hard, and get back before noon. This cold front's no joke.

We're comin' off a strong winter front, per the National Weather Service marine forecast—north winds easin' but still kickin' 15-25 knots offshore, makin' the Gulf choppy. Inshore marshes and sounds are fishable if you hug leeward banks. Water temps are cool, bunchin' fish tight.

Tides4Fishing and US Harbors show smaller tides today around Shell Beach and Grand Isle—moderate flow, no crazy current, but enough push mid-mornin' and evenin' to fire up bites. Recent reports from Captain Experiences and Louisiana Sportsman got steady limits: smaller specks in numbers on clean water pockets, thick reds in ponds and shell banks, sheepshead stackin' structure, plus drum. Offshore, OCEARCH pinged a white shark "Ripple" near New Orleans shores—watch your lines! Lures and bait killin' it post-front: soft plastics in natural shrimp/glow on 1/8-1/4 oz jigheads, tight-lined or under poppin' corks for specks. Gold spoons and small paddle tails slow-rolled for reds in skinny water. Dead/market shrimp or fiddlers on Carolina rigs/dropper loops for sheepshead and drum 'round pilings. Artificial fans, try slow-sinkin' twitchbaits or jerkbaits over MRGO ledges—let 'em sit and twitch. Hot spots: Hopedale-Shell Beach—MRGO rocks, Lake Borgne shores, marsh cuts with green water and current for specks, reds, drum. Myrtle Grove Canal on Barataria side—dead-end depth holds trout; plastics and shrimp under corks, boat quiet. Grand Isle passes like Caminada if you trailer—bayside reefs, rock drops with shrimp.

We’re sitting behind a strong winter front this morning; the National Weather Service marine forecast has that front draped from southeast Louisiana down toward Veracruz with strong north winds in its wake. Cold, dry air is pouring in and the Gulf is choppy offshore, but inside the marsh and along the sounds it’s very fishable if you tuck in on the leeward banks. Sunrise around New Orleans is right about 6:50 in the morning, with sunset just before 5 in the afternoon, so you’ve got a short, tight winter window. Tides around Shell Beach and Grand Isle are on the smaller side today according to Tides4Fishing, with moderate coefficients, so you won’t see crazy current, but you will get enough movement to turn on a bite during the stronger parts of the cycle. Plan around the mid‑morning and late‑afternoon pushes. Water temps are cool, and that’s got the fish grouped up. Recent inshore trips out of New Orleans, reported on Captain Experiences and Louisiana Sportsman, have seen steady boxes of speckled trout, redfish, sheepshead, and a few drum. The trout are smaller on average but coming in numbers when you find clean water; reds are thick in the ponds and along shell banks, and sheepshead are starting to stack on any hard structure. Best bite windows today will be mid‑morning once the sun warms the flats a touch, and again toward the evening when the tide swings and the wind lays just a bit. With post‑front high pressure, expect a slower start; think finesse, slow presentations, and light tackle. Let’s talk lures and bait. With this cold, clear setup, the money makers have been: - Soft plastics in natural colors—opening night, shrimp, and glow—on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce jigheads, tight‑lined or under a light popping cork for specks. - Gold spoons and small paddle tails for redfish in skinny water; slow roll them along grass edges and drains. - For sheepshead and drum, it’s hard to beat dead shrimp, market shrimp, or fiddler crabs on light Carolina rigs or dropper loops around pilings and rocks. If you’re strictly an artificial junkie, work slow‑sinking twitch baits and suspending jerkbaits over deeper bayous and along the ledges of the MRGO and Intracoastal. Let them sit and just barely twitch; these winter fish don’t want to chase far. A couple of hot spots to circle on your map: First, the Hopedale–Shell Beach area. Work the MRGO rocks, Lake Borgne shoreline, and the cuts feeding into the marsh. When you find that greenish‑clean water with decent current, you’ll typically see specks on plastics and a good mix of reds and drum. Second, slide down toward Myrtle Grove and the Barataria Bay side. Louisiana Sportsman has been talking up Myrtle Grove Canal as a winter trout producer, and that same pattern holds now: dead‑end canals with a little depth and bait will stack trout; fish soft plastics and live shrimp under corks and let the boat sit still and quiet.

We’re locked into that classic January pattern: cool mornings in the low 50s, warming into the 60s this afternoon, light north to northeast breeze and pretty forgiving seas along the inside coast. The National Weather Service marine forecast out of New Orleans has the nearshore stuff under 2 feet, so it’s a good day for small boats to creep the marsh and inside bays. According to the NOAA tide station at New Canal, the high water slid through around first light with another high showing just after daybreak and a low mid‑afternoon, only about a foot of total movement. That’s not ripping current, but it gives you a sweet spot on the last of the rise and the first of the fall. Tides4Fishing’s Shell Beach solunar chart shows sunrise right around 6:45–6:50 and sunset right at 5:00, with better activity late morning into early afternoon. Inshore action’s been steady if you fish winter‑slow. Local captains out of Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix are still boxing **15–30 keeper speckled trout** on decent trips, plus a handful of slot reds and some bonus sheepshead and black drum off the deeper points and bridge pilings. Louisiana Sportsman has been talking up winter trout stacked in dead‑end canals like Myrtle Grove, and the same pattern’s holding all around Barataria and the Biloxi Marsh: deep bends, shell bottom, clean moving water. Best producers right now are **3"–4" soft plastics on light jigheads** and **live shrimp or minnows**. Think opening night, avocado, or anything with a chartreuse tail on 1/8 to 1/4 ounce heads, dragged slow and low like you’re snag‑shy. Let it hit bottom, tiny hops, long pauses. Under birds or when the tide’s pushing harder at the mouths, a popping cork with live shrimp is still money for school trout. For reds, work shallow to the grass and broken shell with **gold spoons**, small spinnerbaits, or Gulp shrimp on a jig. If you’re more of a soaker, fresh cut mullet or shrimp on a Carolina rig will handle reds, drum, and sheepshead around current breaks and pilings. Couple hot spots for you: - Shell Beach and the Biloxi Marsh edge: hit the bayou mouths feeding Bay Eloi and the MRGO rocks. Set up where you’ve got 6–10 feet, some shell, and bait flicking. That late‑morning fall should line those trout up on the drop. - Myrtle Grove and Barataria dead‑end canals: idle until you mark 8–12 feet with bait, then fan‑cast plastics or slowly drag a jig through the middle. That’s been producing mixed bags of trout with some nice reds sliding through. Work slow, watch that minor late‑day push near sunset, and you ought to go home with some filets.

We’re in a classic winter pattern: cool, mostly stable weather, light north to northeast breeze, and water temps hanging in the mid‑50s along the marsh and inside bays. The National Weather Service marine forecast out of New Orleans has the coastal winds laid back and seas running low, which makes it a perfect day to tuck into the inside marsh or slide out into the sounds. According to the NOAA tide station at New Canal, we’ve got a modest tide today with about a foot of movement, high late morning around mid‑day and falling through the afternoon. That gives you a good bite window on the last of the incoming and the first of the fall. Tides4Fishing’s solunar chart for the New Canal and Shell Beach area shows better activity lining up from late morning into early afternoon, with a secondary push around sunset. Sun’s coming up right around 7 a.m. and setting just after 5 p.m., so you’ve got a tight, winter‑short feeding window to work with. Inshore, the bite’s been solid if you slow down. Local captains out of Shell Beach and Hopedale have been bringing in good boxes of speckled trout and slot reds, with a few bonus sheepshead and drum off the deeper points and bridges. Most crews are reporting 15–30 keeper trout on a decent trip, plus a handful of reds when they commit to working the shorelines. Louisiana Sportsman has been talking up winter trout in dead‑end canals like Myrtle Grove and the same pattern is holding over on our side: deep bends, shell, and clean moving water are the ticket. Best producers right now are **soft plastics on light jigheads** and **live shrimp or minnows**. Think 3"–4" paddle tails and straight tails in opening night, avocado, and anything with chartreuse, pinned to 1/8–1/4 oz jigs depending on current. Fish ’em slow and low, almost dragging. Under birds or when the tide’s ripping, a popping cork with live shrimp is still money. For reds, gold spoons, small spinnerbaits, and Gulp shrimp on a jig pitched tight to grass, cane, or broken shell have been putting fish in the boat. If you’re soaking bait, fresh cut mullet or shrimp on a Carolina rig will handle reds, drum, and sheepshead. Couple of hot spots for you: - **Shell Beach and the Biloxi Marsh edge** – Work the deeper bayou mouths and the inside ledges of Bay Eloi and the outer ponds off the MRGO. That incoming around late morning should push shrimp and minnows up and stack trout on the ledges. - **Myrtle Grove / Barataria dead‑end canals** – Those deeper winter holes Louisiana Sportsman highlights are holding good trout and reds. Idle in, find 8–12 feet with bait on the screen, and fan‑cast plastics or slowly drag a jig. Fish are not everywhere, but when you find clean, moving water with bait, they’re chewing. Keep your presentation slow, pay attention to that late‑morning tide swing, and you ought to scratch out a nice mess for the table.

It's January 7th, 2026, and we're kickin' off the day at 8:29 AM local time in the Gulf of Mexico waters. Sunrise hit at 6:57 AM, sunset's comin' around 6:38 PM today at New Canal Station, per tides4fishing.com charts. Tides are very high activity with a coefficient of 111 – low tide earlier, but expect 8:06 AM high at 0.8 ft and 7:05 PM at 0.6 ft, pushin' fish into the shallows. Weather's lookin' cooperative with moderate S to SE winds pickin' up by tonight over the central Gulf, per National Weather Service marine forecast – fresh breezes offshore, but inshore around NOLA should stay calm enough for a solid trip. Water temps are holdin' in the comfort zone, not too chilly for winter action. Fish are bitin' steady if you work the structure. Recent reports from Captain Experiences show offshore crews haulin' in snappers, French grunts, redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and kingfish – a dozen-fish limits easy on light tackle. Louisiana Sportsman says Myrtle Grove Canal's hot for speckled trout in dead-end spots, and inshore guides near here are pullin' reds and specks daily. Patience is key this month, per Gulf of Mexico Louisiana Fishing Report podcasts. Best lures? Go artificial with Rapala Scatter Rap Tail Dancer or pulse tail softbaits for that jiggin' action on trout and reds – line-thru designs shine in current. Live bait like shrimp or mullet on bottom rigs for flounder and snapper; light tackle or live bait fishin' tops the list from charter pros.

According to Tides4Fishing’s New Canal Station tables, we’re on a **small tide** today, with only about a 0.8‑foot swing mid‑day. That weak movement means slower current, so plan your trips around the **turns of the tide** and any wind‑driven movement you can find. TidesChart’s Lake Pontchartrain New Canal station page lists the **major feeding window late morning into early afternoon**, so that late brunch bite should be your best bet. Sun’s creeping over the marsh just after **7:10 a.m.**, and she’s ducking out a little after **6:15 p.m.** per the New Canal Station almanac. That gives you a nice, cool low‑light window at first light and again the last hour of the day—classic speck and redfish time. Local marine forecasts this week call for **cool, stable winter weather**: light north to northeast breeze in the morning, picking up a bit mid‑day, with clear to partly cloudy skies and temps starting in the 40s–50s and topping out in the low 60s. That pattern keeps the shallow ponds chilly but pushes fish into **deeper bayous, ledges, and cuts** where the water’s more stable. Guides out of Delacroix and Hopedale, including winter reports from Whiskey Bayou Charters, say the **redfish bite has been consistent**, with marsh slot reds and some upper‑slot fish stacked in small drains and around broken marsh points. They’re putting **limits of reds** in the box most days, plus drum and a few sheepshead when they slow down and soak bait. Trout action’s more hit‑or‑miss, but recent reports in interior bays and along Lake Borgne edges show **solid numbers of 13–18 inch specks** on good weather days. For **lures**, think winter confidence baits: - **Quarter‑ounce jigheads** with 3–4 inch paddle tails in opening night, glow/chartreuse, and morning glory for trout and reds. - **Gold or copper spoons** slow‑rolled along grass edges for redfish. - Suspending **jerkbaits and MirrOdine‑style hard baits** over shell and along bayou bends. - In deeper holes, a **soft plastic on a 3/8‑ounce head** dragged slow on bottom will pick up drum, reds, and trout. For **bait**, dead shrimp is king right now: - **Dead or fresh shrimp on a Carolina rig** for reds, drum, and sheepshead around cuts and shorelines. - **Live shrimp or cocahoe minnows under a popping cork** where you still see bait flipping or birds working for specks. - Small **crab chunks** if you’re targeting bigger reds around rocks, rigs, or deeper passes. Couple of **hot spots** to put on your list: - **Hopedale / Lake Borgne edges** – Work the outer bayous, shell humps, and trenasses dumping into Borgne; great mix of trout, reds, and drum on plastics and shrimp. - **Delacroix marsh and Oak River area** – Target deeper bends, intersections, and cuts off Oak River and in the interior ponds; redfish have been stacked there on slower tides.

We’re sitting on a mild south breeze and a partly cloudy sky across the lower Mississippi and Breton Sound. Southwest Pass and the mouth of the river are running low 70s for highs with mid‑60s overnight, according to the National Weather Service marine forecast. Winds are light enough to get outside the rocks, but there’s just enough chop you’ll want a bay boat or better if you’re running out of Venice or Empire. NOAA’s tide station at Southwest Pass and Tides4Fishing’s New Canal Station tables line up on a **small winter tide swing**: a pre‑dawn high, mid‑day low, and an afternoon rise. That means your best window is that **late‑morning falling tide into early afternoon** when water is moving out of the marsh drains. Sunrise over Lake Pontchartrain is right around 7:05, with sunset just after 5:20, giving you a tight winter daylight bite. Solunar tables for southeast Louisiana show the stronger activity pegged around the afternoon tide change and again just before dark. Inshore, reports coming into Louisiana Sportsman and local marinas from Hopedale, Shell Beach, and Delacroix have **speckled trout** still stacked in the deeper winter holes and along the outside edges of the marsh. Trout limits are coming on **matrix‑style soft plastics in shrimp and opening night colors under a popping cork**, 2–3 feet of leader, worked along current lines off points and bayou mouths. When the sun gets up and the tide slows, the bite’s sliding deeper; that’s when a 3/8‑ounce jighead and a smaller paddle tail bounced on bottom has been money. **Redfish** are chewing in the skinny stuff. Guides out of Hopedale and Shell Beach are reporting mixed boxes of slot reds and a few upper‑slot bruisers caught tight to grass and cane on the **falling water**. Gold spoons, weedless paddle tails in dark colors, and live or dead shrimp under a cork are all producing. Slide into those little side ponds and drains; if the water’s got 6–18 inches of clarity and a little push, you’re in the game. At the passes and rigs just off the river, recent trips out of Venice have put together good numbers of **sheepshead, black drum, and slot reds** around rock piles and pilings, mainly on **live shrimp, dead shrimp, and fiddler crabs**. Add a small piece of shrimp to a 1/4‑ounce jighead and you’ll catch just about everything with fins right now. Where you can find cleaner green water outside, there’ve been scattered **bull reds** and a few jacks on big Carolina‑rigged mullet and cracked crab. Best lures and baits today: - Inshore trout: **soft plastics under a popping cork**, and 3–4 inch paddle tails on 1/4–3/8 oz jigheads, natural or glow with chartreuse tails. - Reds: **gold spoons, dark paddle tails, and live shrimp** under a cork near grass lines and drains. - Pass/structure: Carolina‑rigged **dead shrimp, crab, and cut mullet**; add a small piece of shrimp to any jig.

We’re sliding into that winter pattern now. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of New Orleans, light to moderate north to northeast winds are holding across the sounds and outside to about 60 miles, with seas running 1 to 3 feet and a reinforcing cool, dry air mass behind the last front. That north breeze has the water pulling out of the marsh and clearing up just enough in the bays. Tides around New Orleans are on the small side but moving. NOAA’s tide station at New Canal on Lake Pontchartrain shows a nighttime high followed by a late‑morning low with only about a foot of range, so the best bite will be right when that water’s dumping out the ditches and trenasses. Over toward Shell Beach, Tides4Fishing shows a similar pattern: early low, strong mid‑day rise, so plan to fish two hours around those changes. Sunrise along the southeast Louisiana coast is right around 7 a.m., with sunset just after 5 p.m., giving you a tight dawn and dusk window. Solunar tables from FishingReminder put the major morning activity right after first light and then again near dark, so start early and stay late if you can. Fish activity’s been solid for December. Louisiana Sportsman is still talking up winter speckled trout in the Myrtle Grove Canal and across the Barataria system, and that pattern reaches right over to our side: specks stacked on shell and along deeper dead‑end canals once the sun gets up a bit. In Lake Pontchartrain, look for school trout and white trout on the bridges and along the south shore reefs; in the MRGO and Lake Borgne, nicer specks are holding off points with good current. Recent catches out of Shell Beach and Hopedale have been mixed boxes: 20–40 specks per boat when folks stay on the move, plus a half‑dozen keeper reds and the occasional flounder. Down Empire and Buras, crews sliding a little farther into the Gulf have been whacking bull reds and a few black drum on the rigs and rock piles. Nobody’s sinking limits every trip, but steady action if you work. Best offerings right now: - For trout: 3–4 inch soft plastics in glow, opening night, or watermelon on a 1/4‑ounce jighead, either tight‑lined or under a popping cork. A slow, twitch‑pause retrieve is key in this colder water. - For reds: gold spoons, spinnerbaits with a gold blade, or a shrimp imitation under a cork along grass edges and drains on a falling tide. - Live bait: live shrimp are still king when you can find them; otherwise, dead shrimp on a Carolina rig for drum and sheepshead, or cut mullet and crab chunks for bull reds around the jetties and nearshore rigs. Couple of hot spots to circle on your map: - **Lake Borgne / MRGO rocks and Shell Beach area** – Work the rocks and nearby points with plastics under corks for trout, then slide into the marsh pockets behind Shell Beach for reds once the sun’s up. - **Bayou Biloxi and the eastern Rigolet This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’re riding a good winter pattern now. New Canal Station tide tables from Tides4Fishing show a **high tidal coefficient and multiple small tide swings today**, with water moving best around mid‑morning and again late afternoon. That moving water window is when you wanna be posted up on drains and cuts; slack’s been dead slow. Weather-wise, the latest NOAA marine forecast calls for **light to moderate north to northeast winds**, cool morning temps in the 50s warming into the 60s, and mostly stable barometer. That’s a classic speck and redfish setup in the inside marsh, especially where wind stacks bait on the leeward banks. Sunrise is right around **7:05 a.m.** and sunset just after **6:20 p.m.** over the lake and marsh, so your prime bites have been that first hour after daylight and the last hour before dark. In the last few days, local captains out of Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix have been boxing **solid speckled trout with plenty of 12–16 inch fish**, plus good numbers of **slot reds** and a sprinkling of **sheepshead and black drum** off the rigs and rock structure. Most boats doing it right have been finishing with **20–40 trout** and **half a dozen reds**, depending on how hard they grind and how picky they’re being. Best producers: - **Speckled trout:** - 3–4 inch **paddle-tail plastics** on 1/4 oz jigheads in opening night, matrix shad, and glow/chartreuse under popping corks. - Free-lined **live shrimp** or shrimp on a dropper loop when the bite gets finicky. - **Redfish and drum:** - **Dead shrimp or market shrimp** on the bottom around pilings, rock, and shell. - Gold **weedless spoons**, 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads with white or chartreuse paddle tails, and black/chartreuse soft plastics dragged slow. - Around the bridges and lakefront, a few anglers are doing well slow-rolling **swim baits** and working **suspending jerkbaits** when the water’s clear enough. Two hot spots to circle: 1. **Hospital Wall and the New Orleans Lakefront** – From West End down toward Seabrook, the rocks and breaks have held specks and a few reds on days with cleaner water. Work popping corks just off the rocks and jerkbaits or soft plastics along the edge when the tide’s swinging. 2. **Hopedale / MRGO and the outer bays toward Lake Borgne** – Drains coming out the marsh on the falling tide have been stacked with school trout and rat reds, with nicer fish mixed in. Anchor or spot lock just off the current seam and fish your corks or Carolina rigs right down the edge. For the night‑owls, Jefferson Parish just added **green LED fishing lights at Bonnabel Boat Launch in Metairie**, and they’ve already been pulling in school specks and white trout on small plastics and shrimp-tipped jigs under the glow.

Folks working the bridges on Pontchartrain have been picking off speckled trout on calmer days, especially around the Causeway and Trestles, with the better numbers right on the tide changes. Typical winter mix in the boxes lately: 20–40 specks for a three‑man crew when the weather behaves, half‑dozen slot reds, a drum or two, and the odd flounder pulled off current‑swept pockets, which tracks with Fishingreminder’s October coastal pattern still holding into early winter—trout on reefs and pilings, reds on marsh drains, flounder tight to the bottom.[Fishingreminder Louisiana October report] Best offerings right now are all about subtlety. Soft plastics under a popping cork—matrix‑style shad tails in glow/chartreuse or opening night—are still the bread and butter for Lake Pontchartrain trout, especially worked along bridge pilings on that mid‑morning high.

We’re sitting on a cool, stable winter pattern now, and that’s got the marsh fish settled in and feeding. NOAA’s New Canal Station tide prediction for Lake Pontchartrain shows a weak morning low followed by a modest afternoon rise, so the best water movement lines up late morning into mid‑afternoon. Marine Weather from the New Orleans/Baton Rouge office has light northerly winds, seas 1–2 feet inside, and a dry high-pressure dome—great for small boats and kayaks, but the clear water means you’ll want to downsize leaders. Sun’s creeping up a little before 7 and dropping right around 5:30 over the lake, so your real “golden hours” are first light until about 9 and then that last 90 minutes before dark. FishingReminder’s Louisiana solunar outlook pegs strong major feeding windows around daybreak and again just after sunset, and local catches the last few days have backed that up. Inshore action around town has been classic December. Louisiana Sportsman’s recent Barataria and Chalmette pieces report solid boxes of speckled trout and slot reds coming from inside marsh ponds, trenasses, and deeper bayous when you find 3–6 feet of greenish water. Out of Shell Beach and Hopedale, boats have been putting 25–40 trout on ice with a half‑dozen reds and a couple of bonus sheepshead or drum when they slide to the rocks or rigs. Lake Pontchartrain bridges have coughed up fewer but bigger specks—2–3‑pound class—with occasional 5‑fish limits for folks patient‑jigging the pilings. Best producers right now are **soft plastics and live shrimp**. Guides out of Delacroix and Lafitte have been leaning on 3–4 inch paddle tails like Bass Assassin Saltwater Assassin in opening night or chartreuse on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads under a popping cork over shell and points. When the bite gets picky in that clear high‑pressure water, a straight jig with no cork, slowly bounced near bottom, is outfishing everything. Live shrimp or cocaho minnows under a cork are still king for mixed trout/redfish boxes; cut shrimp on the bottom is tallying drum and sheepshead around rock banks and rigs. If you’re chasing reds specifically, think shallow mid‑morning on a warming trend. Louisiana Sportsman’s Chalmette report notes reds stacked in man‑made ditches and along roseau cane where the sun warms the mud. A gold spoon, a Gulp shrimp on a 1/4 oz jig, or a weedless jerkbait like Strike King’s durable TPE baits will pull fish from less than two feet of water. Bulls have been roaming the outer passes off the MRGO and around Breton Sound rigs on cut mullet and crab for those running farther. Couple of local hot spots to circle for today: - **Paris Road / ICW and the MRGO rocks**: good mixed trout and reds on moving tide; work plastics along the drop‑offs and soak live shrimp near the rock corners. - **The Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain bridges**: focus on the up‑current sides of pilings with soft plastics slow This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. Sun, 14 Dec 2025 08:30:56 -0000 full Inception Point AI Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Gulf-side New Orleans fishing report. We’re sitting on a cool, stable winter pattern now, and that’s got the marsh fish settled in and feeding. NOAA’s New Canal Station tide prediction for Lake Pontchartrain shows a weak morning low followed by a modest afternoon rise, so the best water movement lines up late morning into mid‑afternoon. Marine Weather from the New Orleans/Baton Rouge office has light northerly winds, seas 1–2 feet inside, and a dry high-pressure dome—great for small boats and kayaks, but the clear water means you’ll want to downsize leaders. Sun’s creeping up a little before 7 and dropping right around 5:30 over the lake, so your real “golden hours” are first light until about 9 and then that last 90 minutes before dark. FishingReminder’s Louisiana solunar outlook pegs strong major feeding windows around daybreak and again just after sunset, and local catches the last few days have backed that up.

We’re in that classic early-winter pattern: cool mornings, light north to northeast breeze, and mostly fair skies. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of New Orleans, inshore winds are running around 5–10 knots with small chop, with the bigger Gulf seas in the 3–5 foot range offshore. That makes the inside marsh and nearshore bays the play today. NOAA’s tide prediction for the New Canal Station on Lake Pontchartrain shows a modest morning high followed by a falling tide through the afternoon, so you’ll want to time your trips around moving water in the bayous and passes. That falling water is going to pull bait out of the ponds and stack fish at the mouths of drains and cuts. Sunrise is right around seven, sunset a little after five-thirty, giving you a tight dawn and dusk chew. Fish activity lines up well with the solunar tables from FishingReminder, which flag a strong major feeding window mid‑morning and again around sunset. That matches what local captains have been seeing all week: slow first light, then a real pick‑up once the sun’s up a bit and the tide starts rolling. According to Louisiana Sportsman’s recent December coverage, the coastal marsh from Lafitte over toward the Barataria and Empire area has been hot with speckled trout and slot reds, with some bruiser bull reds out toward the larger bays and near Gulf passes. Trout have been running solid keeper size with some two‑ to three‑pound fish mixed in on oyster reefs and along current‑swept shorelines. Reds are thick in the shallow ponds and along broken marsh edges, especially where clean water meets slightly off‑color water. Best baits right now: - **Speckled trout:** 3–4 inch soft plastics in opening night, glow, or chartreuse on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads under a popping cork. That new shrimp‑style plastics like the Vudu‑type shrimp Louisiana Sportsman highlighted are catching well over shell and in deeper bayous. - **Redfish:** Gold spoons, spinnerbaits, and paddle‑tail plastics in dark colors. If you’re soaking bait, dead shrimp or cut mullet on the bottom in a little current is hard to beat. - **Live bait:** Live shrimp and cocahoe minnows are still king if you can get them; free‑line or under a cork around points and drains. Recent catches in the Grand Isle–Barataria–Empire corridor have shown mixed bags: limits of specks for boats that stick to moving water and work through schools, plus 4–10 reds a trip, with drum and sheepshead as bonus fish. Up toward Pontchartrain, anglers working the bridges and nearby reefs are picking up decent numbers of trout when the water cleans up after fronts. Couple of local hot spots to zero in on: - **Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO rocks** on the east side of town: great for trout and reds when that tide starts pulling.

We’ve got a mild December pattern sitting over the city this morning. According to the National Weather Service marine forecast out of New Orleans, winds on Lake Pontchartrain and the nearshore Gulf have been running mostly east around 5–10 knots with one-foot chop or less, building a bit with passing showers later in the day. That light onshore flow has the water pushed up just enough to dirty the banks and get the bait moving. Sunrise around New Orleans is right at about 7 AM, with sunset near 5:05 PM. That first hour of light and the last hour before dark are your money windows today, especially when they line up with the moving tide along the bridges and marsh drains. New Canal Station on Lake Pontchartrain is showing modest tidal swing today, typical winter pattern, but enough rise and fall to matter along the MRGO, Hopedale, Shell Beach, and the outer marsh toward Black Bay, where current in the cuts does more than the posted tide height suggests. Inshore action east of town has stayed solid. Charter outfits like Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters out of Hopedale report steady boxes of redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, and a few black drum coming off the marsh edges and rock-lined passes. Limits of keeper specks have been coming early on calmer days, with slot reds stacked in skinny ponds when the water’s up and in deeper bayous on falling water. Fish activity today should bump up around the stronger moving-tide windows and again on that late-afternoon low-light bite. Colder nights have the trout holding deeper over shell and along ledges in Lakes Borgne and Pontchartrain, while reds are hugging wind-protected shorelines with any clean pockets of water and bait flickering. Best baits and lures right now: - For speckled trout: *Soft plastics* on 3/8-ounce jigheads in shrimp, opening night, and chartreuse/UV colors, bumped slow near the bottom. A popping cork with a 18–24 inch leader and a shrimp imitation will still do work over shell flats when the wind lets you. - For redfish and drum: Gold spoons, quarter-ounce spinnerbaits with white or glow paddletails, and live or dead shrimp on a Carolina rig around cuts, drains, and broken marsh points. Sheepshead are piling on the same shrimp tight to structure. - For bridge trout on Pontchartrain: Heavier jigheads with Matrix-style shad tails in green hornet or avocado, worked down the pilings, are still the locals’ go-to. Hot spots to aim for today: - **Hopedale / Shell Beach corridor** – Work the bayou mouths dumping into Lake Borgne, as well as the MRGO rocks. Trout early on plastics, then slide shallower for reds as the sun climbs. - **The Rigolets and Highway 11 / Twin Span bridges** – Fish the down-current sides of the bridge pilings for specks and a mixed bag of drum and sheepshead, especially when that tide starts rolling.

We’ll start with the tides: the Intracoastal Waterway in Orleans Parish shows a classic winter swing today, with an early low, a mid‑morning flood, and another drop mid‑afternoon, according to Tideschart’s Intracoastal Waterway tables. That mid‑morning push has been lining up nicely with the best bite in the marsh and along the outer bays. Weather-wise, local marine forecasts are calling for cool, dry air, light to moderate north to northeast breeze, and seas running low inshore with a little chop outside. Skies are mostly clear, with sunrise right around 6:45 a.m. and sunset close to 5 p.m., giving you a short but very fishy window if you can hit the moving water. Inshore, speckled trout and redfish are still the main story. Recent charter and marina chatter out of Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix has most boats boxing 25–50 trout on good days, with a mixed grade from 13‑ to 18‑inch fish and a few bigger ones when the tide and water clarity line up. Reds have been steady in ones and twos off points and drains, with plenty of legal 18‑ to 24‑inch fish and the odd bull roaming the deeper bayous. Best lures right now are **3–4 inch soft plastics** on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads in shrimp, opening night, and chartreuse variations, either tight‑lined or under a cork. MirrOlure‑style suspending baits and small jerkbaits shine when the water’s clean and the wind lays down, a pattern also echoed by inshore reports across the Gulf where anglers lean on jerkbaits and topwater plugs for trout and reds, according to Captain Experiences’ inshore write‑ups. Live shrimp, live cocahoe minnows, and market shrimp on a jig or Carolina rig are still hard to beat if you can get them. Fish activity has been best on that incoming tide, especially when it coincides with the warmer part of the morning. Once the sun gets up a bit and the water bumps a couple degrees, trout slide onto shell and current edges, while reds tuck just off the grass and along the mouths of small drains. Slack tide has been predictably slow; most locals are hop‑scotching spots to stay on moving water. A couple of hotspots to circle: - **Lake Borgne / MRGO Rocks:** Working the rock walls and nearby rigs with soft plastics and live shrimp has been producing solid trout numbers with bonus reds and the occasional drum when the tide’s rolling. - **Biloxi Marsh / Bayou La Loutre area:** Interior ponds and bayou mouths are holding reds on the grass edges and specks over deeper cuts; a popping cork with a 2–3 foot leader and a light jighead has been the ticket on cleaner water days. Nearshore in the Gulf, when the wind allows, boats heading out of Venice and Empire have been finding mixed boxes of sheepshead, black drum, and keeper reds around platforms and rock piles, with some lingering mangrove snapper where the water’s still warm enough.

Tides4Fishing’s New Canal Station table shows a classic winter **single tide** pattern on Lake Pontchartrain right now, with a modest morning rise and an evening fall, not a huge swing but just enough current to stack bait along the edges of the bridges and passes. Around Paris Road Bridge, Tides4Fishing notes sunrise right around **6:45–7:00 a.m.** this time of year and sunset just after **6:20 p.m.**, so that first light window is your money time. Weather-wise, local marine forecasts call for a cool, stable high-pressure morning, light **northerly to northeast winds** and dry air—classic December speck and redfish weather. Skies are mostly clear, so expect a bright morning once the sun’s up; that pushes fish tight to shadow lines and deeper cuts by mid‑day. Fish activity’s been solid. Guides and locals around Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix have been reporting **good boxes of speckled trout** with a mix of keeper and schoolie fish, plus steady **slot redfish** in the ponds and along the rocks. Lake Borgne and the eastern edges of Pontchartrain have given up **sheepshead and a few drum** around hard structure when the tide ticks along. Numbers aren’t summer‑crazy, but limits of trout and 5–10 redfish per boat have been common on calmer days. Best lures right now: - **Soft plastics** on 1/4 oz jigheads—Matrix Shad, Saltwater Assassin, anything in opening night, avocado, or glow/chartreuse. - **Popping corks** with a 18–24" leader over shell or along shorelines for trout. - For reds, **gold spoons**, spinnerbaits with white or chartreuse trailers, and 3" paddle tails in dark colors for that slightly dingy winter water. Best bait: - **Live shrimp** is still king when you can find it; fish it under a cork over shell or around pilings. - **Dead shrimp** tipped on jigheads or small hooks around bridges, rigs, and rock piles is producing sheepshead and drum. - **Live or cut mullet** and **market shrimp on bottom** will find those lazy winter reds on the ledges. Couple of hot spots if you’re launching local: - **Paris Road Bridge / Intracoastal junction**: Work the down‑current side of the bridge pilings at moving tide with plastics on jigheads; let them swing naturally. Sheepshead and drum tight to concrete, trout a touch off the structure. - **The Rigolets and nearby passes**: Focus on current seams and drop‑offs with soft plastics and live shrimp. Let the boat sit down‑current and cast up into the flow. That’s been one of the more consistent speck bites. - Closer in, the **MRGO rocks and Shell Beach area** are still holding reds along the rocks and trout in deeper bends; slow‑roll paddle tails just off the bottom. If you’re headed toward the outer bays on a calm day, bring a few **silver or green bait‑style hard baits** and heavier jigheads; there’ve been scattered This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Couple of hot spots if you’re launching local: - **Paris Road Bridge / Intracoastal junction**: Work the down‑current side of the bridge pilings at moving tide with plastics on jigheads; let them swing naturally. Sheepshead and drum tight to concrete, trout a touch off the structure. - **The Rigolets and nearby passes**: Focus on current seams and drop‑offs with soft plastics and live shrimp. Let the boat sit down‑current and cast up into the flow. That’s been one of the more consistent speck bites. - Closer in, the **MRGO rocks and Shell Beach area** are still holding reds along the rocks and trout in deeper bends; slow‑roll paddle tails just off the bottom. If you’re headed toward the outer bays on a calm day, bring a few **silver or green bait‑style hard baits** and heavier jigheads; there’ve been scattered This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 214 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI5095473392 Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your southeast Louisiana salt report from the New Orleans side of the Gulf. We’re sliding into that classic early-winter pattern. According to NOAA’s New Canal Station tide predictions, we’ve got a solid morning high followed by a steady fall through midday, which is perfect for feeding redfish and trout along drains and bayou mouths. Tides4Fishing’s Paris Road Bridge chart shows moving water most of the day, so you’ll have current to work with from the ICW out toward Lake Borgne. Weather-wise, the National Weather Service marine forecast for Lake Borgne and Mississippi Sound calls for cool temps, light to moderate north to northeast winds and relatively low seas – chilly at the dock, but once that sun pops up it’s comfortable layering weather, prime for specks on the inside waters. Sunrise around the south shore is just before 7 a.m., with sunset a little after 5 p.m., giving you tight prime-time windows at first and last light. Bite’s been good. Louisiana Sportsman’s recent coastal reports say speckled trout are stacked on the bridges and reef edges in Pontchartrain and along current-swept shell in Borgne and Black Bay. Limits have been coming on 12–18 inch schoolies with some 20-plus inch fish mixed in. In a typical trip right now you can expect a couple dozen keeper specks if you stay on clean water and moving tide. Reds are thick in the marsh: plenty of 16–24 inch slot fish with the odd bull roaming outside passes and along shorelines when the water’s clear. Best baits: under a popping cork, it’s hard to beat live shrimp or a cocaho minnow on a 1/4-ounce jighead. For artificials, local guides have been leaning on Matrix Shad and similar paddle tails in opening night, green hornet and shrimp imitations. New shrimp imitations like the Vudu-style Mambo Shrimp that Louisiana Sportsman has been featuring are getting inhaled when worked slow along the bottom. Early, throw topwaters like a She Dog or Spook Jr. over shell and along shorelines for trout and bonus reds; once the sun gets up, switch to plastics or live bait under a cork. Gold spoons and spinnerbaits are money for sight-feeding reds on the flats. A couple hotspots to circle today: • Paris Road Bridge and the ICW cuts toward Lake Borgne – good moving water, trout on the drops, reds in the nearby marsh ponds and drains. • Shell Beach out toward the MRGO rocks and Hopedale marsh – consistent reports of mixed boxes of specks, reds and a few drum when the water’s got some green to it. Fish your drains two hours on either side of the falling tide. Set up downcurrent, let that cork or jig swing naturally, and don’t be scared to bump to lighter leader if the water’s clear. It’s a “grind and move” kind of day, but if you hop around and trust the tide, you’ll bend the rod plenty. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for more Gulf Coast fishing talk.

Light north breeze, cool temps, and mixed clouds have the marsh draining just enough to line those fish up on the edges. ## Tide, sun, and weather We’re on a modest fall-and-rise pattern: low water mid to late morning, then a slow climb through the afternoon, so that dropping water right after daylight is the window to key on drains and points. Sunrise is right around seven o’clock with sunset just after five, which means a short feeding day and a strong push at first light and again late. Cooler, dry air behind recent fronts has the water clearing; that clarity is helping artificial baits and making fish a little line-shy in the ponds. ## What’s biting and how Speckled trout have been steady on the outer edges of Lake Borgne and along deeper shell in the MRGO and around Shell Beach, with most folks reporting good numbers of schoolies and a few solid keepers mixed in. Redfish are thick in the inside marsh – think bayou mouths, cuts off the Intracoastal, and broken ponds – with plenty of slot fish and the occasional bull cruising the deeper bayous. Flounder are still popping up as bycatch at the mouths of ditches and along hard-bottom shorelines when you keep a bait dragging slow on the bottom. ## Lures, bait, and tactics Early, work topwater or suspending twitchbaits for trout along riprap and shell; once the sun gets up, switch to 3–4 inch soft plastics on light jigheads or under a popping cork in 3–5 feet. For reds, gold or copper spoons, spinnerbaits with white or chartreuse plastics, and weedless paddletails pitched tight to grass and drains are doing damage. If you’re soaking bait, live or dead shrimp under a cork for trout and slot reds, and cut mullet or crab on the bottom for bulls around deeper bends and channel edges. ## Recent action and hotspots Reports from local guides and marinas have most recent catches coming as mixed boxes: two to three dozen trout for a three- or four-angler crew on good days, plus a handful of reds and the odd flounder or drum. Hot right now: the Shell Beach area – Breton Sound side, MRGO rocks, and nearby rigs – for trout and bonus reds when the tide’s moving. Closer to town, the Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain bridges are worth a look for trout on the pilings and reds on the leeward banks, especially when the wind stacks bait on one side.

Let's start with the tides and conditions. We're looking at some solid tidal movement this morning. The sun came up around 6:38 AM and we've got about eleven hours of daylight before sunset around 5 PM. Water's in great shape with a waxing gibbous moon, and we're seeing major bite times hitting from around 7:30 to 9:30 AM this morning—perfect window to get out there. Now, here's what's been firing up in our marshes and coastal waters. Speckled trout have been stacking thick along oyster reefs and bridge pylons, especially in Lake Pontchartrain. Get out there at first light with topwater lures—they absolutely crush them in that early morning bite. Once the sun climbs higher, switch over to soft plastics rigged under a popping cork. Redfish are cruising those marsh edges hard right now, and they're responding great to falling tides. Gold spoons and live shrimp near points are producing solid action. If you're feeling adventurous, head toward Grand Isle or Venice where the bulls are hanging around the jetties—bring cut mullet or crab for that deeper bite. Flounder are hanging in current-swept pockets, so slow-roll your paddle tails along the bottom. Blue catfish are active too in those deeper river bends on cut bait. For hot spots, you can't beat Chef Menteur Pass—it's about sixteen miles out and loaded with structure. Also check out Barataria Waterway near Lafitte. Both spots give you access to multiple species. Get your gear together before you leave the dock, folks. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

The tide is currently falling, which is excellent news for targeting redfish and speckled trout along those marsh edges and drains. Your best window is going to be within two hours before and after the falling tide—position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through those funnels for aggressive strikes. **Sunrise and Sunset** Sun's coming up around 6:44 AM this morning, setting around 5:02 PM. Early morning is prime time, so get on the water at first light. That's when the trout are most active along those oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain. **What's Biting** December is heating up for some serious variety out here. Speckled trout are stacking tight around oyster reefs and structure—work early morning topwaters, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun climbs. Redfish are cruising those marsh edges on the falling tide, and we're seeing some hefty bull reds around the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice. Blue catfish are active in the deeper river bends, and flounder are holding around current-swept pockets along the coast. **Best Baits and Lures** For trout, topwater plugs in the early morning can't be beat. Gold spoons are money for redfish near those marsh points, and live shrimp under a popping cork produces consistently. Cut mullet and crab work great for the bigger reds at the jetties. Down in the freshwater areas like the Atchafalaya spillways, crankbaits on windblown banks are producing largemouth bass. **Hot Spots** If you're hitting Lake Pontchartrain, focus on those oyster reefs and bridge pilings early. For redfish action, head to the marsh drains and look for that falling tide—you'll find aggressive fish positioning down-current. Grand Isle and Venice jetties are your ticket for bull reds with cut bait this time of year. **Weather Note** We've got some north winds that'll improve water clarity, so bring lighter leaders today and fish those dawn and dusk periods when the action peaks.

We're looking at a decent tide day today, folks. High tide is hitting around 12:24 PM at 0.36 feet, with another high at 2:51 PM at 0.39 feet. Low tide came through early this morning at 1:09 AM. The tide coefficient is sitting at 58 to 70, which means we've got moderate movement—perfect for concentrating fish at the channels and bayou mouths. Sunrise today is around 6:39 AM with sunset coming at 6:45 PM, so you've got a solid window to work both the dawn and dusk periods when the action really heats up. We're in a First Quarter Moon phase, which generally favors good fishing conditions. Now, what's happening in our waters? Speckled trout and redfish are firing up throughout Louisiana's coastal marshes right now. These fish are actively feeding, especially around moving tides. The redfish are hugging the grass edges and windward points where baitfish are stacking up. As for speckled trout, they're crushing it at the Lake Pontchartrain bridges at dawn and dusk—that's your prime time. For gear setup, if you're targeting trout, grab your 3/8-ounce jigheads with natural-colored soft plastics. When conditions are calm, switch to a popping cork rigged with live shrimp. For redfish in the skinny marsh, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are absolutely deadly on cruising fish. Don't sleep on the channel edges either—that's where flounder are hanging out. Use slow-rolled jig-and-minnow combos to entice them. Live shrimp remains your go-to bait, but topwater action can be spectacular early in the morning before the sun climbs. As the day progresses, drop down to subsurface presentations. Here's a pro tip: keep moving until you locate life—look for bait flicks, slicks, or bird activity. Once you get two good bites, lock in and work that area methodically from shallow to deep. Best spots to hit today? Lake Pontchartrain itself is your signature destination—year-round excellence with big black drum alongside your speckled trout and redfish. Also check out Bayou Saint John just minutes from downtown, or work the wharves and jetties if you want to be among other anglers. The Nashville Avenue Wharf and Galvez Street Wharf are solid options for land-based access. Thanks for tuning in to today's fishing report! Make sure you subscribe for daily updates and tips.

Let me break down what's happening on the water this Monday morning. **Tides and Conditions** We're looking at a high tide this morning at 3:57 AM sitting at 0.85 feet, with a low tide rolling in around 2:03 PM at 0.56 feet. The tide's not running massive today, but it's workable. Sunrise came in early around 7 AM and we're heading toward sunset around 6:15 PM, so you've got a solid window to get out there. **What's Biting** December is absolutely prime time for speckled trout in these waters. They're moving into the deeper sections of the main rivers and dead-end canals as it gets colder. If you're willing to work it, redfish are still active through the winter months too—Bypass Canal just off the Intracoastal is holding good numbers. Sac-a-lait fishing is stellar right now in the cold river slabs as well. **Tackle Up** For lures, the new Vudu Mambo Shrimp is absolutely crushing it whether you're working grass flats, marsh, docks, or open water. This artificial is hard for fish to resist. If you want to go live bait, you can't go wrong with traditional options. Light tackle and trolling are your best bets this time of year—kayak anglers especially should focus on trolling and drifting techniques. **Hot Spots** Head to Vermilion Bay if you can—it's absolutely perfect for targeting speckled trout right now. If redfish are calling your name, get yourself over to Bypass Canal and work it methodically. That's what we've got for today, folks. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure Report.

Artificial Lure here, coming to you with your Sunday morning fishing forecast for the New Orleans area and the surrounding Gulf waters. Let's talk tides first. We're looking at a low tide of 0.07 feet at 1:09 AM this morning, followed by a high of 0.36 feet around midday at 12:24 PM. Another low comes in at 12:43 PM, then we push up to 0.39 feet by 2:51 PM. The coefficient's sitting at 58 to 70, which means we've got decent tidal movement—not the strongest, but enough to get the baitfish moving and the gamefish feeding. Speaking of movement, we're in the First Quarter Moon phase right now, which typically triggers good feeding windows. The major bite times today fall between 6:42 AM and 8:42 AM, with a secondary window from 6:59 PM to 8:59 PM. That morning bite should be prime for cruising the bridges and trestles. For fish activity, the marshes have been producing solid numbers of speckled trout and redfish. Look for the schoolies along grass edges—they love a moving tide like what we've got this afternoon. Flounder are hanging tight to those channel edges too, so don't sleep on them. Rod-wise, throw 3/8-ounce jigheads with natural-colored soft plastics for trout around the Pontchartrain trestles. When conditions allow, a popping cork with live shrimp is deadly. For reds in the skinny water, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails work magic on windward points where bait's stacking up. Flounder? Slow-roll a jig-and-minnow combo and you'll find them. If you're looking for solid access, hit the Bienville Street Wharf or Toulouse Street Wharf downtown—both are close, well-lit for night fishing, and produce fresh fish regularly. Or venture out to the St. Bernard and Hopedale marshes for that redfish action. The visibility's sitting at 61%, so water clarity's decent. Get out there and find the life—bait flicks, slicks, and birds. Once you get two good hits, park it down and work methodically from shallow to deep. Thanks for tuning in, folks.

Sun, 30 Nov 2025 08:28:59 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI # Artificial Lure's Gulf Coast Fishing Report – November 30th, 2025 Well hey there, folks. Artificial Lure here, coming to you with your Sunday morning fishing forecast for the New Orleans area and the surrounding Gulf waters. Let's talk tides first. We're looking at a low tide of 0.07 feet at 1:09 AM this morning, followed by a high of 0.36 feet around midday at 12:24 PM. Another low comes in at 12:43 PM, then we push up to 0.39 feet by 2:51 PM. The coefficient's sitting at 58 to 70, which means we've got decent tidal movement—not the strongest, but enough to get the baitfish moving and the gamefish feeding. Speaking of movement, we're in the First Quarter Moon phase right now, which typically triggers good feeding windows.

We're looking at some solid fishing conditions this Saturday morning. The moon's sitting at First Quarter phase with 61% visibility, which means we've got decent light penetration in the water. Your major bite times are firing up from 6:42 to 8:42 this morning, and we've got another solid minor bite window from 1:40 to 3:40 this afternoon. There's one more major bite period coming in this evening from 6:59 to 8:59, so stay out there if you can make it. Now let's talk tides. We've had a low tide at 1:09 this morning at just 0.07 feet, with a high at 12:24 hitting 0.36 feet. Right now we're sitting in a tidal coefficient of 58, which means there's decent movement in the water pushing bait around. This movement concentrates fish at the drains, cuts, and bayou mouths—so make those areas your priority today. The speckled trout and redfish are firing up in our coastal marshes right now. For the specs, grab your lipless crankbaits and focus on the Pontchartrain trestles with 3/8-ounce jigheads rigged with natural-colored soft plastics. When the wind lays down, switch to a popping cork with live shrimp—that's money. For redfish cruising those skinny marsh flats, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are your go-to baits. Target windward points where the bait stacks up. Speaking of hot spots, you've got to check out Bienville Street Wharf and Toulouse Street Wharf—both real close to downtown and productive year-round. If you're looking for something in the marsh, hit up Bayou Saint John about 8.6 kilometers out. The wharfs are well-lit if you want to fish into the evening, and they're great for meeting other anglers and catching bait. Here's my pro tip: keep moving until you find life—watch for bait flicks, slicks, or bird activity. Once you get two solid bites, anchor down and work that area methodically from shallow to deep. Thanks so much for tuning in today! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports, and remember to get all your gear before you leave the dock.

Let me break down what's happening out on the water today. **Tidal Conditions & Timing** We've got ourselves a First Quarter Moon phase working in our favor today. Your major bite times are locked in from 6:42 to 8:42 this morning—which is prime time right now—then again from 6:59 to 8:59 tonight. The minor bite window hits between 1:40 and 3:40 this afternoon. Low tide came through at 1:09 AM with just 0.07 feet, and we're looking at a high of 0.36 feet at 12:24 PM, followed by another low around 12:43 PM. That falling tide is gonna concentrate your fish at the drains and bayou mouths, so keep that in mind when you're planning your run. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** The boys have been crushing it out here recently. We're seeing solid action on redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and some beautiful bonito in the nearshore. Some crews have pulled in 30-plus fish in a single four-hour session with five different species. The Lake Pontchartrain bridges are absolutely turning on at dawn and dusk, especially on that moving tide, and the St. Bernard and Hopedale marshes are giving up some slot-sized reds along the grass edges. **What to Throw** For trout, work those Pontchartrain trestles with 3/8-ounce jigheads tipped with natural-colored soft plastics. When the wind lays down, switch to a popping cork with live shrimp—can't beat it. In the skinny marsh, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are drawing strikes from cruising redfish. For the structure, bottom fishing with jig-and-minnow combos is working great on flounder. Live bait is your ticket right now, but don't sleep on chunking yellowfin tuna around the platforms with vertical jigs and poppers. **Best Spots** Head down to the **Bienville Street Wharf**—it's only 1.7 kilometers out and well-lit for productive fishing. If you want some marsh action, hit up **Bayou Saint John** about 8.6 kilometers out, or work the **Inner Harbor Navigation Canal** for concentrated fish action on that falling tide.

Sun's already up at 6:34 AM and we're looking at sunset around 5:00 PM, so you've got a solid fishing window if you get out there early. The tidal coefficient is running at a low to moderate level, which means we should see some decent movement throughout the day. **What's Biting** The usual suspects are active right now. Redfish and speckled trout are the bread and butter this time of year around Lake Pontchartrain and the Barataria area. We're also seeing some quality flounder and jack crevalle action. December's shaping up to be an excellent month for sac-a-lait, so don't sleep on that opportunity coming up. **Gear Up Right** For lures, you can't go wrong with artificial options—jerkbaits like the Rapala Shadow Rap and Yo-Zuri 3DR-X are absolutely crushing it right now. If you want to stick with live bait, shiners and mullet are your go-to, or throw some cut bait for the bottom feeders. Light tackle and live bait fishing remain the most productive techniques out here. **Hit These Spots** Vermilion Bay is absolutely primo for targeting speckled trout this time of year. If you're closer to New Orleans, the Grand Isle-Barataria Estuary area offers some great winter variety. Bundle up though—the weather's been shifting. Get out there and tight lines!

We kicked things off this morning with temps in the low 60s and a breeze working out the east-northeast at about 8 knots. Skies are partly cloudy, staying mild—upper 60s by afternoon—and barometric pressure's trending slightly up, just enough to keep fish feeling feisty. If you’re keeping track, sunrise was at 6:31 AM and we’ll lose our last light around 5:01 PM. Tide-wise, folks on the Louisiana Sportsman forums report we're working a late-falling tide this morning, bottoming out just before noon and flooding again early afternoon. That classic morning outgoing is prime time for specks and redfish to feed around marsh drains and the MRGO rocks. Water reports are good. After last week’s wind and scattered rain, visibility in the marsh and ICW’s bounced back nicely—still a little stained by Delacroix, but clear by Lake Borgne and Chef Pass. Local anglers launching from Hopedale and Shell Beach yesterday were bragging about solid mixed boxes: limits on speckled trout running 13-17 inches and plenty of slot redfish—good numbers, but they did have to pick through some dinks. Best catches lately, according to both Louisiana Fishing Blog and Marina reports, are coming on **live shrimp under corks**—especially the Vudu Shrimp or popping cork with a Matrix Shad in Limbo Slice or shrimp creole color. Early risers drifting Bayou Bienvenue reported fast action throwing chartreuse topwaters like the Heddon Super Spook Jr. for specks until that sun gets up, then switching to plastics or slow-rolled jigheads as the bite slides deeper. Don’t count out the marsh ponds, either. Folks targeting reds say they’re pushing hard into shallow grass lines chasing finger mullet. If you want a fight, tie on a gold spoon or Slow Dancer paddletail; bonus flounder have been stacked at cuts sweeping bait. As for hot spots today: - **South pass around Breton Sound**—look for birds diving and slicks for fast schoolie trout. - **Lake Borgne’s Biloxi Marsh edge, just north of the long rocks**—schooling reds at sunrise, plus a shot at bull drum. - **Chef Pass and the Rigolets**—steady sheepshead and black drum for those soaking cut crab or dead shrimp. Word is, guides out of Lafitte and Delacroix brought in some whopping black drum this week, up to 35 pounds, plus a few big drum still around the bridges. For bait, nothing beats **live shrimp**, but Gulp! Swimming Mullets and Matrix soft plastics are money if you’re on the move or fishing windward points. Topwater plugs at first light might get you that big “gator” trout if you’re feeling lucky.

Let’s get right into what’s biting and where to hook ‘em today. **Weather and Tides:** We saw a mild morning with temps hovering in the upper 60s—a bit muggy but comfortable, winds SW at 7 mph. Skies are partly cloudy and that means good news for inshore folks, as fish tend to stay active longer without scorching sun. Sunrise today was at 6:37 AM and sunset will be at 5:03 PM. If you’re planning to hit the water, the major tidal swing is early afternoon, peaking around 2:30 PM—a solid window for heavier action. The falling tide all morning should keep estuary feeders in the shallows near grass beds and oyster reefs. **Recent Catches and Fish Activity:** Local charters and independent anglers have reported a strong speckled trout bite just east of Chef Menteur Pass and in the marshes behind Bayou la Loutre. Redfish action is steady, with most fish in the slot range (18–27 inches) and a handful of bulls cruising near Lake Borgne’s bayous. Out in Breton Sound, several boats boxed kingfish and flounder, and word is mahi mahi have been popping up south of the Chandeleurs. Live reports from Captain Experiences show folks catching redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and even some mangrove snapper by shell points and drop-offs. **Best Lures and Baits:** Top baits this week are live shrimp under popping corks for trout and redfish. If you’re tossing artificials, go with a chartreuse or white soft plastic paddle tail rigged on a 1/4 oz jighead—Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp are working their magic. Out around the jetties, silver spoons and topwater Zara Spooks are drawing strikes in the early morning. For mahi and kingfish, blue-and-silver trolling plugs and cut cigar minnows are landing fish consistently. **Hot Spots:** - **Hopedale Lagoon:** Excellent trout action, especially early. Fish the cuts and edges of the marsh; plenty of shrimp jumping so predators aren’t far behind. - **Lake Borgne South Shore:** Redfish and flounder feeding on the mud flats—try near Bayou Yscloskey. - **Breton Sound Rigs:** Mahi mahi and kingfish, best on a dropping tide and with faster trolling passes. Drift near the platforms with cut bait or shiny lures. Jim’s Bait and Tackle in Chalmette and Jeff’s Reel Shop in Metairie have had steady recommendations: stock up on fresh shrimp, and don’t overlook popping corks with natural colors. Louisiana Sportsman and other local forums agree—the bite is best just after first light and an hour before dusk, so plan your trip to overlap those windows for max results. If you’re heading out tomorrow, expect similar conditions—keep an eye on barometric pressure and water temps for a slight uptick in afternoon activity. Thanks for tuning in, folks.

Today’s sunrise hit at 6:34 AM and sunset’s rolling in about 5:02 PM, so you’ve got decently long daylight, but the early hours just after daybreak are prime for redfish and specks. Weather’s been cooperative after last night’s light chill (temps starting low 60s, climbing into the 70s by the afternoon), with a light north wind keeping things crisp but not rough—a welcome change from last week’s rougher chop, putting most boats back in protected water. Cloud cover is light, so the water’s clear inshore and stained edges are holding the better fish. The tide is coming in strong through late morning, peaking just after 10:30 AM, and slackening toward lunch before easing back out around 2 PM. That incoming push around sunrise to mid-morning usually stirs up shrimp and baitfish in the marsh, which lights up predator activity. Veteran local guides have been working the outer edges and deeper bayous right along those tide changes, picking up a steady mix of slot reds, plenty of school trout, and the odd flounder along oyster shell pockets. Fish activity is solid—reports from yesterday and early this morning have catches of 2–4 redfish per angler, mixes of keeper and throwback trout (lots around the 14–16" mark with a few bigger ones in the cuts), and sheepshead showing up thick around bridge pilings and reefs. Some folks out by the Rigolets and Chef Pass are finding nice black drum in the deeper holes. Best lures lately have been chartreuse soft plastics rigged tight on a quarter-ounce jighead, with Berkley PowerBait Swim Shads and Vudu Shrimp in natural colors pulling plenty of fish for those bouncing the bottom from Lake Borgne marshes into Breton Sound. Topwater baits like MirrOlure She Dog and Heddon Super Spooks have triggered early-morning blowups on calm flats, especially when the mullet are thick. Live bait is a winner as always—chunk mullet for reds, live shrimp under a popping cork for specks and sheepshead. If you’re running low on bait, don’t be afraid to cut up a fresh catch—cut bait’s been consistent on both slots and the bull reds. For hotspots, hit the following: - The east side of Lake Pontchartrain, focusing near Chef Pass and the trestles—solid trout action at daybreak with flounder along the pilings. - Hopedale Lagoon up through Bayou Biloxi, where tidal movement brings specks and reds right up to the grass lines and broken marsh. If you’re after a mixed bag, bounce around the MRGO rocks or jump down to Shell Beach, especially on that incoming tide. Folks willing to make the haul out to Breton Sound rigs are still pulling some late-season mangrove snapper and the odd jack crevalle.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 08:31:49 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your November 24, 2025, fishing report for the waters around the Gulf of Mexico, especially near New Orleans—where the big bend of the river meets the salt, and the bite is as unpredictable as a fall breeze on the delta. Today’s sunrise hit at 6:34 AM and sunset’s rolling in about 5:02 PM, so you’ve got decently long daylight, but the early hours just after daybreak are prime for redfish and specks. Weather’s been cooperative after last night’s light chill (temps starting low 60s, climbing into the 70s by the afternoon), with a light north wind keeping things crisp but not rough—a welcome change from last week’s rougher chop, putting most boats back in protected water. Cloud cover is light, so the water’s clear inshore and stained edges are holding the better fish. The tide is coming in strong through late morning, peaking just after 10:30 AM, and slackening toward lunch before easing back out around 2 PM. That incoming push around sunrise to mid-morning usually stirs up shrimp and baitfish in the marsh, which lights up predator activity.

Let’s dig in. Tide info says we’re starting the day with a low tide before sunrise, rolling toward a midday high. Sunrise hit at 6:34 am, and expect sunset at 5:01 pm. That crisp autumn air greets anglers this morning—temps are hanging in the mid-60s, northeast winds at about 8 knots, and skies mostly clear. Expect mild weather all day, with no rain and steady breezes making for solid boating conditions. Water clarity is good throughout Lake Pontchartrain into the Rigolets and deeper marshes, and salinity is holding steady after last week’s front pushed some clean Gulf water into the east side. The combination of cooler temps and stable barometer has the local reds and specks fired up and moving shallow early, then dropping into deeper cuts as the sun climbs. It’s not just promises either—boats coming back to the dock yesterday saw fat stringers. Reports from Shell Beach and Hopedale say the trout bite is hot, best in the first couple hours after sun up. Typical bags are topping out at 20-plus specks apiece, with plenty in the 16–20" class. Redfish are mixed in, stacked around grass edges and oyster shell flats, with good numbers in the slot range. Several boats logged limits by late morning. Over in Chef Pass, black drum and flounder have been showing up, especially on falling tide. Biggest surprise this week: some bull reds pushing deeper into Lake Borgne, showing off that late fall pattern early. Sheepshead are holding steady on the bridges and rigs, and a few tripletail came in from farther south, though those tend to taper off as water keeps cooling. For baits, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp or finger mullet under a popping cork—local shops like Gus’s and Campo's have them fresh. If artificials are your game, folks have been loading up on 2-inch Berkley PowerBait Power Swimmer soft plastics, which look and move just right for trout and panfish at this time of year, especially rigged on a quarter-ounce jig head. For reds and flounder, gold spoons and Johnson Beetle Spins are tearing it up in the dirty water, while Bass Mafia baits—in particular, paddle tails in “morning dawn” color—have been the ticket in clear conditions. Hotspots today: - **Shell Beach:** Best for trout and reds—work the outside grass lines early or drop back into the bayous as sun rises. - **Rigolets:** Good mix of species. Hit the deepwater cuts on the outgoing tide with live bait or spinnerbaits. - **Lake Borgne:** Chase bull reds over oyster reefs or drifting flats on moving tide. If you’re heading out, keep an eye on boat traffic—weekends bring the crowd. Check your gear twice, mind the tides for in-shore marsh runs, and stick around the bridges for bonus sheepshead if limits come slow. That’s the scoop for today in New Orleans.

The sun came up around 6:33 this mornin’ and it’ll set about 5:05 tonight, so you’ve got a good stretch of daylight to get out there. The tide’s been movin’ steady—low tide hit just after 1 am, and the next high tide’s due around 7:24 am, with water levels around 0.7 feet. The tide coefficient’s high, which means the fish are feelin’ active, especially with the moon phase swingin’ toward full. Weather’s been mild, no big fronts rollin’ in, so the water’s stayin’ clear and calm. That’s good news for sight castin’ and topwater action, especially in the marshes and along the bayous. The wind’s light, mostly outta the north, so you’ll want to fish the leeward side of the points and channels where the bait’s stackin’ up. Fish activity’s been strong—speckled trout and redfish are the main bite right now. The bridges on Lake Pontchartrain are turnin’ on at dawn and dusk, especially when the tide’s movin’. The St. Bernard and Hopedale marshes are givin’ up slot reds along the grass edges, and there’s been some flounder caught on slow-rolled jig-and-minnow combos along the channel edges. Catfish are also active, especially in the bayous and along the banks, with some big ones reported in the last few days. For lures, the Rapala DT06 crankbait’s been a solid choice, diving down to that 6-foot zone where the trout and redfish are hangin’. Gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are workin’ well for redfish in the skinny water, and don’t forget the popping cork with live shrimp when the wind lays flat. For catfish, cut bait and stink bait are your go-to’s, especially in the deeper holes and along the banks. Hot spots?

First light painted the marshes at 6:30 AM, with sunset due at 5:04 PM, giving local anglers a prime window. Today’s tide has a low at 1:09 AM, rising to a 0.36 ft high around lunch (12:24 PM) and peaking again at 0.39 ft near 2:51 PM. That moving water between noon and mid-afternoon means fish will be feeding heavy, especially during the major bite windows of 6:42–8:42 AM and again from 6:59–8:59 PM, as noted on Fishing Reminder. Weather’s been stable with some humidity lingering after the recent fronts. Clarity’s cleaned up due to earlier north winds, just right for sight casting reds along grass edges. Marsh temps are cooling off, pushing bait around and the bird action is telling you where the trout and reds are busting shrimp. Look for jumps and slicks—when you see it, get on it. Let’s talk about what’s hot. Captain Experiences reports the usual suspects firing off: speckled trout, redfish, flounder, and still some rogue drum. Just days ago, boats fishing the bridges and trestles in Lake Pontchartrain were limitting out on trout, plus a handful of slot reds. Down in Hopedale and St. Bernard marshes the redfish bite is strong on the outside windward points and drains, with occasional flounder on channel edges. Top artificial lures this week have been - 3/8-ounce jigheads paired with natural-hue soft plastics for trout. - Gold spoons and weedless paddle tails in murky marsh for reds. - Topwater plugs early, switching to subsurface jerkbaits after sunrise. If the wind lays down, popping corks rigged with live shrimp are slaying the trout on those bridge pilings and deeper bay intersections. For reds in skinny water, throw gold spoons or rig up a weedless swimbait—target those points where bait pushes up. Flounder are picking up slow-rolled jig/minnow combos along channel edges. Bait-wise, live shrimp and finger mullet have been dynamite, especially where water clarity is up. For those bottom-fishing in the deeper canals and around marinas such as the New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor, cut bait or whole mullets will tempt the black drum and even snag the occasional grouper. For land-based action, head over to the Celeste Street or Perry Street Wharfs—local legend says those spots heat up around the major tides, and night fishing under the lights is top notch. Pontchartrain trestles and the mouth of Bayou St. John also remain steady producers—especially for dawn patrol. Today’s hotspots: - Lake Pontchartrain bridges for specks and reds—best at dawn and dusk with moving water. - St. Bernard/Hopedale grass edges and drains for slot reds—especially on a falling tide. - Celeste and Perry Street Wharfs for easy access and mixed bag action. - Whisky Bayou for quiet marsh exploration and scattered flounder.

Local anglers greeted the day with a sunrise at 6:28 AM and can expect sunset to drop at 5:02 PM. Tides were moving early, with a high around 5:01 AM and dropping to low at 5:40 PM, ideal for morning setups as water movement gets bait stirring and fish feeding—always good news for rod-benders. Water temperatures are holding steady around 63°F, just right for that late fall bite to stay active. Weather is pleasant and partly cloudy, with air temps starting near 68°F and climbing into the low 70s through midday according to US Harbors. Winds are light for the most part, with occasional 8–10 knot gusts from the southeast—enough to ripple the surface and get those speckled trout and reds on the hunt. The last few days have been robust for inshore catches around reefs, bridges, and jetties. According to Louisiana Sportsman, sheepshead action is solid; big groups are stacking up around hard structure and oyster beds, making this a tackle-testing time of year. Redfish and speckled trout were landed thick in the passes and at the mouths of the marsh, with some anglers reporting two to three person limits before lunch. And yes, the snapper and grouper bite offshore isn’t slacking either—Captain Experiences shared weekend trips where red grouper, gag grouper, mangrove snapper, and even snook were caught with cut bait and fresh squid. Out near Shell Beach and Hopedale, folks are finding decent numbers of slot reds and solid stringers of trout, mixing live shrimp under popping corks and Matrix Shad plastics. Best baits for the current conditions include: - Live shrimp (classic for trout and reds). - Dead shrimp or fiddler crabs for sheepshead, especially tight to pilings. - Gold spoons and soft-plastics in chartreuse or opening night colors for active trout. - Gulp jerk shads and paddle tails are producing quality flounder around sandy cuts. - Topwater plugs at dawn are drawing out the bigger redfish at Grand Isle’s Caminada Pass. Recent enforcement around local oyster beds in St. Bernard and Terrebonne reminds everybody to respect regulations—agents seized 27 sacks for violation, so have your gear permits and harvest reports ready, especially with oystering hot right now after the cold snap. For those looking for hotspots, two picks: - Bayou Bienvenue: marsh edge and rock piles are firing for reds and drum. - Grand Isle bridge and Barataria Pass: boats working the passes and jetties are consistently pulling big trout, slot reds, and stacks of sheepshead. Don’t forget: Solunar charts are showing heavy activity today during those crepuscular periods, so match your outings to tide changes and be patient—sometimes it takes moving a few spots till it clicks, just ask the seasoned captains. With water cooling and bait flush happening, expect the bite to heat up ahead of the next cold front. Thanks for tuning in!

We started the morning under a solid coast sky with the sun breaking at 6:26 AM, expecting sunset right about 5:02 PM. Weather’s mild, humidity’s hanging in the air typical for late fall, but winds are light—perfect for both inshore and nearshore work. If you’re looking for today’s tide info, the low hit just after midnight at 1:09 AM, with the first high swinging in around 12:24 PM, cresting at 0.36 feet. Movement’s modest but expect stronger bite windows at the morning and evening majors: 6:42–8:42 AM and again from 6:59–8:59 PM, according to FishingReminder. In the marshes and bridges out Lake Pontchartrain way, action’s centered on classic fall patterns. Cooler water has pushed shrimp and baitfish up, and plenty of speckled trout and schoolie reds are shadowing these pods. Right at dawn on a moving tide, trout are firing near the trestles and causeways, with solid reports of full limits before mid-morning. A few flounder are making surprise cameos at points and cuts, snatching up slow-rolled jig and minnow combos. Redfish are feeding steady along windward grass edges—especially where that tide’s pulling bait out from the drains. A local captain told me Saturday’s trip on the St. Bernard marsh landed eight keeper reds plus a bonus chunky flounder using gold spoons and weedless paddle tails. Those north winds midweek have cleaned things up, giving us favorable water clarity, so don’t hesitate to try topwaters at daylight; color recommendations lean natural for soft plastics and gold or copper flashes for hard baits. Copper spinnerbaits are getting hot reviews right now, especially in shallower haunts where that flashing blade will draw preliminary strikes from both reds and big drum, according to the New Orleans Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report podcast. If trout is what you’re chasing, swap to a popping cork setup with live shrimp as the breeze drops off—no shame in keeping it simple. Recent catches have been solid: multiple boats reporting trout limits and a mixed bag of redfish, flounder, and even the odd black drum. Further out, deeper rigs are seeing fair yellowfin tuna on jigs and poppers—chunking and live baiting always an option when you mark the bait. As for bait, you can’t go wrong with **live shrimp** or menhaden, especially worked under a cork near drains, bays, and bayou mouths during a falling tide. Artificial lure fans, Berkley’s new soft plastics and the ever-classic weedless swimbaits are turning heads and catching fish. Best fishing hot spots today? Try the Toulouse Street Wharf early for good runoff action and easy access, or lace up your boots for the Bayou Bienvenue Marsh, which has seen a run of slot reds and quality trout at sunrise. Don’t discount Lake Borgne cuts—steady bites reported all week. Whatever your plan, keep an eye on feeding birds, slicks, and nervous bait—the fish are right behind them.

A local captain told me Saturday’s trip on the St. Bernard marsh landed eight keeper reds plus a bonus chunky flounder using gold spoons and weedless paddle tails. Those north winds midweek have cleaned things up, giving us favorable water clarity, so don’t hesitate to try topwaters at daylight; color recommendations lean natural for soft plastics and gold or copper flashes for hard baits. Copper spinnerbaits are getting hot reviews right now, especially in shallower haunts where that flashing blade will draw preliminary strikes from both reds and big drum, according to the New Orleans Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report podcast. If trout is what you’re chasing, swap to a popping cork setup with live shrimp as the breeze drops off—no shame in keeping it simple. Recent catches have been solid: multiple boats reporting trout limits and a mixed bag of redfish, flounder, and even the odd black drum. Further out, deeper rigs are seeing fair yellowfin tuna on jigs and poppers—chunking and live baiting always an option when you mark the bait. As for bait, you can’t go wrong with **live shrimp** or menhaden, especially worked under a cork near drains, bays, and bayou mouths during a falling tide. Artificial lure fans, Berkley’s new soft plastics and the ever-classic weedless swimbaits are turning heads and catching fish. Best fishing hot spots today? Try the Toulouse Street Wharf early for good runoff action and easy access, or lace up your boots for the Bayou Bienvenue Marsh, which has seen a run of slot reds and quality trout at sunrise. Don’t discount Lake Borgne cuts—steady bites reported all week. Whatever your plan, keep an eye on feeding birds, slicks, and nervous bait—the fish are right behind them.

It’s a cool, calm morning kicking off around 60 degrees and expecting to top out near 72, with just a light southern breeze. The water’s got a slight chop but is plenty fishable, and the skies are mostly clear—perfect for staying on ‘em all day long, sunup to sundown. Speaking of which, sunrise cracked at 7:03 this morning, and sunset won’t roll ‘round ’til 6:28pm, giving you a nice, full window for action. The moon will be up at 12:42pm and sets at 10:44pm, lining up a solid mid-afternoon bite just as that tidal swing starts humming[1]. Today’s tides around New Canal and Shell Beach run 2:58am low (0.5ft), peaking again near 4:29pm (0.9ft), so plan to hit those moving water windows hard. With those transitions overlapping the afternoon solunar peaks, expect a good push of feeding activity. Now, let’s get to the pulling—anglers up and down the marshes and passes have been scoring *steady limits* of speckled trout and redfish. Word from Paris Road Bridge and Shell Beach: limits of school trout coming in early on popping corks set above live shrimp, but anglers throwing Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp in natural or chartreuse colors are matching the bite just fine. For reds, it’s gulps and gold spoons tight on the grasslines early, with bigger boys lurking in the deeper potholes and cuts as the day warms—Texas Tackle split-tail grubs and fresh market shrimp doing the work. Hot bait tip—live shrimp is the king if you can get it, but fresh pogies and dead shrimp under a cork are doing damage for slot reds and drum alike. Artificial fans are having luck on topwater walkers at daybreak, especially around the bulkheads in Lake Borgne and Bayou Bienvenue. Don’t overlook that classic chrome Rat-L-Trap if you see bait busting—plenty of fun-sized jack crevalle and the odd flounder will whack it, too. Offshore, the nearer rigs and reefs in the Gulf have been giving up a mixed bag—bull reds, sheepshead, and a handful of late-season mangrove snapper. Weather’s been cooperating for smaller craft, and as long as the winds stay down, trolling for king mackerel with stretch plugs or bucktail jigs tipped with strip bait near Breton Sound could turn up some drag-ripping runs. Best action spots today: - Paris Road Bridge for early specks and a mid-day redfish push. - Shell Beach edges and marsh mouths are holding a mix of keeper trout and reds—look for birds dipping and slicks popping, and get after it. - For a shot at something special, slip down to The Rigolets or out toward Bayou Biloxi—words out folks are still catching solid black drum and sheepshead on crabs and cut bait. Mystery Tackle Box says the saltwater box this month is loaded up with paddle tails, jerkbaits, and shrimp imitations—solid bets for our waters right now[6].

The sun came up this morning at 6:25 AM, and it’ll set tonight at 6:14 PM, so you’ve got a good stretch of daylight to get out on the water. Tides are running a little tricky today—there’s just about 36 minutes left until high tide, and the water’s been swinging between a max of 1.0 foot and a low of -0.7 foot, so keep an eye on the flow. The tidal coefficient’s been on the lower side lately, which means the currents aren’t as strong, but that can actually make for some steady bites if you know where to look. Weather’s been mild, no big storms rollin’ in, just a light breeze out of the southeast. That’s good news for the fish—they’re not spooked, and you’ll have a calm day to work your lines. The water’s clear enough, and the temps are just right for redfish, speckled trout, and the occasional flounder. Out around New Canal Station and Slidell, the bite’s been steady. Anglers are bringing in redfish and trout, mostly in the 18-24 inch range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. Some folks are even reporting a few flounder near the deeper channels. The action’s been best in the early morning and late afternoon, especially when the tide’s on the move. For lures, you can’t go wrong with a copper spinner bait—those things are workin’ overtime right now, especially in the shallows. If you’re after trout, try a quarter-ounce spoon or a Rapala CD7 in brown trout or rainbow colors. For redfish, a soft plastic jerkbait or a topwater popper will get their attention. And if you’re feelin’ old school, live shrimp or cut bait still pulls in the big ones. Best spots today? Head out to Shell Beach or the Bayou Bonfouca area—those spots have been hot for redfish and trout. If you’re lookin’ for a little more action, try the Paris Road Bridge or Chef Menteur Pass. The water’s movin’ just enough to keep the fish feedin’, and you’ll have plenty of room to work your magic. Thanks for tuning in, y’all.

The sun’s rising a little later at 6:27 a.m. and you’ll have daylight till about 5:01 p.m. – that’s plenty of time to get your boots wet or the boat in the water. The weather’s mellow: starting in the low 60s, pushing into the upper 70s by afternoon, light winds shifting southeast, and only a stray cloud or two expected. It’s that kind of day that makes you glad to call South Louisiana home. Looking at the tides, we’re seeing an early morning incoming pushing through till mid-morning, then a steady drop rolling into the afternoon. According to the Spreaker New Orleans Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report Today, that's firing up inshore bite windows on both sides of the tide swing. Shrimp are still thick up inshore, and that’s keeping predators feeding close. Now, let’s talk action. The marshes and bays from Lake Borgne all the way down to Hopedale and Delacroix have been red hot. Speckled trout have been running in good numbers, especially on the moving water at main bay points and where you see diving birds working bait. Folks throwing Matrix Shad in any chartreuse or opening night have been boxing impressive speck stringers—reports have some boats on the schools with limits before 10 a.m., trout averaging 14-18 inches with some gators mixed in. Redfish are cruising the grass edges and oyster reefs on either cut mullet or live shrimp under a popping cork. Slot reds, plenty keeper-sized with a few bulls pushing up shallow on warmer flats. A few flounder are peeking back in near the oyster beds, and there’s been a buzz about a couple anglers sticking nice ones—try Gulp! Swimming Mullet close to structure if you want to pull a flatty for the skillet. Offshore, weather’s light enough to push out to the rigs. Black drum, sheepshead, and even a snapper or two (if you’re on state waters) are hitting dead shrimp or crab on bottom rigs tight up to the structure. Cobia have been seen around the buoys, so keep a big live bait or a bucktail ready just in case. For the artificial crowd, best bet’s soft plastics on 1/4 oz jig heads, especially in that limetreuse or chicken-on-a-chain color. If you want to get fancy, the Rapala 3-1/2" Shadow Shad Hard Bait is doing double-duty, pulling both trout and bass along broken marsh edges—Academy Sports points out its flash and erratic action make it hard for big fish to turn down. Live shrimp is always king if you can get it, with dead shrimp right behind. Hot spots today? Don’t sleep on Shell Beach for a mixed bag—bird action’s been steady all week. Down Delacroix way, the Oak River and Lake Campo line are holding reds and trout. In the morning, focus near drains and cuts, moving out to lake mouths as the sun gets up. If you got a kayak, hit Bayou Bienvenue—quiet water, plenty bait, and bite’s been good in the first couple hours past sunrise.

If you’re headed out this morning, bundle up—temperatures are starting near 48°F and will rise to the low 60s, with a light north wind blowing at about 8 knots. Skies are mostly clear, making for good visibility. Today’s sunrise came at 6:24 a.m. and sunset’s rolling in at 5:00 p.m. That gives plenty of daylight for both early trips and those who like to fish right up to dusk. Tides today will play a big role. We had a low tide just after midnight, with the next high tide around 10:30 a.m., then it’ll turn back out toward low again by 8:00 p.m. That morning high should have the fish a little more active in the marsh and bayous from sunrise through midday. This cooler weather and shifting water get the predators cruising, so anglers working the lower passes, especially by breakfast time, are likely to run into some real action. Reports fresh from Shell Beach and Hopedale confirm it’s been a solid week for speckled trout—nice schools in the interior marshes, especially on falling tides. Several boats limited out before 10 a.m. yesterday. Over toward Lake Borgne, good numbers of slot reds have been crushing live shrimp near oyster reefs and the mouths of small drains. Folks drifting the deeper cuts near Chef Pass are picking up both trout and drum, with a few bonus flounder. For bait and tackle: Local guides from The Big Outdoor Charters say live shrimp under a popping cork is hands-down the top producer right now. If you prefer artificial, soft plastics in chartreuse or opening night color, rigged about 18 inches under a cork or worked slow on a quarter-ounce jighead, are catching both trout and reds. On those sunny, windless days, topwaters and jerkbaits have been pulling a few bigger reds just after first light. If you’re targeting drum, try dead shrimp or cut mullet on the bottom. Quick rundown of what’s coming over the rails: - Lots of **speckled trout** between 13 and 18 inches, some limits by mid-morning. - Healthy catches of **slot redfish**, with a good number just over the legal mark. - Decent numbers of **black drum** and the odd flounder or two in deeper channels. - A handful of sheepshead are beginning to show up around pilings and bridges, especially on higher tides. Hot spots worth a visit today: - The **MRGO rocks** by Violet, working outflow points on the outgoing tide. - **Bayou Bienvenue** near the flood wall, especially on the outside bends with moving water. - Don’t sleep on **Shell Beach**, especially the areas where small bayous dump into larger lakes—a live shrimp drift here can pay off big. All signs point to fish moving shallow early, then dropping back as the sun climbs and the tide recedes. Always keep an eye out for slicks, birds, or jittery bait on the surface. With water clarity holding up from the north wind, your odds of sighting fish are higher than last week.

With the sun rising at 6:22 AM and setting tonight at 5:02 PM, we’re starting the day with a gentle southeast breeze around 7 knots, scattered clouds, and temps climbing from the low 60s into the mid 70s. Water temps are steady near 70 degrees—ideal conditions for inshore action, though keep an eye on the forecast for an afternoon shift as humidity rises and clouds build. Tidal movement is solid today, peaking just after sunrise, falling through midday, and picking up again later in the afternoon. These swing tides have been driving bait along the marsh lines and around the jetties, setting up prime windows for quick bites from redfish and specks. Fish activity has been lively across Lake Borgne, the Rigolets, and out toward Shell Beach. Captain Experiences logs show great action these past few days, with near-limit catches for redfish and plenty of speckled trout—reports as recent as yesterday have anglers filling ice chests steadily all morning, especially when working birds and bait slicks near the passes. A few flounder have made their appearance in shallower flats, and the bayous are giving up some healthy black drum. Best lures right now? Locals are sticking with the classics. Under the birds and in moving water, soft plastics like Matrix Shad in lemon-head or avocado colors have been producing trout back-to-back. For reds, gold spoons and chartreuse spinnerbaits are the ticket along grassy points, with a few bonus fish on topwater plugs at dawn. Jigheads fished slow on the bottom, tipped with Gulp shrimp, are catching the flounder and drum. Live bait is strong too: shrimp on a Carolina rig or free-lined works when the artificial bite slows, especially near deeper cuts. Cut menhaden and crab are the choice if you’re soaking for bigger drum or bull reds off the canal edges. Hot spots this week: - The Rigolets has been loaded with trout, especially early in the outgoing tide. - Shell Beach, particularly near the MRGO rocks, is holding redfish and black drum. - Lake Borgne’s east shore, drifting the oyster reefs, for steady speckled trout action. Charter captains are calling this one of the best Novembers in recent years for action and variety. Multiple reports from Captain Experiences clients just over the last weekend mention “catching lots of different species,” “limits of reds and trout,” with guides moving to where the fish are biting and not afraid to switch spots or tactics. Veteran guide Jay put clients on “back-to-back trout all morning,” and others report “cleaning up with sand trout and filling chests for the fryer.” Folks are landing seven to fifteen keeper fish per trip on average, and the mornings have been best before the wind picks up.

National Weather Service out of New Orleans calls for north winds steady at 10 to 15 knots and waves hovering in the 2 to 3 foot range, so small craft were rocking a bit but not enough to stop the bite. High pressure moving in should keep things calm but brisk today and early this week. Sunrise hit us right at 6:23 AM, and we’re looking at sunset around 5:04 PM. Tides around Grand Isle are working a decent swing, with high tide peaking around mid-morning and low tide falling out just after lunch, prime for folks wanting to work the falling water along marsh drains and shell banks. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches:** November fishing is lighting up like the French Quarter at dusk. Reports from local guides and regulars say speckled trout and redfish have fired up in the marsh, particularly as water temps dip and schools transition from the lakes and bays toward winter holes. Just this weekend, multiple inshore boats limited out on slot reds and picked through schools of speckled trout under slicks and diving birds—Capt. Jay worked the edges of Lake Borgne and hammered the trout, with folks culling dinks for keepers all morning. Offshore, weather limited effort, but when boats got out past the Chandeleur Islands, bull reds ran strong and some nice black drum and sheepshead were caught around deeper rigs and cuts. A few tripletail were brought in by tossing live shrimp under buoys east of the river. Red snapper season is closed, but charter reports from last week noted hefty mangrove snapper and lane snapper caught on reefs and wrecks near the mouth of the Mississippi. Strong bites on cut bait and soft plastics near structure. A hot hand even put a couple nice flounder in the box near oyster beds! **Best Lures & Baits:** Marsh reds are eating up gold spoons, chartreuse paddle tail soft plastics on a 1/4 oz jighead, and old-school live market shrimp under popping corks. For specks, Matrix Shad in “shrimp creole” or “lemon head” have been hot, especially rigged on light jigheads bounced off the bottom of points and windblown shorelines. If you’re soaking bait, fresh dead shrimp and finger mullet will tempt everything from black drum to flounder. Offshore, those chasing snapper or mangroves are still swearing by squid strips and menhaden chunks, while big bull reds won’t turn down a live mullet or cracked crab. **Hot Spots:** For inshore anglers, Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO wall are holding fat reds and trout, especially near the edges where marsh drains meet deeper channels. Another consistent producer: Hopedale Lagoon—work those oyster reefs on a moving tide for a mixed bag. Out on the coast, the east side of Grand Isle and Fourchon Beach have seen steady runs of slot drum and trout at first light.

Mon, 10 Nov 2025 08:36:44 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your November 10th, 2025 Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans-area fishing report—let’s dive right into the bayou action. **Weather & Tides:** We kicked off the morning with a cool northerly breeze. National Weather Service out of New Orleans calls for north winds steady at 10 to 15 knots and waves hovering in the 2 to 3 foot range, so small craft were rocking a bit but not enough to stop the bite. High pressure moving in should keep things calm but brisk today and early this week. Sunrise hit us right at 6:23 AM, and we’re looking at sunset around 5:04 PM.

Today we're waking up to a classic coastal fall morning—temperatures hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s at first light, with a sunrise at 6:21 AM and sunset dialing in around 5:28 PM. We've got light northwest winds this morning switching due north this afternoon, expected to build from about 10 knots to upwards of 20–25 knots, and seas pushing 2 to 4 feet, building higher later as that cold front moves in according to the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. There's a Small Craft Advisory, so smaller boats should keep a close eye on afternoon conditions. The tide is running low today, with a tidal coefficient of 41 this morning and a midday drop to 37, according to Tides4Fishing's report for New Canal Station. Translation: that tidal swing is small, and current will be weak. You’ll want to focus your efforts during those key movement periods—the last couple hours around the low and high tides. That low amplitude favors inshore and backwater action, especially around the marshes, bayous, and drainage points. Recent catches have been strong as the cool front’s arrival has the **speckled trout** and **redfish** pushed into interior marshes and bayous. Local anglers are reporting limits of specks in places like Lake Pontchartrain’s south shore and the Chef Menteur passes. Redfish are thick in the Biloxi Marsh, with slot reds eager to eat along grass points and shell flats. Anglers using popping corks tipped with live shrimp or Matrix Shad plastics in purple haze and shrimp creole colors are seeing the best results. Topwater action early—and even into mid-morning on cloudy days—has produced some explosive strikes around flooded grass. Out in the deeper passes and nearshore rigs, the drum bite is still on. Folks drifting Carolina-rigged cut mullet or crab are wrestling in some solid black drum and the odd sheepshead. The flounder run is on the upswing—recent YouTube trip reports around the Louisiana barrier islands are full of “doormat”-sized fish taken on live finger mullet and white paddletail soft plastics bounced slow along the bottom. Hot spots today include: - **Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO Wall:** Consistent trout and redfish reports, clear water, good bait movement. - **Biloxi Marsh, near Bayou La Loutre:** High concentrations of reds holding on points; the marsh drains are loaded on the outgoing tide. Weather-wise, the wind’s turning up midday—so hit those protected marshes, inside cuts, and leeward banks. Artificial lures to bring include: - **Matrix Shad in shrimp creole and purple haze** - **Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ in pearl or glow** - **Topwater baits like the Heddon Super Spook Junior** for those early morning pushes. - For bait, live shrimp or finger mullet are gold standards.

We’re off to a crisp start this Saturday—cooler air rolled in overnight and the winds are hovering out the north-northeast at 10 to 15 knots, gusting higher mid-morning. Skies are mostly clear, but prepare for a little increase in cloud cover this afternoon according to NOAA’s marine forecast. Water temps are sitting right at 67°F, so the bite’s still steady but fish are thinking fall patterns. Tides today in the greater New Orleans area are showing a high at 8:08 AM, cresting just under 0.8 feet, and we’ll be dropping out with a low at 9:35 PM at only 0.18 feet, per Tide-Forecast and Tides4Fishing. Sunrise came up at 6:20 AM; sunset’s at 5:07 PM. That big outgoing tide all day means bait’s getting flushed from the grass and marsh, so gamefish will be staging on points and drains. Fishing action lately has been downright solid. Spreaker’s November update says speckled trout and redfish are on fire in the marshes and passes. Recent catches are seeing limits of school trout—mostly 13 to 16 inches, but plenty of keepers—coming out of Lake Borgne, Chef Menteur Pass, and the nearshore rigs off Shell Beach. Popping corks rigged with Matrix Shad, Vudu Shrimp, or live shrimp continue to hammer ‘em. Early risers working light popping corks just inside the Biloxi Marsh have had easy limits, cracking that first hour after sunup. Redfish are stacking in the ponds and along the Roseau cane edges from Delacroix to Hopedale. I heard from Captain Chase out by Shell Beach on November 3rd that his party caught their limit of big reds—eight more going back in the water—and gigged four flounder before weather rolled in (via Captain Experiences). Cut mullet and shrimp on jigheads are top, but if you want serious fun, tie on a gold spoon or a chartreuse spinnerbait and bump it along the grass points. As for offshore: when weather lets you slip through the passes, the nearshore rigs are producing hefty sheepshead, black drum, and a few lingering mangrove snapper. If you’re lucky, you might still tangle with a bull red out there busting up the menhaden schools. The live bait bite’s reliable, but don’t overlook a strip of cut squid for those drum. Best lures and baits this week: - Matrix Shad (Lemonhead or Shrimp Creole colors) - Vudu Shrimp under a popping cork - 3” Gulp! Swimming Mullet (white or chartreuse) - Gold spoons for reds - Live shrimp or finger mullet when you can get ‘em - Cut mullet or menhaden for the big boys Hot spots right now? Try Rigolets Pass—trout are loaded up at the mouths of the deeper cuts. Shell Beach is producing mixed bags off the rocks and easy access to the marshes. Southshore anglers should check Bayou Bienvenue locks for drum and flounder—work the eddies on the falling tide.

Get that coffee hot and your reels ready—here’s what’s biting today, where, and how to fill that box before sunset. We’re off to a foggy, humid start this morning, classic early November stuff. Sunrise hit at 6:21 a.m., and we’ll have the sun hanging around until 5:05 p.m. Winds are light from the north-northeast, air crisp in the low 60s early, warming into the upper 70s by midday. Storm threat low, just a mix of clouds and sunshine. Water clarity is improving—thanks, north winds—the perfect recipe to sneak up on those hungry redfish. Check your tides: low hit just after 1 a.m. at 0.07 feet and your next high is rolling in around 12:24 p.m., peaking at 0.36 feet, with another quick low then small push high by late afternoon. That noonish high combines with the warming sun, priming those marsh drains and points for a solid fall bite according to Fishingreminder. As that tide drops, every cut, drain, and shell point around Bayou Bienvenue, Hopedale, and the interior marsh will stack up bait and fish. Now, onto what’s hot: Speckled trout are thick just outside Lake Pontchartrain’s bridges, especially at dawn and dusk, with schoolie redfish mixed in. Popping corks with live shrimp are working best when the breeze settles, but natural-colored soft plastics on a 3/8-ounce jighead—working ‘em slow and low near pilings—are nailing the keepers. For more aggressive action at first light, topwater plugs like the Super Spook or Skitter Walk can draw explosive hits from both trout and reds. Down near the marsh edges and cuts, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails in chartreuse or opening night are killer for slot reds, especially around windblown points. If you’re searching for flounder, try a slow-rolled jig tipped with a minnow along deeper channel edges or undercut banks—don’t be afraid to revisit those old faithfuls, as every drain could be loaded after this week’s tidal swings. The Shreveport boys at Captain Experiences reported plenty of action this week: limits of redfish up to 28 inches, steady numbers of slot specks, a couple of chunky flounder, and even a surprise black drum at the trestles. A few guides are scoring bonus yellowtail snapper and mangrove out by the rigs, but that’s a longer run in calm weather. For bait, it’s tough to beat live shrimp under a cork for specks right now, but finger mullet and mud minnows are solid redfish baits. Cut pogies are always a must if you’re soaking on the bottom for drum or hoping for a bull red. Two local hot spots that’ve been firing this week: - The spans along the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway and Seabrook Bridge at dawn—moving water, diving birds, trout all over. - The marsh drains at Reggio and Hopedale on the outgoing tide—if you see pelicans diving and bait popping, drop anchor and work the area slow.

Sun cracked the horizon at 6:17 this morning and sets tonight at 5:24, giving you about eleven hours of light to chase some fins. Winds started soft out the northeast, barely pushing 6 knots, and skies are fair—classic late-fall weather that brings out those big Louisiana trout and reds. Tide’s running on the mild side today. According to Tides4Fishing, the tidal coefficient is low—just 41 this morning, dipping further through the day, so tidal currents will be gentle. Expect less water movement, which means fish won’t stray too far from structure or the deeper holes. High and low tide swings are modest, topping out at about a foot at the New Canal Station and Grand Isle. The best action today is likely around slack high tide in the late morning, with some bonus bites at changeovers. Let’s talk fish—it’s prime time for speckled trout and redfish all up and down the marshes and barrier islands. Louisiana Sportsman shared that the Buras-Venice area is still hot, with “just about everything biting at the mouth of the Mississippi River.” If you want easy limits of specks, November is kayak heaven, and pier and bank anglers are stacking up solid stringers as well. Recent catches include 2-to-3 pound specks, plenty of slot reds, and even a few bull reds released after a good tussle—case in point, a 40-inch bull red was landed on a Redfish Magic spinnerbait near Lafitte last week. Live shrimp on a popping cork remains the gold standard for both specks and reds—can’t go wrong. If you’re going artificial, toss Matrix Shad, Down South Lures, or chartreuse/white paddle tails. Topwater plugs at sunrise and sunset, like the MirrOlure She Dog and Zara Spook Jr., are triggering explosive strikes, especially near grass beds and oyster reefs as the light gets low. For reds, spinnerbaits and gold spoons are still producing with slow, steady retrieves along marsh drains and flooded grass. Those fishing in deeper passes and around the rigs have reported kingfish, a few lucky flounder, and scattered schools of mangrove snapper. Offshore action is slower today thanks to mild tides and stable barometric pressure, but someone always finds mahi or jack around weed lines if they put in the miles. Hot spots for today: - **Barataria Pass near Grand Isle**: Reds and trout are working the edges of oyster beds, with bonus flounder on the drop-offs. - **Rigolets at Chef Menteur Pass**: Specks are tracking shad schools at daybreak—bring your paddle tails and a popping cork. - **Lakeshore Park bulkheads**: Quick access from downtown, and steady bites of panfish and smaller reds for easy fun. Keep an eye out around the menhaden boats—according to Louisiana Illuminator, the conflict over buffer rules continues. Sport fishers are sticking to the half-mile zones—these areas are seeing less bycatch and more redfish and trout.

If you’re tuning in from the Big Easy or packing up for a saltwater run, here’s what you can expect in our corner of the coast today. Let’s kick things off with the **tide and weather report**. New Canal Station is showing a tidal coefficient around 34 to 41, so we’re working with weaker tides and mellow currents—meaning less dramatic water movement. It’s a cooler morning with **north winds** still hanging around, which is keeping the water clean and the marshes crisp. Expect sunrise at 6:38 AM and sunset at 5:14 PM. Bring a light jacket if you’re heading out early or planning to ride those dusk bites. According to MarineWeather, winds are staying southeast at about 5 to 10 knots, with waves a foot or less—perfect conditions to get out there and set the hook. Fishing activity is picking up now that cool fronts have started to settle in, and predators are feeding heavy at dawn and dusk. With the **fall transition**, the **speckled trout bite is hot** over the oyster reefs and around the bridges in Lake Pontchartrain. Local legends from Louisiana Sportsman and guides across the marsh are reporting fast morning action on topwaters, especially just before sunrise. Once the grass starts warming up, swap over to soft plastics under a popping cork for suspended trout working in 4 to 6 feet of water. **Redfish are running strong** along the drains and edges of the marsh, especially on a falling tide. A familiar tip from local hands: Work gold spoons or toss live shrimp near those pinch points. Around the mouths—think Hopedale or Shell Beach—slot reds are hanging tight to current-swept points, while **bull reds** in the 30- to 40-inch class are cruising the passes near Grand Isle and the Mississippi River jetties. Bring some cut mullet or crab if you’re hunting a biggie. If it’s **flounder you’re after**, paddle tails slow-rolled along the bottom of current seams are putting fish in the box. Reports from this past weekend show steady numbers, with some doormats sliding up around Rigolets Pass and the cuts feeding into Lake Borgne. On the freshwater side, the Atchafalaya and spillway bass are chasing shad, making crankbaits and finesse plastics the go-to when the wind’s up. The best lures this week? Top choices are **Salt Pro Minnows, gold spoons, and soft plastics** like Matrix Shad in natural colors. Bring along live shrimp or fresh cut bait for either under a cork or on the bottom. The bite is strongest with water moving, especially two hours on either side of a falling tide. Hot spots? You can’t go wrong with: - **Lake Pontchartrain bridges** (Highway 11 and the Twin Spans) for trout and slot reds. - **Shell Beach and the MRGO** for mixed bags and that first true cold front bull red action. - The **Bayou Bienvenue locks and marsh drains** for limits of slot reds and flatties on the right tide.

Wed, 05 Nov 2025 08:36:29 -0000 full Inception Point AI It’s Artificial Lure reporting with your Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans fishing update for November 5, 2025. If you’re tuning in from the Big Easy or packing up for a saltwater run, here’s what you can expect in our corner of the coast today. Let’s kick things off with the **tide and weather report**. New Canal Station is showing a tidal coefficient around 34 to 41, so we’re working with weaker tides and mellow currents—meaning less dramatic water movement. It’s a cooler morning with **north winds** still hanging around, which is keeping the water clean and the marshes crisp. Expect sunrise at 6:38 AM and sunset at 5:14 PM. Bring a light jacket if you’re heading out early or planning to ride those dusk bites. According to MarineWeather, winds are staying southeast at about 5 to 10 knots, with waves a foot or less—perfect conditions to get out there and set the hook. Fishing activity is picking up now that cool fronts have started to settle in, and predators are feeding heavy at dawn and dusk. With the **fall transition**, the **speckled trout bite is hot** over the oyster reefs and around the bridges in Lake Pontchartrain. Local legends from Louisiana Sportsman and guides across the marsh are reporting fast morning action on topwaters, especially just before sunrise. Once the grass starts warming up, swap over to soft plastics under a popping cork for suspended trout working in 4 to 6 feet of water. **Redfish are running strong** along the drains and edges of the marsh, especially on a falling tide. A familiar tip from local hands: Work gold spoons or toss live shrimp near those pinch points. Around the mouths—think Hopedale or Shell Beach—slot reds are hanging tight to current-swept points, while **bull reds** in the 30- to 40-inch class are cruising the passes near Grand Isle and the Mississippi River jetties. Bring some cut mullet or crab if you’re hunting a biggie. If it’s **flounder you’re after**, paddle tails slow-rolled along the bottom of current seams are putting fish in the box. Reports from this past weekend show steady numbers, with some doormats sliding up around Rigolets Pass and the cuts feeding into Lake Borgne. On the freshwater side, the Atchafalaya and spillway bass are chasing shad, making crankbaits and finesse plastics the go-to when the wind’s up. The best lures this week? Top choices are **Salt Pro Minnows, gold spoons, and soft plastics** like Matrix Shad in natural colors. Bring along live shrimp or fresh cut bait for either under a cork or on the bottom. The bite is strongest with water moving, especially two hours on either side of a falling tide. Hot spots? You can’t go wrong with: - **Lake Pontchartrain bridges** (Highway 11 and the Twin Spans) for trout and slot reds. - **Shell Beach and the MRGO** for mixed bags and that first true cold front bull red action. - The **Bayou Bienvenue locks and marsh drains** for limits of slot reds and flatties on the right tide.

It’s the fourth of November—fall’s setting in deep, and the fishing is cranking up. Let’s get into the day’s report. Sunrise came at 6:18 a.m. and we’ll see sunset at 5:05 p.m. Today started off cool, with a gentle breeze out the north—about 6 to 12 knots—and mostly sunny skies. Temps this morning hovered in the high 50s but we’ll warm to nearly 70 by noon, making it prime time for a bite. Light jackets early, shirtsleeves by midday. Tides are working in our favor with a high tide pushing in just after 9 a.m., and the low slacking off around 2:45 p.m. That mid-morning push will have the marsh draining bait, and the predators are set to feast. Water clarity’s good after a few dry days, with the marsh grasses golden and the bayous clear. Let’s talk recent catches. Across the marsh edges and in Lake Borgne, guides are putting anglers on solid redfish up to 35 inches. Schoolie reds are thick, with some bruiser bulls popping up near Rigolets and Chef Menteur Pass. Speckled trout have been steady over oyster reefs—most of ‘em 13-17 inches, but pods of bigger specs are around deeper cuts. Folks are hauling in limits when the bite’s on, especially during that falling tide. Black drum are working the deeper holes and so are sheepshead, if you shrimp around bridge pilings. Latest reviews out of local charters are all smiles—some boats reporting 20-30 reds, with catch and release keeping the action honest. Trout counts depend on moving water; on good days, anglers are stacking a couple dozen apiece. Flounder showed up near Bayou Bienvenue, with some fat slabs mixed in. TripleTail and Jack Crevalle are less consistent lately, but don’t be surprised if one bends your rod. For baits, live shrimp under a popping cork is money everywhere right now. If you don’t have shrimp, mud minnows or finger mullet on a Carolina rig will do you right. But don’t overlook artificials—MirrOlure’s MirrOdine, Z-Man’s DieZel Minnow in Houdini, and Matrix Shad in Lemon Head are slamming specks and slot reds. Topwater plugs are working early, especially in the calm shallows north of Shell Beach—try a Super Spook, walk it slow for that fall blow-up. Scented soft plastics like Gulp! Shrimp on a 1/4 oz jighead make a difference when the water cools and fish get picky. Hot spots today: - The Biloxi Marsh is on fire for reds and specks; fish drain mouths at high tide for best results. - Lake Borgne’s southern shorelines are holding trout and drum—work the broken shell and bayous leading in. - Rigolets Pass for big red action and maybe a black drum kicker; bridge pilings and deep bends are producing. If you’re after meat for the skillet, stick to live shrimp. Heading for a trophy, break out that popping cork or toss a big paddle-tail. Watch your tide, match your lure color to water clarity, and don’t ignore the wind line—where the chop meets calm is where the bait st This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise came in at 6:58 this morning and you can expect the sun to dip behind the marsh at 6:37 this evening, giving us about 11 hours of daylight—plenty of time to wet a line. Weather’s starting out in the mid-60s with a gentle north wind. That’s clearing the water inshore, making things just right for sight-fishing those marsh reds and speckled trout. According to the National Weather Service, surface winds should stay light all day with mild, partly cloudy skies—perfect fall conditions for fishing the marsh, bays, and barrier islands. We’re on a low tidal coefficient today—about 41, dipping to 37 at midday—which means don’t expect strong tidal swings or fast-flowing currents. High tide peaked early this morning, and it'll start easing down toward slack in midday before a subtle rise in the evening. While the tides are soft, that’s prime time for sneaking up on fish stacked near deeper channels, oyster reefs, and marsh drains. Best bite’ll be at dawn and dusk: lower light, lighter winds, and moving water. Fishing is definitely picking up with these fall fronts. The last couple days saw plenty of speckled trout action around Lake Pontchartrain and the bridges, where soft plastics under a popping cork are landing solid stringers. Early morning, try a topwater plug like a Rapala Skitter Walk or Heddon Super Spook Jr., then switch to Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp when the sun rises. As for reds, look for them tight to marsh edges and drains out by Hopedale and Delacroix. Gold spoons, spinnerbaits, and live shrimp under a cork are the ticket. Anglers in Venice are still pulling in some hefty bull reds around the jetties and passes—these brutes are hitting cut mullet and crab. A few nice flounder have turned up in current-swept pockets inside the bays; slow-rolling a paddle tail jig right on bottom is the classic tactic. If you want to tangle with bass, those Atchafalaya spillway drains are holding decent largemouths that are pushing shad—crankbaits on windy banks are getting smoked early, while finesse worms on drops are producing as the day goes on. Recent catches have included limits of speckled trout in the 14-20 inch range, plenty of slot redfish, and the occasional big drum and flounder mixed in. Some guides are reporting 25-50 trout per boat on a good morning, especially working moving water and oyster shell. For bait, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp—either freelined or under a cork—but don’t overlook artificial lures today. Water clarity’s good, and that north wind makes for confident fish. Chartreuse and purple plastics are working well. Fresh cut mullet or blue crab chunks are catnip for bull reds at the outer passes and bay mouths. If you’re looking for a hot spot, check out the bridges on Lake Pontchartrain for specks early, especially along the I-10 and Highway 11 bridges.

It’s Sunday, November 2, 2025, and I’m here to get you dialed in for a killer day on the water. First off, let’s talk tides, because around here, that’s half the battle. Today’s tidal report shows we’re lookin’ at a moderate tidal swing—nothing too drastic, but enough to get the fish moving. Dawn low was just past sunrise, and we’re building toward a midday high, so expect the bite to really turn on late morning through early afternoon, especially if you’re chasing reds and specks in the marsh. Weather’s cooperating too. According to local forecasts, we’re starting off with a light chill in the air, mid-60s at sunrise (which was right around 6:30 this mornin’), and climbing up to the low 70s by midday with mostly sun and just a light breeze out of the north. Sunset’s set for about 5:15 PM, so you’ve got nearly 11 hours of prime fishin’ time. Just watch for that north wind pickin’ up after lunch—could make the marsh a little choppy, but the open bays and main passes should stay manageable. Now, let’s get to the good stuff—the fish. The speckled trout bite’s been solid lately, with plenty of fish in the 16- to 20-inch range being hauled in from the deeper pockets in the Biloxi Marsh and around Hopedale. Live shrimp under a popping cork is still the go-to, but don’t sleep on artificials—soft plastics like the MirrOlure Lil John and Down South Lures’ Cajun Croaker are gettin’ slammed, especially when tipped with a piece of fresh shrimp. Some of the old timers up at Shell Beach are reporting plenty of slot redfish, too, with a few bulls mixed in for those willing to work the drop-offs and oyster beds. Croakers and mullet chunks are the ticket for those big reds. For those lookin’ for a little variety, there’s still a good flounder catch in the deeper cuts and under the bridges—try a glow-colored grub on a jig head bounced slowly along the bottom. And rumor has it a few schools of black drum are showing up in the Mississippi River passes—chunk a crab on the bottom and hold on. Saltwater fly guys, you’re in luck. The morning incoming tide has been consistent for sight-casting reds in the shallow ponds, and a small Clouser or Spoon Fly in gold and olive will get you tight. Freshwater anglers headed to the bayous and spillways: bass are stacked up in pre-winter holes, and your favorite spinnerbait or swim jig is gonna get crushed. Hot spots for today? Try the reefs and points in the Rigolets, especially on the north side where the current’s stacking up baitfish. The shell pads out of Delacroix are holding good trout, and the mouths of Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO have been kicking out slot reds and the occasional bull. For something a little closer to town, try the Lake Pontchartrain seawall around the Bonnabel Boat Launch—there’s always something biting there, and it’s an easy This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s brisk out here—classic post-front conditions, just like us locals love. Weatherwise, the National Weather Service says we’ve got cool temps with north winds under 5 knots this morning, so the water's laid down pretty flat with seas at three feet or less, but heads up: tonight looks breezier, shifting southeast and picking up later with a cold front—expect a bit more chop and some scattered showers moving through by tomorrow. Plan accordingly and maybe hit those close-in haunts unless you want to tangle with wind in open water. Sunrise came at 6:18 a.m., with sunset due just a hair before 5:25 p.m., giving us about 11 hours of daylight—plenty for those dawn and dusk bites. Tides are gentle today: at New Canal Station, the tidal coefficient sits at 41—kinda tame, so not much water moving, but that means cleaner water in the marshes and lakes, great for sight-fishing specks and reds. The bite is hot for November. Cooler temps are pushing speckled trout into Lake Pontchartrain and around the bridges, where oyster reefs and pilings hold baitfish. Locals have been whacking limits at daybreak using topwater baits in the low light, then switching to soft plastics on a ⅛-ounce jig or under a popping cork as that sun lifts. Lake Borgne’s been steady too—wind-driven points with tide are key. Redfish fans, y’all know what time it is: the marsh drains off Shell Beach and the Biloxi Marsh are loaded with slot reds on the falling tide. Anglers working gold spoons and live shrimp near points and bayou mouths are grinning ear to ear, and those working cut mullet or crab around the Grand Isle jetties report steady bull reds—bring beefy gear if you plan to tangle with the bigger ones. Flounder are on the move as their autumn run kicks off—slow-roll a paddle tail on the bottom around current-swept edges and you’ll likely pick up a flatfish or two. Don’t overlook blue catfish in the deeper channels of the Mississippi—cut bait’s the trick, with some big fish moving through as water cools. What’s working best lately? The local sharpies swear by the Prawn USA Original shrimp lure, especially in clearer water where the subtle glide gets those smarter specks and reds to commit—a real gamechanger for skipping under docks or drifting through the grass. For bait, nothing beats live shrimp under a popping cork for numbers, but don’t shy from finger mullet or mud minnows for the bigger fish. And always keep a gold spoon in your box—just about everything here will smack it. Looking for hot spots today? Try the Lake Pontchartrain bridges at sunrise for a fast trout limit, or marsh drains on the east side—Shell Beach and Reggio are both producing. Out toward Grand Isle, hit the surf or the jetties on a falling tide for redfish and an outside shot at flounder and drum.

The early autumn bite has been classic southern Louisiana—sunrise kicked off at 7:13 am and sunset will wrap it up at 6:14 pm, giving us a solid 11 hours of daylight to work the water. According to US Harbors, we’ll see sunshine most of the day, with calm temps hovering around the mid-60s, making it prime time for anglers to hit the marsh, the bridges, and the bays. Winds are light, water temps holding in the high 60s, and tidal activity is moderate today. At New Canal Station, we’re seeing a low-tide around 1:29 am, and an afternoon high at 3:21 pm, with a coefficient near 54. It’s not the strongest swing but enough movement that you’ll want to focus your casts around the transitions for best results. Fish activity has been strong all week in and around Lake Pontchartrain, the Chef, and the Rigolets, with anglers boating healthy numbers of speckled trout and slot-sized reds. Louisiana Sportsman reports kayak anglers and waders have been filling coolers with specks all through October, especially on the falling tide. Grand Isle is seeing bull reds almost everywhere along the beach, and local chatter says the trout bite's hot right up into November. Most recent catches are coming in early and late, so get your lines in before that sun climbs and as it starts to dip. Best baits this week have been live shrimp and croaker for the traditionalists—never a bad call in these waters. If you’re working artificial, tie on a Matrix Shad in Lemon Head or Shrimp Creole, rigged on a 1/4 oz jighead to get down in the deeper bayous and passes. Topwater lures like the MirrOLure She Dog or Heddon Super Spook Jr. excel right around dawn and dusk—watch for that explosive surface bite when the tide’s running. Soft plastics in chartreuse and glow are flat-out producing on trout, especially when bounced along the oyster reefs and bulkheads. Redfish have been active anywhere there’s structure or a drain dumping into main channels—try a gold spoon or Gulp! shrimp under a popping cork for both reds and flounder. Local guides are reporting consistent limits of 16- to 20-inch reds with a few bulls cruising deeper marsh lakes. Catfish are steady near the bridges and pilings—cut bait or chicken liver will get the job done any hour. For those looking to make the most out of their day, don’t miss these hot spots: - **The Rigolets**: Trout and reds stacked up near the bridge on the moving tide, especially around the grass lines and drop-offs. - **Lake Borgne Shoreline**: Consistent numbers of specks working the pockets behind the grass when the tide falls, with bonus reds mixed in. - **Chef Menteur Pass**: Deep holes and oyster beds around the railroad bridge are holding big trout, with plenty of drum and sheepshead as bycatch.

Fish activity has been strong all week in and around Lake Pontchartrain, the Chef, and the Rigolets, with anglers boating healthy numbers of speckled trout and slot-sized reds. Louisiana Sportsman reports kayak anglers and waders have been filling coolers with specks all through October, especially on the falling tide. Grand Isle is seeing bull reds almost everywhere along the beach, and local chatter says the trout bite's hot right up into November. Most recent catches are coming in early and late, so get your lines in before that sun climbs and as it starts to dip. Best baits this week have been live shrimp and croaker for the traditionalists—never a bad call in these waters. If you’re working artificial, tie on a Matrix Shad in Lemon Head or Shrimp Creole, rigged on a 1/4 oz jighead to get down in the deeper bayous and passes. Topwater lures like the MirrOLure She Dog or Heddon Super Spook Jr. excel right around dawn and dusk—watch for that explosive surface bite when the tide’s running. Soft plastics in chartreuse and glow are flat-out producing on trout, especially when bounced along the oyster reefs and bulkheads. Redfish have been active anywhere there’s structure or a drain dumping into main channels—try a gold spoon or Gulp! shrimp under a popping cork for both reds and flounder. Local guides are reporting consistent limits of 16- to 20-inch reds with a few bulls cruising deeper marsh lakes. Catfish are steady near the bridges and pilings—cut bait or chicken liver will get the job done any hour. For those looking to make the most out of their day, don’t miss these hot spots: - **The Rigolets**: Trout and reds stacked up near the bridge on the moving tide, especially around the grass lines and drop-offs. - **Lake Borgne Shoreline**: Consistent numbers of specks working the pockets behind the grass when the tide falls, with bonus reds mixed in. - **Chef Menteur Pass**: Deep holes and oyster beds around the railroad bridge are holding big trout, with plenty of drum and sheepshead as bycatch. Keep an eye out for birds working over bait—classic sign of hungry trout below.

Let’s break down the action for October 30th, 2025. We kicked off today under a strong cold front that pushed through overnight, bringing gusty northwest winds. Gale warnings were in effect until 7 AM, so early birds found those winds running 25-30 knots and seas rough at 4 to 6 feet, with some spots seeing occasional 8-footers according to the National Weather Service. Luckily, as the morning progresses, winds drop to 15-20 knots and seas follow suit, settling at 2 to 4 feet. By late afternoon and into evening, things’ll calm down some more—a classic pattern after a cold front rolls over the marsh. Sunrise cracked at 7:12 AM at New Canal Station, and you’ll get just over 11 hours of daylight today. Sunset is expected around 6:18 PM; those golden hours remain prime for big bites. On the tide, today’s coefficients are on the low side, bouncing from 41 this morning and dropping to 34 by the evening. This means less current and smaller tide swings, so focus on structure and deeper channels for stronger action. High tide’s hitting about 9 AM—perfect timing if you’re launching early from places like Shell Beach or Grand Isle. Now let’s talk what’s biting. The mouth of the Mississippi River is “a buffet line” this month—classic Louisiana Sportsman words. Almost anything is on the table. Bull reds have been tearing it up on the beaches over at Grand Isle, especially early morning and at dusk. Folks are still celebrating last week’s catches, like Connor Junot’s monster red out at Dulac, bagged on a watermelon Strike King Rage Craw. For the inshore crowd, decent numbers of speckled trout and sheepshead are moving through the marshes, with some real slabs showing around Bayou Black. Joey Weimer had her best sac-a-lait trip ever in late August, and the crappie bite hasn’t cooled off much since. If you’re heading offshore, keep in mind the recreational red snapper allocation is just about tapped—LA Creel reported 96.7% caught for 2025, so regulations are tight and options limited. Best to stick with inshore action this week. Bait and tackle recommendations: spinnerbaits and crankbaits continue to rule for aggressive bass right now, especially with shad schooling up, as emphasized by Bass Fishing Daily. If you’re after reds and specks, live shrimp and cut mullet are reliable. Don’t sleep on watermelon Rage Craws for bull reds. For those who prefer artificials, look for realistic squid jigs or paddletails—The Mighty Fish claims their squid jig is a standout for vertical jigging off piers or around deep structure. A couple of hot spots to hit: - Grand Isle beach: Red drum action is steady, with fish moving up shallow on higher tides. - Buras-Venice area: Everything bites here—try the jetties and channel mouths. - Shell Beach: Trout and reds early morning, especially near the edges where the marsh meets open water.

We’re kicking off the day with a stout east wind—steady 20 to 25 knots, pushing gusts up to 35 knots offshore. Seas are rough, 5 to 8 feet, with a few sets rolling in higher. Bring rain gear: showers and scattered thunderstorms are likely to stick around. If you’re headed out early or late, watch for clearing through tonight and lighter southeast winds tapering back to 10–15 knots after midnight, with waves down to 3–5 feet according to the National Weather Service marine zone forecast. Sunrise hit at 7:15 AM, with sunset rolling in about 6:15 PM. With daylight shifting, those first and last couple hours are golden for a strong bite window. On the tide chart, we have a recent high around daybreak and falling water deeper into the morning. That’s prime for redfish action—look to target marsh drains and inlets about two hours before and after low tide, letting your bait sweep through the current for natural presentations. Speckled trout are stacking up around oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and down toward Calcasieu, feeding aggressively on these cooler October mornings. Topwater lures at dawn are bringing solid blowups, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork once the sun’s up—a local classic like a Matrix Shad in lemonhead or shrimp color can be the ticket. Redfish are cruising marsh edges and working the drains especially well on falling tide. Gold spoons, live shrimp, or cut bait like mullet are producing solid slot reds, and cut crab or mullet is turning over some hefty bull reds at the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice. If you're rigging for big reds today, beef up that tackle—they’re running thick. Flounder are moving in around current-swept pockets and passes. Slow-roll paddle-tail soft plastics along the bottom. Keep your bait low and slow, and look for those subtle taps; they’re loading up for fall. On the freshwater side, largemouth bass in the spillways and backwaters are still chasing shad. Crankbaits on windblown banks scored well after last week's front, and finesse worms picked up a few extra keepers as the bite slowed mid-morning. Blue catfish are active in deeper river bends—cut bait took several nice fish last weekend, especially with improved water clarity after north winds. As for hotspots, locals are finding consistent trout action at the Chef Pass bridge pilings, and redfish are pounding marsh points in Bayou Bienvenue. If you need a reliable mixed-bag spot, try the area just southeast of Seabrook Bridge—oyster shell, moving water, and proximity to deeper channels draws everything from specks to slot reds. Bait recommendations today: - Live shrimp for trout, reds, and flounder. - Cut mullet and crab for bull reds. - Soft plastics for marsh trout and bass. - Gold spoons if you want a classic, proven redfish bite.

Folks around here woke up to the sweet smell of brackish air and a picture-perfect fall morning. Weather’s laying out calm with a light southeast breeze, partly cloudy skies, and temperatures kicking off in the mid-60s, creeping toward the upper 70s by midafternoon. Sunrise pegged at 7:11 AM and sunset coming at 6:16 PM, so we’ve got 11 hours and 5 minutes of daylight to chase that tug. The solunar tables rate the bite as “average+,” with best action expected early morning around 4:20 to 6:20 AM, and a second peak from 4:46 to 6:46 PM. If you’re itching for the tight lines, those are your prime slots according to Solunar Forecast. Tides are running on the low swing today—New Canal Station reports a tidal coefficient at 34, meaning current’s a bit slack and the water’s not moving all that much. High was at 12:03 AM (0.3 ft) and the next push will be at 12:33 PM (0.8 ft), so plan your moves around those moderate water levels. Down Grand Isle way, there’ll be a bit more movement with a higher coefficient, so if you’re willing to burn a little gas, that’s also worth fishing. Now for the real bait—what’s biting: Speckled trout are getting thick along the inshore marshes, with shoreline hotspots between Bayou Bonfouca and Goose Point producing keeper limits. Kayak anglers and anyone wading out have been slipping stringers full of specks on plastics. Paddle tails and twitch baits in opening night or shrimp colors have been the ticket, and early bite on topwater is well worth the cast. Redfish remain steady and are cruising the shallows and grass edges, especially near Chef Menteur and the Rigolets. Folks chunking live shrimp or cut mullet have seen slot reds hammering the bait. Artificial lures like gold spoons or chartreuse soft plastics are working anywhere there’s moving water. Flounder fans are reminded—the recreational season shut down October 15 and won’t reopen until the end of November, so no flatfish in the cooler just now per Louisiana Sportsman. Bass, you say? Old timers are finding quality largemouths in the freshwater spillways and City Park, with success on blade baits and Scentsation Fuzzy Stick soft plastics. Downsizing to finesse techniques during the midday lull is paying off. From the nearshore rigs, red snapper season’s basically closed, as LA Creel estimates put landings near 97% of the quota—private boats hauled in some 865,000 pounds by mid-October. Mangrove snapper and the occasional tripletail are still hanging around the platforms for anybody fishing with live croakers or finger mullet. For best results, match your bait to the target: - **Speckled trout:** Soft plastics, live shrimp, and topwater plugs. - **Redfish:** Gold spoons, cut mullet, live shrimp. - **Bass:** Blade baits, finesse plastics, and crankbaits along heavy structure.

We’re rolling into late October and the cool snap on the breeze’s got the baitfish schooled up tight and the predators fired up. Let’s start with the tides: Over at the New Canal Station, we saw a low of about 0.8 feet around sun-up and peaking at 0.8 feet again just before noon. Tidal swing is at the low end today, so you’ll want to strategize around moving water—best windows are mid-morning then again late afternoon. Tidal coefficient is down to 41, so don’t expect ripping currents, but any movement is game on for hungry reds and specks. Sunrise hit at 7:10 am and sunset comes in at 6:17 pm, giving us about 11 hours of light to chase that limit. Weatherwise, expect a classic southern autumn day: forecast calling for mostly sunny, high near the upper 70s, with the marine wind staying light at 6 to 10 knots out the northeast, so local marsh ponds and inshore bays ought to be glassy. Water clarity’s holding solid—perfect for sight-fishing. No big fronts on tap, so stability’s the name of the game. On to fish activity: According to Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report, action’s been steady with speckled trout schooling up in Lake Pontchartrain and MRGO, plenty over the 15-inch mark, especially near bridges and cuts. A couple crews limited out on specks working live shrimp under popping corks off the south shore reefs. Redfish have been thick in the Biloxi Marsh—slot reds crashing on shrimp-tipped jigheads along broken marsh edges and oyster points. Saw some bull reds caught on cut mullet down at Chef Pass. Out toward the rigs, a few boats reported good catches of sheepshead and black drum, especially on the days with more tidal push. Top lures right now: You can't go wrong with Matrix Shad swim baits in “Shrimp Creole” or “Glow,” especially with the water so clear. Jigheads in the 1/4 oz to 3/8 oz range have been getting bites. DOA shrimp under corks is another classic—emulate the popping of the real thing. For bigger reds, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are putting fish in the boat. Live shrimp and finger mullet are still the go-to baits, but anything that wiggles, rattles, or flashes has been getting smashed. Hot spots? You want to get on the bite, try the Highway 11 Bridge for trout at first light, especially on a moving tide—plenty of bait stacked up and bigger trout underneath. For reds, hit up Bayou Bienvenue and the nearby Roseau cane shorelines—working the outgoing tide along the grass will almost guarantee a hookup. If offshore, the shell pads and wellheads off Breton Sound are holding sheeps and drums, but keep an eye on the weather—I’ve seen squalls kick up quick this time of year. Louisiana Sportsman reports some folks are catching big flathead catfish in bayous closer to the city.

Sun rose this morning right around 7:12 AM and will tuck away at 6:24 PM, giving you a good stretch of daylight for chasing fish. Weather’s been classic fall—cool start in the high 60s, warming midday into the mid-70s. Skies are mostly clear with a light southeast breeze tickling the surface. We had a passing front earlier this week, and that’s worked out great for the bite, stirring up oxygen and dropping water temps a notch. Water clarity’s up, and the air’s carrying that salty tang that says fall fishing is firing off. Tide-wise, today we’re working an early morning incoming that’ll peak late morning, then swing out in the afternoon. That means prime time for reds and trout is right around sunrise and again as it flushes out before sunset. The evening outgoing will have bait on the move—always a trigger for gamefish dialing in for their dinner. Let’s talk what hit the coolers lately: local captains and dockhands are all buzzed about strong speckled trout numbers coming off the Lake Borgne and the marsh drains near Hopedale and Shell Beach. Folks are limiting out—most are healthy 15 to 19 inches, a few pushing up around 22. Redfish are schooling thick, more toward the inside marsh, especially as the tide pulls shrimp and mullet out of the grass. Expect mixed sizes: plenty perfect for the skillet, and a few bulls tearing up drags. In the passes and deeper rigs, reports are good for slot-sized black drum and sheepshead—those inshore reefs are loaded, especially if you anchor up and chum a bit. Best baits this week: live shrimp is king, hands down. If you can, pick up some small finger mullet or croaker for the reds. Artificials are working—matrix shad in “lemonhead” or glow, tightlined or bounced off shell flats. Vudu shrimp under a popping cork gets the attention of both trout and reds. For the sheepshead—fresh cut shrimp on a light jig head is unbeatable. Hot spots? For specks, try the west end of Lake Borgne around the marsh cuts and the mouth of Bayou Biloxi. Hit the Biloxi Marsh itself for both reds and specks—the grass edges and broken marsh are hot on the early incoming. Shell Beach, specifically the MRGO rocks, has given up limits every morning. If you want to chase some big red action, head up to Hopedale Lagoon or work the marsh drains off Bayou La Loutre. Activity’s best as the tide swings; daylight hours with moving water have been magic. Early birds with a topwater walk-the-dog are catching bonus blowups before switching to plastics. By mid-morning, skip the live shrimp under a cork along deeper shorelines or near oyster beds. Those looking for a little offshore splash—snapper and mangrove bite is fair around the rigs, but most folks are sticking inshore while the marsh is producing like this.

By mid-morning, skip the live shrimp under a cork along deeper shorelines or near oyster beds. Those looking for a little offshore splash—snapper and mangrove bite is fair around the rigs, but most folks are sticking inshore while the marsh is producing like this.

First things first: we’ve got an **average tidal coefficient today of 60**, so you can expect moderate water movement. Out at New Canal Station, **the first high tide is 9:50 am at 0.8 feet**, and you’ll see another bump at **10:21 pm**, also at 0.4 feet. Low tide is sitting between these, so look for moving water in the mid-morning for the best bite. **Sunrise was 7:09 am**, with sunset rolling in at **6:19 pm**—that gives us about 11 hours and change to get after it. Cooler weather is settling in, and that means fish are shifting into their fall patterns. **Overnight air temps were in the mid-60s** and the highs are reaching the upper 70s today, so comfort is high for anglers and fish alike. Winds are mild out of the northeast, around 7-10 mph according to local weather stations—perfect for drifting or popping the banks. **Recent catches have been hot on speckled trout and redfish**, just as we expect for late October. The Venice-Buras area is loaded with **schools of big specks**, and anglers fishing Breton Sound and the outside marshes have reported limits before noon over the last few days. Bull reds are running in the passes and at the mouths of marsh cuts, especially on falling tides. **Lake Borgne** and **Bayou Bienvenue** have also seen a great mix of slot reds and even some early season flounder making a showing around structure and points. If you’re heading out, don’t leave the dock without **live shrimp** or **market croakers**—those have been top live baits for trout and reds. But don’t sleep on **artificial lures**: **matrix shad plastics in lemonhead or shrimp creole** colors, and **chartreuse paddletails on ¼ ounce jigheads** have been producing nonstop. For topwater excitement early, throw **bone-colored Spook Juniors** or the trusty **MirrOlure She Dog** around grass edges and oyster points. For bottom fishing, especially if you’re after sheepshead or black drum near bridges and pilings, bring along **dead shrimp** or cracked crab. Sheepshead schools are stacking up around hard structure as water temps drop, and the bite is strong through the falling tide just after high today. Louisiana Sportsman reminds us that fall is prime time for tackle-busting sheepshead action. Hot spots? You can’t go wrong with the marshes near **Hopedale Lagoon**—the points and drains after a falling tide are holding mixed bags of reds and specks. Also, check out the **MRGO Rocks**, always a crowd favorite this time of year with plenty of redfish bending rods in moving water. For folks willing to make the short run, the outside edges near **Shell Beach** are firing as the shrimp migration hits full swing. Offshore anglers in the Gulf are still landing a few mahi mahi and occasional kingfish near the rigs, but the inshore scene is where the real action is right now.

Let’s get right to it—because there’s fish to catch and you can smell fall in the air. This morning kicked off with a sunrise at 7:09 AM, and you’ll have light until about 6:20 PM. Tides are on the move with a tidal coefficient around 69, which is average for late October—expect decent current and moving water to stir up some action, especially near marsh edges and the passes, as reported by Tides4Fishing. High tide rolled through just after daylight, so early risers should have had some good shots at feeding reds and specks. Weather-wise, the National Weather Service out of New Orleans is calling for east winds 10 to 15 knots, bumping up to 15 to 20 knots by this afternoon. Waves are running 2 to 3 feet and building a bit later; there’s a chance of showers and some chop, so take care if you’re headed offshore. Protected waters in Lake Pontchartrain and at the mouth of the river will offer the best bets for folks in smaller boats. It’s cool, breezy, and that overcast sky makes it downright fishy. Recent catches have been strong. Marsh Man Masson’s crew found marsh bass eager to bite, and they noted that reds and speckled trout are smashing live shrimp and paddle-tail plastics in local bayous and cuts. Reports from Captain Experiences say groups fishing this week landed plenty of slot reds, some nice trout, and the odd flounder around Shell Beach and Hopedale. Kayakers and bank anglers are also doing well near the rocks at Seabrook and in the marsh drains around Delacroix. For lures, you can’t go wrong right now with a candy-bug Zimmer Swimmer or any paddle-tail in natural colors—“everything ate this Zimmer Swimmer” in the marsh, according to Louisiana Sportsman. Soft plastic stickbaits, like the new WURM Stickity Split in green pumpkin magic, are picking up solid bass and redfish. On windier days, a 3/8 oz jighead with a crawfish or swim bait works to get down in current. If you’re fishing live or dead bait, live shrimp under a popping cork and cut pogie are still the top producers for trout and bigger reds. Hotspots right now: Try Bayou Bienvenue and the Chef Menteur Pass for inshore trout and reds—these spots are holding active fish on the falling tide. Out at Shell Beach, folks drifting the outer oyster reefs are getting steady limits of specks, especially during moving tides. If you want a quieter scene, the mouth of the Rigolets or Lake Borgne near the MRGO rocks is pumping out reds and even a few bonus drum. Don’t forget, the solunar peak lines up close to sunset today, so the last hour of daylight could see a real blast of action with those tide changes kicking in. Thanks for tuning in to the report.

Sunrise hit right at 7:08 AM this morning, with sunset expected at 6:22 PM. The folks over at Tides4Fishing report we’re working with a pretty lively set of tides today—a tidal coefficient starting at 76 and tapering down to 69 by evening, which spells some strong currents and active fish, especially around peak movement in the late morning and early afternoon. That high tide and bouncing water usually means predators are pushing shallow and bait’s on the move. You’ll want to mind your footing near the marsh edges and jetties, as water will be moving quick. Weather’s holding nice—mild for October, with temps hovering near 75–80°F. Winds are light, picking up a little in the afternoon but nothing that’ll keep you off the water. Skies started out partly cloudy, clearing up as the sun comes on. Now, if you’re wondering what’s biting, you picked a great week. According to Louisiana Sportsman, we’re hitting peak fall patterns. Speckled trout are moving thick into the river passes, especially as the Mississippi’s dropping and the water cools into the low 70s. Local legends like Kevin Ford say it best: “You can sit in the river itself, 35 miles from the Gulf, and catch all the speckled trout you want.” It ain’t just talk—anglers are hauling in solid catches of 17 to 22-inch specs, with white trout, redfish, flounder, and even a few hefty drum mixing in as bycatch. Hot action reported in the outer Venice passes—Tiger Pass, Red Pass, and South Pass—especially where mullet, menhaden, and white shrimp are piling into the river. Redfish are schooled up along marsh edges and oyster reefs, most reliable in the Delacroix and Pointe a la Hache zones. On the lure side, you’ll want 3/8-ounce jig heads paired with soft plastics in purple/chartreuse or black/chartreuse. Jig and popping cork along the cane edges works like a charm. If you’d rather live bait it, nothing beats a lively shrimp or finger mullet bounced off the bottom, especially around drop-offs and channel mouths. Word is, a lot of nice reds and flounder coming on cut mullet or live minnow under a Carolina rig. If you’re trolling or casting for Spanish mackerel outside the passes, silver spoons and flashy casting jigs have been the ticket. Nearshore reefs off Grand Isle and the rigs south of Barataria Bay are alive with Spanish macks and the occasional jack. A couple of hot spots to try: - Breton Sound Biloxi Marsh edges—especially on an incoming tide. You’ll find specks and reds crashing bait on the points. - Long Rocks at Shell Beach—great for mixed bags of trout, reds, and the odd sheepshead. - Southwest Pass jetty—steady action for bull reds, especially with cut bait during the last couple hours of the falling tide. Bring a cooler—limits are likely for those working the bait right and moving with the tide.

We’re kicking things off just after sunrise at 7:07 a.m. today, and we’ll fish until the sun sets at 6:22 p.m. That’s a tidy 11 hours and 15 minutes of solid daylight for casting lines. Let’s talk tides: New Canal Station is running a high tidal coefficient today—sitting at 82, and climbing all week. This means you’ll see some good water movement, with the morning tide peaking at 8:08 a.m. (0.8 ft) and the evening tide right at 8:17 p.m. (0.5 ft). These active tides push bait and predators into feeding zones, prime for fish activity. According to Tides4Fishing, major currents will be swirling, so set up early for the best bite. Weather’s holding up great—a crisp October morning, light variable winds, partly cloudy, with a high near 75°F and just a touch of humidity to remind us we’re in the Big Easy. The NOAA Marine Weather forecast calls for a slight chop inshore, perfect for small boats and kayaks. If you’re shore-bound, you’ll have no trouble getting your lines out. Here’s the scoop on fish movement: October is peak season for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder inshore. Out near the Rigolets and Lake Pontchartrain, anglers pulling early have reported hefty stringers of specks—some boats are landing over 30 trout per run, with mixed reds and occasional drum showing up. Venice and Hopedale marshes are hot right now, especially around cuts and drains just before and after high tide. Offshore, snapper and bull reds are still active, especially on rigs southeast of the passes. Blacktip and lemon sharks have also made their presence known in the evening surf, based on recent charter reports near Grand Isle and Plaquemines—some trips logged multiple big sharks with both cut bait and live mullet. Best baits: Inshore, live shrimp is king, but cocaho minnows are hammering trout around deeper holes. Artificial lures—Matrix Shad in “lemon head” and “shrimp creole”—are producing big where water’s moving fast. For topwater excitement, a bone-colored Super Spook is deadly just after sunrise. Reds have been slamming Gulp! shrimp and gold spoons near grass lines. For flounder, try Bull Minnows on a jig, dragging slow along shelly bottoms. Offshore, cut pogies and live croakers are best for snapper and bull reds; go bigger for sharks—whole mullet or ladyfish. Fishing picks for hot spots today: - The Rigolets: Always productive; falling tide pulls bait and big trout to ambush points. - Shell Beach and Hopedale: Tidal drains and marsh mouths loaded with specks and reds, especially on rising water. - Lake Pontchartrain’s bridges: Reliable for drum and some stud trout with moving tide. - South Pass rigs: Still putting out good numbers of snapper and reds early. Tackle tip: Tie on an 18-inch fluorocarbon leader if you’re fishing clear water—the bite has been finicky where it’s clean. If you’re heading offshore, upsize to a heavier wire leader and stout circle hooks for sharks This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun’s on the rise at 7:06 AM and will dip at 6:23 PM tonight, giving us prime daylight on the marshes and bays. This morning’s weather is breezy—expect southeast winds at 10 to 15 knots through the day with small chances of pop-up showers and a two- to three-foot chop, according to the National Weather Service. That wind might keep boaters on their toes but it’s moving bait and waking up the fish. Tides today in The Rigolets see a low around 9:38 AM and a high just after 4:15 PM, meaning late morning into early afternoon is your golden window. The later rising tide is perfect for inshore action with water pushing into the marsh, flushing shrimp and baitfish and firing up predators—classic October. Redfish are absolutely stacked, both slot-sizes and some bigger bulls. Folks are seeing bites on nearly every cast out in the marshes and lakes. Louisiana Sportsman reports redfish everywhere, with keeper speckled trout moving into the marshes. October high water always means hot fishing—white shrimp are running out of the marsh, and everything from Lake Borgne to Barataria Bay is loaded. Anglers on recent trips have limited out on reds and picked up plenty of trout. One review from Captain Experiences this weekend said they “ended the morning with a nice catch of reds and specs, exactly what we were targeting,” and another report had boats tallying up 15-20 fish per angler, plus piles of gafftop catfish. If you’re after numbers, soft plastics in white or chartreuse rigged on a quarter-ounce jighead are hot right now. Marsh Man Masson swears by them, and with water clarity up in areas like Hopedale and Shell Beach, they’ve been irresistible for reds and trout. Live shrimp under a popping cork still gets the nod if you want no-fuss bites and mixed species. For topwater, the first hour after sunrise is magical—toss a bone or mullet-colored Super Spook Jr. in the lagoons or along grass edges, especially when bait’s everywhere. Artificial lures are working great: Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp are killing it, and if you’re chasing bigger trout, try a MirrOLure suspending twitchbait in the cuts and passes. If the wind lets you out front, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are dynamite over oyster reefs for both trout and redfish. If crabbing or shrimping’s on your agenda, Lake Pontchartrain is still seeing some good jumbo shrimp pushing out—cast netters are doing fine on the evenings. Two hot spots to circle for today: - The Biloxi Marsh, with boundless pockets for sight-casting reds, and - Lake Catherine, where speck action is picking up strong as they transition into the interior waters. For an easy spot, try the Highway 11 bridge or the mouth of Irish Bayou. Whether you’re wading, drifting, or working from the shore, this is peak fall fishing, so local guides say don’t overthink it—get a good supply of pl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Artificial lures are working great: Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp are killing it, and if you’re chasing bigger trout, try a MirrOLure suspending twitchbait in the cuts and passes. If the wind lets you out front, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are dynamite over oyster reefs for both trout and redfish. If crabbing or shrimping’s on your agenda, Lake Pontchartrain is still seeing some good jumbo shrimp pushing out—cast netters are doing fine on the evenings. Two hot spots to circle for today: - The Biloxi Marsh, with boundless pockets for sight-casting reds, and - Lake Catherine, where speck action is picking up strong as they transition into the interior waters. For an easy spot, try the Highway 11 bridge or the mouth of Irish Bayou. Whether you’re wading, drifting, or working from the shore, this is peak fall fishing, so local guides say don’t overthink it—get a good supply of pl This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 246 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI2092282593 Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans fishing report for October 19, 2025. We’re kicking things off with perfect autumn conditions this week. The sun’s coming up at 7:05 am and you’ll have daylight until 6:25 pm—plenty of time for that all-day trip. According to Tides4Fishing, we’ve got a high tidal coefficient of 83 today, meaning strong tidal swings and moving water—it’s the kind of day that’ll get fish on the chew and push that bait around just right. You’ll catch the first tide at 1:19 am and then at 7:26 am, followed by 1:49 pm, 4:30 pm, and the last at 8:59 pm, all hovering around 0.6-0.7 feet. With the solunar chart lining up major activity windows in the morning and afternoon, don’t sleep in[NEW CANAL STATION October, 2025]. Weather’s going to cooperate, with cooler mornings and light winds. No major fronts coming through, so expect a steady bite. Cloud cover might roll in this afternoon, but that's good for topwater action. On the fish front, it’s just about as good as it gets for south Louisiana fall fishing. Louisiana Sportsman reports reds are stacked up thick, especially out toward the passes and marsh drains—plenty of slot fish, with the big bulls cruising the deeper cuts. Catches of 10- to 30-pound bulls were reported this week, along with keepers in protected pockets. Speckled trout are moving inside with the cooling water. Your best hauls are coming from Lake Pontchartrain’s bridges and the nearby marshes, with recent stringers tipping 40 fish on a good day. Bass are getting fired up, too, especially in the bayous where bait’s piling up. Yardbarker suggests big flipping jigs and creature baits if you’re hunting trophy largemouths—those fat fall fish are chasing shad and shrimp. For versatile inshore action, gold spoons, white or chartreuse soft plastics on a quarter-ounce jighead, and popping corks with live shrimp are all producing limits, according to both Louisiana Sportsman and local captains. If you’re shrimping, throw a cast net in Lake Pontchartrain—recent catch and cook crews from Louisiana Sportsman brought in “jumbo” white shrimp as they migrate out of the marsh. The marshes and shell banks are loaded with bait—the kind of scenes where you get blowups on the surface and shrimp jumping out of the water[Louisiana Sportsman, September 2025]. Hot spots this week: - Chef Menteur Pass and Rigolets area: Redfish, specks, and the occasional flounder are all here as tidal flow pushes bait through. Work the mouths of bayous and drains as the tide falls mid-morning. - Southwest end of Lake Borgne: Deep cuts and oyster reefs are holding stacked trout and keeper reds—focus on moving water and any pockets of nervous bait. - Myrtle Grove and the marsh edges south of Lafitte: great reports of slot reds and bass mixed together, especially on popping corks and spinnerbaits.

The bite’s picking up after last week’s big fronts, and folks are seeing classic south Louisiana fall action—so grab your gear and hear what’s hot today. Sunrise kicked off at 7:02 this morning, sunset’s coming at 6:24 this evening, and we’ve got about 11 hours and 22 minutes of daylight. Over at Shell Beach, the moonset hit around 12:53 AM with the moon rising again this afternoon at 3:29, giving us some solid windows for those itching to fish both dawn and dusk. Tides are friendly: the tidal coefficient sits at 78, so you’ll see strong tidal movement all day around Grand Isle and Shell Beach—perfect for activity on the flats and near the passes, with low tide on Shell Beach coming up late morning and high tide following early evening, encouraging predator movement on the edges according to Tides4Fishing. The weather’s looking cooperative—National Weather Service puts us at south winds steady at 10 to 15 knots and seas running two to four feet, so you can get out there safely whether you’re running the marsh or making a short offshore hop. No big storms on the map for today, just remember to watch your wind angles around the bridges and inlets. Fish are showing up hungry. Captains and guides on Louisiana Sportsman report bull reds stacking up all over Grand Isle beaches and into the marsh, with several anglers landing big bulls (over 25 inches) right off the sand and deeper cuts. In the Biloxi Marsh, redfish have been tailing at sunrise and again about an hour before sunset. Trout are mixed in with a fair bite, with specks popping up near points with moving water and oyster beds—look for those clean water lines. According to reviews on Captain Experiences from mid-October, folks pulled in reds, sheepshead, whiting, ladyfish, mangrove snapper, and even the occasional bull shark in shallower passes east of New Orleans near Shell Beach and Hopedale. Inshore boats averaging limits of redfish and several decent trout per angler, with live shrimp and mullet under popping corks being the standout, but don’t overlook Matrix Shad, Vudu Shrimp, and gold spoons—the reds really hammered ‘em this week. Still, pay attention to flounder regs: Louisiana Sportsman reminds us the annual flounder closure is in effect from October 15 through November 30, so keep any flatfish out of the cooler—tag and photo-only, y’all. Bait shops are reporting solid supplies of live shrimp and mullet, but bringing your own dead bait isn’t a bad plan just in case the morning rush clears the tanks. For the hard lure crowd, gold spoons and chartreuse plastics are the ticket, especially when worked over grass lines and current rips. If you’re drifting the passes or the bridges, try Carolina rigs with cut mullet or Gulp! swimming mullet on a jighead—hits have been consistent.

The marsh is breathing deep with that first taste of fall, and the fish are fired up for it. Here’s what you need to know if you’re plannin’ to wet a line today. Sunrise was at 7:02 a.m. and sunset’ll be at 6:27 p.m., so you’ve got a good window to get after ‘em. Over in Grand Isle, we’re workin’ with a strong tidal swing—high coefficient of 70, with low at 8:17 a.m. and another high push around 5:41 p.m., so expect solid current and lots of bait movement. With a post-front north wind and cooler air, conditions are prime, especially through dawn and dusk when everything gets a little livelier. That falling tide right around mid-morning should have the marsh drains lit up. The bite is most definitely ON. October means speckled trout are stacking deep along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and out toward the Calcasieu area. Topwater plugs like the Spook Jr. or She Dog work before the sun gets up, then swap to soft plastics under a popping cork as that light rises. For color, anything with root beer or chartreuse has been getting slammed. Redfish—good numbers cruising marsh edges, drains, and points. Folks have been getting ‘em on gold spoons and with live shrimp beneath a cork. If you’re after big bull reds, the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice are the ticket—fish cut mullet or blue crab on the bottom for your best shot. Flounder are starting their fall shuffle, hiding in current-swept pockets inside the bays. Slow-roll a Gulp! Swimming Mullet or paddle tail right on the bottom and wait for that thump. In deeper channels and river bends, blue catfish are hungry for cut bait, and the freshwater spillways are tossing out healthy largemouth bass if you want to play around with crankbaits or finesse worms. According to recent trips reported by Captain Experiences and similar charters on the Gulf, everybody’s catching fish—limits of redfish, solid specks, and a pile of mixed bag offshore. One group pulled in 12 nice keepers on an offshore run, and another limited early on snapper out toward Gulf Shores just the other day. Local captains report exceptional trips with redfish, sheepshead, and mangrove snapper in the mix—even a 50-pound bull shark for the brave! If you’re bank or land-based, Two Rivers Marina and the bridges at Lake Pontchartrain are both hot, while the marsh drains around Lafitte and the cuts near Hopedale are prime for sunrise and again just before dark. Harbors and marina entrances draw schools of bait, so working edges with live shrimp or Gulp under a cork can produce a real mixed bag.

Let’s kick things off with the **tide and sunlight**: today, sunrise rolls in at 7:02am and sunset sets the stage at 6:29pm. Tides are soft but prime for fishing—look for a low at 3:03am and high tide around 4:18pm. Afternoon and evening incoming water should really get the fish chewing, especially near the marsh edges and out at the passes. Now for the **weather rundown**: Expect a cool, slightly breezy fall morning out on Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes, with light winds out of the northeast and clear skies giving way to patchy clouds by late afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. It’s about as pretty as you can fish short of bluebird. **Fish activity is solid** up and down the bayou, and the inshore bite has been hot. Locals and guides from Delacroix through Hopedale are reporting some stellar catches, especially early and late in the day. It’s classic October: bait’s flushed into the marsh, shrimp and mullet are thick, and predators are close behind. **Redfish are tailing hard in skinny water and stacked around grass points and oyster reefs**, especially near Shell Beach and Reggio. Most limits are coming quick—don’t be surprised to box up slot reds in no time. Over towards Chalmette, speckled trout are showing up in numbers, especially at the deeper cuts and on the outside edge of Lake Borgne. The bite turned on at sunrise with most of the catching happening before the sun hits high. **Best baits today**—shrimp under a popping cork has been almost automatic for both speckled trout and slot reds. If you’re feeling sporty, toss a Matrix Shad in “lemonhead” or “shrimp creole” color on a 1/4 oz jighead—keep it tight to the bottom and give it a little twitch, especially near channel mouths or broken marsh. Live mullet or cocahoes work wonders if you can find them. **Offshore**, those booking charters out of Venice have been finding *Blackfin Tuna, Snapper, and the occasional Mahi* just outside the rigs and over deeper wrecks. Live pogies and cut bait are money, but don’t overlook a silver spoon if you want a tussle with some kings or bonito. Nearshore reefs are still giving up some flounder and sheepshead, especially around the structure. **Recent catches**: Captain Experiences and other guide reports from this past week mention lots of limits of speckled trout and redfish inshore, plus big black drum and the occasional big bull red thrown in for fun. Offshore, tuna have been steady and a few wahoo have popped up in the deeper blue water. **Hot spots** to try: - The Long Rocks (MRGO rock dam) for big trout at sunrise. - Biloxi Marsh cuts and points—especially where you see bait popping. - Breton Sound rigs for hard-fighting reds and the chance at late-season triple-tail.

Sunrise cracked just after 6:59 AM and we’re looking at sunset rolling in around 6:40 PM. Early risers made the most of the pre-dawn outgoing tide. Tidal cycles today have the water moving well most of the morning, then slackening midday—prime for targeting reds and specks as they move out from the marsh edges and oyster reefs. Weather’s classic fall Gulf—mild morning at about 71°F, light northeast breeze creeping in and scattered high clouds but mostly clear. Humidity sits near 80% so keep the ice chest loaded and your sunscreen handy. Action has been steady on the rigs just offshore and around classic marsh haunts. This weekend’s numbers from the Venice Marina crew show limits of redfish and nice boxes of speckled trout coming off live shrimp and croaker. Anglers fishing the passes and jetties report black drum and sheepshead picking up on fresh dead shrimp. Venice Marina reminds everyone their "You hook ‘em, we cook ‘em" service is still running—bring in your fillets and let them handle lunch right. Reports from the Louisiana Fishing Report Daily say bull reds are running strong all around Shell Beach and the Rigolets, especially on outgoing tide. Specks are schooling up early, and a flurry of slot reds hit gold spoons and soft plastics mid-morning. Artificial bite’s been best on Matrix Shad in “Shrimp Creole” and Vudu shrimp under popping corks. Live bait is king right now, but Gulp! swimming mullet in white chartreuse produced limits for several boats out of Hopedale yesterday. On the rigs, chunk bait and big live croaker are putting anglers on slot red snapper for catch-and-release, and those dropping deep have found some nice mangrove snapper in the mix. A handful of boats overnighted for swordfish with one lucky crew reporting a 150-pounder boated after midnight. Locals swear by these hotspots for the week: - **Eloi Bay near Shell Beach**: Early bite for specks and redfish. - **South Pass out of Venice**: Outstanding action for big reds and jack crevalle on cut mullet. - **Bayou Bienvenue**: Good numbers of sheepshead and black drum. The water’s clear enough for sight-casting reds along protected shorelines, so keep a gold spoon or weedless soft plastic rigged and ready. If you’re headed out from Venice, Captain Warren says anchoring near the outer marsh points and casting live shrimp under a cork is the ticket for trout this week. Quick lure rundown: - **Best lures**: Gold spoon, Matrix Shad “Lemon Head,” Vudu shrimp, Gulp! swimming mullet. - **Best live baits**: Shrimp, croaker, finger mullet. Keep an eye on shifting winds this afternoon—may push those schools a bit deeper. As always, respect the marsh, watch those oyster beds, and if you catch a beauty, stop by the marina for a cold one while they cook it up.

Those current breaks are where the bait, and the game fish hungry for a meal, will stage up. **Weather is classic fall Gulf—fresh air, a light north breeze, and a mild cooldown after those recent muggy October days.** Marine forecasts show conditions perfect for either inshore or light offshore runs, but keep an eye for a stray thunder boomer in the afternoon, especially if heading past the Rigolets or down toward Shell Beach, as NOAA’s marine outlooks can call for sudden squalls this time of year. Now, let’s talk **what’s biting and what’s been landed**. Captain Experiences shared reports from trips out of Hopedale, Shell Beach, and Lake Borgne this week—loads of **redfish** are pushing up into the shallows, especially inside the Roseau cane and around broken marsh edges. Multiple groups limited out on reds between 18"–27", several boasting “mammoth” slot reds, and even a nearly 4-foot gar as bycatch. Speckled trout action has been improving, though it’s a day-to-day grind—those that put in the time or find the right tide window are boxing 20–40 trout per boat, mostly in the 12–17" range, especially over oyster reefs and bayou mouths as that salty water pushes back in following the high lunar tides. Snapper were landed just outside the passes, and some bull drum are being found around deeper oilfield structure and the bridges. Best baits right now: **Live shrimp under a popping cork** is money for both specks and reds, but don’t overlook **soft plastics in chartreuse or glow**, especially when the water’s churned up on these big tides. A **gold spoon** or a **spinnerbait (copper blade with black/chartreuse skirt)** will provoke those aggressive redfish in skinny water or grass flats. If you’re hitting bridges or deep bends, drop **live mullet or cracked crab** for the drum. And if you want to haul in a bay snapper, bring a knocker rig tipped with squid or cut menhaden. Where to fish? Here’s your **hot spots for the day**: - **The Biloxi Marsh**, especially around Pete’s Lagoon and Lake Coquille, loaded with reds and a few nice flounder cruising the drains as the tide dumps out. - **Lake Borgne ledges and the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue**—find moving water at the turn of the tide and fish will stack up. - ** This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

This fall morning greets us with a mild north-easterly breeze and just a hint of coolness rolling off the marsh. At sunrise—6:59 AM today—the skies were partly cloudy and the temperature ticked in at 78°F, aiming for a high in the upper 70s and dipping to about 74°F overnight, according to Breton Islands’ local weather. Looking at the tide chart for this morning, high tide rolled in at 9:20 AM with a height right around 0.97 feet, then drops to a low tonight at 10:42 PM around 0.47 feet, per Tide-Forecast.com. The tidal coefficient is high, meaning strong currents and more fish movement—a true treat for any angler planning to hit the water after sunrise, especially as we ride out the last bit of the full moon overnight. The wind is set NE 15 to 20 knots through the day, with some chop on the bigger bays. Seas are 4 to 6 feet offshore per the National Weather Service, making inside bays and marshes the safer bet for small boaters. Now on to the action—the bite in the marsh and near-coastal spots around New Orleans is on fire. Louisiana Sportsman just reported that the high water we’ve had lately is driving shrimp and baitfish out the marshes and into bigger bays, and the reds and speckled trout are stacking up in a major way. Redfish, especially "mammoth" bull reds, are being caught with regularity around the Lake Borgne and Chef Menteur passes, with some bonus alligator gar showing too—just ask the crew from Captain Experiences who boated a near 4-footer yesterday. Inside the marshes, expect speckled trout, black drum, plenty of white trout, and flounder mixed in. Tossing a cast net for shrimp along the Lake Pontchartrain shoreline is yielding plenty of fresh bait and a nice bonus for the ice chest. As for lures and bait, this week is all about matching the hatch. Live shrimp under a popping cork is hands down the hottest ticket for trout and drum, while flashy chatterbaits, gold spoons, and chartreuse paddle tail plastics are putting the hurt on hungry reds. For those keen on artificial lures only, topwater walkers around sunrise have been getting hammered, especially on the wind-protected lee shores and points. When the bite slows with the heat, switch to a jighead with a white or chartreuse soft plastic. If you’re looking for hotspots, I recommend heading out to the Rigolets or the east side of Lake Borgne—points, cuts, and drains are holding limits of reds and some solid trout. Bayou Sauvage and the northern shores of Lake Pontchartrain have been productive early, especially around pilings and broken marsh shorelines. Folks commercial fishing and cast netting are reporting loads of big shrimp and bait balls around Chef Pass and near the Paris Road Bridge, confirming the marsh exodus is in full swing. To wrap it up: fish moving, water moving, shrimp popping, and the weather is just about perfect. Bring y This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The day kicks off with cool, crisp fall air hovering in the low 60s, and a light north wind keeping the humidity at bay—a classic autumn setup pushing clearer water into the marsh. According to the National Weather Service, we’re looking at mostly sunny skies with highs in the mid-70s, and winds coming steady out of the north around 10 mph. Sunrise hit at 6:58 AM, and you can expect sunset at 6:38 PM tonight. Tides are on the move, with water rising through most of the morning before peaking out early this afternoon—prime conditions for a lively bite around both the passes and the marsh drains. According to Tides4Fishing, high tide for Lake Pontchartrain is rolling in just after lunch, but the best action is two hours before and after a falling tide, especially anywhere water is funneled out of the marsh or through a pass. Fishing activity across southeast Louisiana has fired up with these October chills. FishingReminder reports that **speckled trout** are loaded up along the oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain, feeding heavy at dawn and dusk. Early birds—work topwater plugs like the Heddon Super Spook Jr. or MirrOlure She Dog for explosive strikes. As the sun climbs, switch to Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp soft plastics under a popping cork, especially if you find a bait slick. **Redfish** are cruising those marsh edges and spilling into the drains. The gold spoon is a local staple, but locals know a live shrimp under a cork, pitched right at the points or in the outgoing current, will rarely be refused. Some real bruiser bull reds—pushing 30 pounds or more—are showing at the jetties around Grand Isle and Venice; try cut mullet or blue crab to tempt these marsh giants. **Flounder** are settling in around current-swept shorelines; slow-rolling a paddle-tail jig, like a Gulp! Swimming Mullet, across the bottom is the ticket. Black drum, sheepshead, and even a few jacks are mixing in, so stay ready for a surprise. And don’t forget about catfish—blue cats are active in the deeper channels, especially on cut bait. Word from the shrimpers—thanks to new festival rules and SeaD Consulting’s inspection, every shrimp sold at this fall’s New Orleans events is 100% local, wild-caught Gulf product. That means the fresh shrimp you’re buying on the docks today is as authentic as it gets, and perfect both for your dinner table or as live bait. If you’re planning a trip, two hot spots stand out: - **Hopedale Lagoon and Marsh Drains**: This area’s a fall classic—schools of slot reds and specks on moving water, and you might spot guides poling for tailers early in the day. - **Lake Pontchartrain Bridges (especially the Hwy 11 Bridge and Trestles)**: Always productive this month for specks and white trout, especially at daybreak.

Cool, crisp October air has rolled in and the bite’s heating up as fast as the humidity’s dropping. Sunrise hit us at 6:39 AM with sunset set for 7:16 PM, giving anglers a nice, long day to work the marshes and bridges. Tides today are on the move: first high at 5:21 AM and a solid evening shift with the next high at 6:06 PM. We’re working with a high tidal coefficient of 77, which means strong flows and plenty of water movement—just what you want for hunting feeding fish, especially around those narrow bayou drains and oyster reefs. Weather’s classic fall fishing: north winds behind a recent front so the water’s cleaning up and visibility’s high. You’ll want to fish the moving water at dawn and dusk, especially at the turns two hours before and after the falling tide. Now, let’s talk about what’s hitting. Speckled trout are lining up thick along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain—topwaters in the low light are getting slammed, especially early, then soft plastics under a popping cork keep producing as the sun climbs. Anglers reporting in to CaptainExperiences.com had steady limits of specks this week with some fish over 3 pounds. Redfish are firing along marsh edges and in current-swept drains; gold spoons are the top performer around points where bait’s stacking up, and live shrimp never fails for those wanting more action than casting. If you want something bigger, focus on the jetties at Grand Isle or Venice—bull reds showing up, some pushing 40 inches. Locals say cut mullet or blue crab is best if you want those trophy pulls. Flounder are sneaking in around the mouths of the bayous and deeper pockets, especially where currents sweep bait by. Paddle tail soft plastics slow-rolled on the bottom are the ticket—think darker colors like purple/chartreuse or morning glory. From recent trips, folks are still icing nice black drum and blue catfish in the mix off deeper channels, and the bowfishing crowd reported finding plenty of rays after dark in the shallows—resilient creatures, those rays, plenty for the adventurous at night. Best baits right now: live shrimp is number one for a reason, but if you want artificials, stick to chartreuse paddle tails, gold spoons, and bone or chrome topwater plugs at first light. Upsize your leader if rains muddy the water, but stick with fluorocarbon on these clearer post-front days. Want a couple trusted hot spots? You can’t go wrong working the Rigolets for speckled trout at daybreak, especially along the bridge pylons. For redfish and flounder, hit Shell Beach marsh drains, positioning yourself down-current and letting bait sweep naturally—the hits have been fierce all week. If you’re heading out, remember: it’s all about timing those major solunar periods from 9:43 to 11:43 AM and again tonight from 9:56 to 11:56 PM, just as FishingReminder highlighted for today.

Cooler October temps have set in and the inshore bite is lit up all along the southeast Louisiana coast. Water clarity is up today thanks to those steady north winds after the front, and the fish are on the chew. We had a sunrise at 6:56 AM and sunset coming at 6:42 PM tonight, so there’s still plenty of daylight to wet a line. Today's a high coefficient tidal day with strong-moving water, and the tide is currently falling – exactly what we want for some action in the marsh drains, bayous, and passes, especially with this waxy gibbous moon keeping the solunar tables active through both morning and evening windows according to data from Tides4Fishing. The marshes and outer bays are absolutely loaded with bait right now, with shrimp pouring out of the grass and every predator fish in the Gulf feasting. Louisiana Sportsman reports that the marsh drains, small bayous, and ditches are twisting with white shrimp making their fall run. That's brought in swarms of speckled trout and redfish. Specks are staging up heavy around oyster reefs and bridge pylons, especially in spots like Lake Pontchartrain, the Rigolets, and Bayou Bienvenue. Early in the morning, it’s all about topwater baits – bring your walk-the-dog and popping plugs. As the sun rises, pivot to soft plastics under a popping cork or slip cork. Redfish are running thick along the grass lines and oyster points, especially where that falling tide pulls the bait right out of the marsh. You’ll want to throw gold spoons, paddle-tail plastics, or live shrimp near drains, points, and shell banks. For the big bull reds, load up on cut mullet or blue crab and target the jetties at South Pass around Venice and Grand Isle’s Caminada Pass. In the back-bays and current-swept pockets, flounder are holding tight on the muddy bottom. Slow-rolling paddle-tails along the bottom or tipping a jig with Gulp will put a few slabs in the box. Remember to fish slow and thorough, they’re hugging structure after every weather shift. On the freshwater side, bass are pushing up on shad schools around the Atchafalaya spillways and the canals off Lake Maurepas. Lipless crankbaits and square-bills are putting up good numbers on the windblown points; finesse worms and jigs will clean up after the bite slows, reports Yardbarker’s latest crankbait rundown. A couple of absolute hot spots for today: - The Rigolets – trout and redfish are both stacked due to bait and moving water. - Chef Menteur Pass – flounder and slot reds are picking off shrimp draining out on the outgoing. - On the saltier side, Caminada Pass for the big bulls chasing mullet and crabs. - Inside, the Lake Pontchartrain–I-10 bridges early for specks, switching to the passes as the sun climbs.

The fall bite has come alive this week with crisp mornings and water temps dropping—just what our local gamefish like. Sunrise is at 7:00 a.m., so plan on hitting the water early for that magic hour run. Sunset’s set for 6:46 p.m., perfect for an after-work cast or two. Tides in the Grand Isle and New Orleans area today are on the mild side, with a tidal coefficient around 36 in the morning, bumping up to 42 by noon and ending near 50 by sunset, as listed on Tides4Fishing. Expect modest current, so you can go a little lighter on your lead without worry. The bite window will be strongest around dawn and dusk, and especially two hours before and after a falling tide—classic autumn timing. Weather’s cooperating for us, too, with light post-front north winds clearing things up and knocking humidity down, boosting clarity inside the marshes and over the reefs, according to FishingReminder. Visibility’s sitting high, so that means stealth counts—downsize your leaders for finicky specks. Now, on to who’s biting: Reports from CaptainExperiences say the speckled trout are stacking up hard along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain. Early risers are working topwater lures and scoring—think bone or chrome walk-the-dog plugs worked briskly over slick water. Once the sun cracks over the horizon, most folks are switching to soft plastics under a popping cork—Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp in lemonhead or chartreuse get local nods for good reason. Redfish are pounding the marsh edges and drains, especially on a falling tide. Favorite rigs this week? Gold spoons, spinnerbaits, and live shrimp either freelined or under corks around points and moving water. You want to find the bait—watch for nervous mullet or shrimp skipping and pitch right in there. Bull reds are crashing at the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice; the big boys have been caught using cut mullet or crab. The tide’s soft, so don’t be afraid to leave your bait in the zone longer. Catch reports from the last 48 hours have folks hauling in some 30+ inchers mixed with nice slot fish close to the rocks, says recent trip feedback from CaptainExperiences. Inside the bayous and cuts, flounder are making a solid push—work paddle tail jigs or gulp baits slow and tight to structure. Limits have been there for those dragging bottom methodically.

Over on the West Bank, the marshes around Lafitte have been lights out for reds—especially near Bayou Rigolettes and the twin pipelines.

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 07:33:27 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your October 3rd, 2025, New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico fishing report, packed with today’s prime updates and straight talk from the Louisiana salt. The fall bite has come alive this week with crisp mornings and water temps dropping—just what our local gamefish like. Sunrise is at 7:00 a.m., so plan on hitting the water early for that magic hour run. Sunset’s set for 6:46 p.m., perfect for an after-work cast or two. Tides in the Grand Isle and New Orleans area today are on the mild side, with a tidal coefficient around 36 in the morning, bumping up to 42 by noon and ending near 50 by sunset, as listed on Tides4Fishing. Expect modest current, so you can go a little lighter on your lead without worry. The bite window will be strongest around dawn and dusk, and especially two hours before and after a falling tide—classic autumn timing. Weather’s cooperating for us, too, with light post-front north winds clearing things up and knocking humidity down, boosting clarity inside the marshes and over the reefs, according to FishingReminder. Visibility’s sitting high, so that means stealth counts—downsize your leaders for finicky specks. Now, on to who’s biting: Reports from CaptainExperiences say the speckled trout are stacking up hard along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain. Early risers are working topwater lures and scoring—think bone or chrome walk-the-dog plugs worked briskly over slick water. Once the sun cracks over the horizon, most folks are switching to soft plastics under a popping cork—Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp in lemonhead or chartreuse get local nods for good reason. Redfish are pounding the marsh edges and drains, especially on a falling tide. Favorite rigs this week? Gold spoons, spinnerbaits, and live shrimp either freelined or under corks around points and moving water. You want to find the bait—watch for nervous mullet or shrimp skipping and pitch right in there. Bull reds are crashing at the jetties near Grand Isle and Venice; the big boys have been caught using cut mullet or crab. The tide’s soft, so don’t be afraid to leave your bait in the zone longer.

Sunrise hit at 6:53 this morning and sunset’s coming up right at 6:45 this evening. The weather feels like true early fall: mild temps in the 70s at sun-up, climbing into the low 80s later, with a light southeasterly breeze pushing around 8 to 10 knots. Skies are partly cloudy but visibility's solid all day, and winds shouldn’t ruin your drift pattern if you’re out chasing specks and reds. Tide action is on the gentler side this morning. Over in Grand Isle—always a good barometer for south Louisiana—the high tide topped out at 1.6 feet at 4:48 a.m. and will slack out at 0.3 feet by 4:39 p.m., with overall tidal coefficient at 36—so currents and moving water will be minor, but enough to keep bait moving just off the main channels. Fish activity is forecasted to be high all day according to solunar tables, so don’t sleep in or linger at the dock. Word around the marinas is that the fall bite is beginning to light up. The marshes are loaded up with shrimp and mullet, and the speckled trout are shadowing those schools close to the edges. In the past few days, folks fishing Four Horse Lake and the passes near Chef Menteur have boxed limits of decent specks in the 14–18 inch range, mostly early before sun gets high. Boat docks near Seabrook Bridge and Irish Bayou are holding slot reds, especially on a moving tide. Offshore’s been wild too—just last week, young Cruz Strohmeyer from New Orleans hauled in a 228-pound tarpon east of the river, working an orange Coon Pop, which is a rattling, flashy soft plastic lure on a lead head. Tarpon are still running in the outer bays and barrier islands, so if you crave a battle, now's the window to throw either a noisy Coon Pop or a live mullet under a cork. Closer in, the bridges and jetties are giving up good numbers of white trout and channel mullet for those bouncing tandem rigs with dead shrimp or Gulp! swimming mullet. Shrimp are thick right now, with local restaurants across New Orleans serving up almost entirely authentic Gulf shrimp, so you know it’s peak season if you want to please your palate after a trip. Best baits for today: topwater pencil poppers and 1/4 to 3/8 white swim jigs for fall bass in the shallows—Yardbarker highlights how bass hit these hard this time of year as schools of baitfish push inshore. For specks and reds, live shrimp under a popping cork or a matrix shad soft plastic in clear/chartreuse are doing real work. Offshore, swordfish have been in the deep, with anglers taking them on squid rigs tipped with lightsticks in 1,500 feet of water; just a couple weeks back, a new Gulf swordfish record was set with a 448-pounder 70 miles out. Hot spots to try: - **Rigolets Pass:** Tidal movement keeps the bait flowing and draws in both trout and slot reds early and late. - **Shell Beach / Hopedale:** Drains and cuts around the MRGO are full of This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We started out this morning with a sunrise at 6:51 AM, and you’ll have daylight until nearly 7 PM—plenty of time to chase after your favorites. Weather was classic Louisiana early fall, mixing up some humidity and a warm breeze with patchy clouds overhead. Temps climb quick this time of year, so keep some water handy. The tides today are running strong in our area. Grand Isle’s tidal coefficient is at a whopping 91, meaning those currents are moving hard and we’ve got a good swing between high and low tide. This brings in bait and gets those fish fired up. If you’re working the marsh edges, look for fastest currents near passes like Barataria or Caminada. Solunar tables show extra fish activity this morning and again at sunset—get on the water for those big bite windows. This past week’s catches around New Orleans and the southeast marshes have been solid. Speckled trout are still holding on the deeper side of shoreline drop-offs, especially between Bayou Bonfouca and Goose Point. John Gibby outta Mandeville reported a real lively bite on live shrimp under a popping cork, with limits coming easy before noon. Slot reds are cruising flats and oyster beds around Shell Beach and Lake Borgne; folks drifting cut pogies or gulp shrimp plastics have been seeing good action. In addition, the annual blue crab run is on, and folks are hauling heavy baskets from the marsh edges—these make fantastic bait for everything from drum to reds. Don’t forget about the offshore scene—marlin, tuna, and wahoo are still popping for anglers running past the rigs, using deep-diving jigs and big skirted lures. Plenty of king mackerel being caught on hard-trolling spoons about ten to fifteen miles out, and there’s some chatter about a few big amberjack coming off the deeper structures. Top-producing lures this week: - **Gulp shrimp (New Penny and White)** - **Matrix Shad (lemon head, shrimp creole)** - **Live shrimp or croakers** for the trout and reds - **Silver spoons** and **topwater plugs** for the early red bite Best bait? Live shrimp is hard to beat for trout and reds. Cut mullet or menhaden does wonders for the bigger reds and drum. For the offshore crowd, rig those skirted Ballyhoo and try some big soft plastics around the platforms. Couple hot spots you can bank on: - **The Rigolets**: Trout and reds on moving tide, especially in the deeper cuts and channel points. - **Shell Beach and Lake Borgne**: Steady action for reds, drum, and sheepshead; good crabbing too. - **Barataria Pass around Grand Isle**: Trout and flounder drifting live shrimp or tossing plastics. If you’re putting in around New Orleans, slip out from Paris Road or Chef Menteur Pass to hit those marsh lines at sunup. The fish have been active with the big tides and feeding heavy!

Right now, conditions are shaping up true to that unpredictable early fall style — but the fish are biting, if you know where to look and what to throw. Today’s sunrise already hit at 6:51 AM and you’ve got daylight 'til about 6:50 PM. We’re on a falling tide through midday, with the high at 11:03 AM at New Canal Station and a minor flood late tonight. Tidal coefficient's down to 49 after yesterday’s peak, so you can expect a decent but not wild pull, making for productive, manageable current. Water movement may slow after lunch, so hit those morning hours hard if you want the best shot at a mixed bag. That’s your cue to skip that extra cup of coffee and get lines wet early, y’all. Tides4Fishing maps this action plainly for both New Orleans and Grand Isle; Reds love staging around those current seams. Weatherwise, expect highs in the upper 80s, humidity holding strong, and a breeze up around 8–12 knots from the east-northeast. Not enough to keep you off the water, but enough to put up a nice ripple and help mask your presence on the flats. Let’s talk fish: According to daily reports from the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report, redfish and speckled trout are still leading the parade, with bull reds working the passes and marsh edges, and plenty of slot fish scattered in ponds — especially near Delacroix and down at Grand Isle. Louisiana Sportsman reported a nice red landed in Grand Isle two days ago by a young angler, and that’s the sort of pattern you’re liable to see until the first cold front pushes in. Trout numbers are improving in the marsh and on outside points as shrimp move back in, and September being a transition month, some big trout have been coming in for those willing to scout early and bounce spots. Charter guides — including several recent five-star trips posted Captain Experiences and Unorthodox Charters — are still getting their folks on mixed bags, with action on spanish mackerel, the odd blacktip shark, and even tarpon showing in some nearshore runs. Best baits today: Early, throw popping corks with live shrimp or shrimp-tipped plastics near grasslines and drains for both reds and specks. If you're a lure nut like me, go with gold spoons or 3–4" paddle-tail swimbaits in "chicken on a chain" or glow colorways. Topwater plugs like Spooks and She Dogs are working in low light — don’t sleep on that sunrise bite around oyster reefs and marsh drains. Live mullet or croakers fished under a cork can land you those bigger trout, especially out at Lake Borgne or Breton Sound edges. For marsh reds, weedless spoons and spinnerbaits slow-rolled along the grass have been a killer combo, especially once that sun’s up and they’re looking to ambush in the shade. Hot spots: Bayou Bienvenue, the southern shorelines of Lake Borgne, and the outside of Delacroix marsh are all reliable right now.

Sun popped up at 6:50 this morning and will check out a little after 7:26 this evening, giving us a solid 12 and a half hours to put a bend in the rod. It’s a muggy morning with the thermometer hovering in the upper 70s at daybreak, looking to climb into the mid-80s by mid-afternoon—light east-northeast winds, and a slim chance for a quick shower later. Humidity’s got the bait moving, and the marshes are alive. Tide’s running big today—courtesy of a steep coefficient (climbing up above 80, peaking at 90 by day’s end), which means water’s pulling strong on both ends, stirring up the marsh guts and flushing shrimp out of the ponds. That falling tide’s what you want—any drain, cut, or bayou mouth in the Biloxi Marsh or along Lake Borgne is prime real estate for the bite. Let’s talk fish: Spotted seatrout—most folks call them specks—are thick right now out in the Biloxi Marsh, one of the hottest fall spots east of New Orleans. The marsh is absolutely loaded with shrimp, and those specks are stacked at oyster reefs, drains, and anywhere bait’s getting pushed. Legends of the Lower Marsh reports big numbers coming over the gunnels, and quality fish, too. Typical boxes are loaded with 13–18 inch specks, and limits are more common than slow days this week. Don’t be surprised by a bruiser gator trout mixed in, especially on the first big push of fall shrimp. Redfish action’s steady, too—look to the marsh ponds and grass edges, especially where the tide’s moving hard. Bulls are prowling along the outer edges, and you can tangle with a few on crab baits off the deeper passes near Shell Beach and Lake Borgne. Bayou Bienvenue is another sleeper spot for mixed reds, drum, and even a stray flounder. If you want hotspots, two stand out: - **Biloxi Marsh, especially near Lake Eugene and Bayou La Loutre.** - **Rigolets Pass and the mouth of Lake Catherine** for trout and big reds riding that moving water. Best lures right now? The classic fall combo—you cannot beat a popping cork with a live shrimp or a well-presented soft plastic in glow or opening night, pitched at drains and points. For those hunting bruiser trout or slot reds in clearer water, the Yo-Zuri Pro Series Glide Bait in Matte Shad is pulling big looks; that S-swim motion mimics mullet and big baitfish perfectly. Toss it around channel edges or oyster reef drop-offs and hang on—those predators love a deliberate, gliding target. Live bait is king for numbers—live shrimp or finger mullet will always get eaten when the tide’s running. But don’t leave your tackle bag without some Matrix Shad soft plastics and a handful of gold spoons or white bucktail jigs for searching new water. Word from Louisiana Sportsman and dockside chatter calls the speck bite “outstanding” across Bayou Lacombe, Goose Point, and the Lakefront—trout are keyed on the shrimp flush, so find the birds and you’re into fish.

Anglers, grab your gear: today, September 24th, 2025, is shaping up to be a prime day on the water. Sunrise kissed the horizon at 6:46 AM and sunset sets the mood again at 7:22 PM. That’s a full 12 hours and some change of daylight, plenty for anyone looking to chase a bite whether you’re headed out early or planning to squeeze in a dusk session. The tidal coefficient is running high—starting at 77, ramping up to 84 by midday, and ending the evening at a whopping 90—so expect good water movement and strong currents all day. High tidal swings mean bottom fish will be busy rooting, and bait will get flushed through marsh channels, bayou mouths, and breakwalls, stirring up the action. Today’s weather is typical New Orleans fall—warm, muggy, and partly cloudy with a breeze, perfect for keeping fish active and moving. There’s no heavy rain in the forecast so conditions look ideal for both boat and shore folks. Now to the bite: Recent trips in the Gulf from just east of us over in Gulf Shores have seen plenty of Spanish mackerel working the nearshore rips, with a few king mackerel and the usual suspects—red snapper, amberjack, and even some solid grouper—coming off reefs and rigs. Offshore deep droppers also connected with blackfin tuna, wahoo, and mahi, though it’s been a mixed bag depending on bluewater clarity. Bottomed Out Fishing Charters reported steady action for four-hour adventures working surf, pier, and offshore marks. No giants landed lately, but the red snapper are solid, running from 8 to 13 inches, with some king mackerel up to 26 inches. Steady bites, tight lines, and happy crews all around. Best lures right now are heavy spoons, especially glow models at first and last light, which have been killing for mackerel and trout. If you’re jigging deeper, beefy tube jigs and bucktail rigs are putting fish in the boat, while live croaker and shrimp are the baits of choice for snapper and redfish. For those working piers, a spoon or spinner like the Blue Fox Vibrax is a proven ticket—run it slow at sunrise and crank up the speed if you see bait crashing. If you want to drift or anchor, a shrimp or pinfish fished near the bottom will trigger strikes from reds, specks, and drum, especially as tide nears peak movement. Hot spots today include: - **Lake Pontchartrain’s New Canal Station:** With tidal swings running strong, look for specks and reds to be pushing along the bridges where moving water pools bait. Morning into mid-day is your best bet; work soft plastics or live shrimp around pilings and nearby deep holes. - **Chef Menteur Pass:** Always a classic fall run, Chef is already producing redfish, black drum, and the odd flounder. Work both live and cut bait on the outgoing tide—marsh edges and structure along the pass are money spots today. - **The Rigolets:** If you’re rigged for a little run up cur This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

High tidal swings mean bottom fish will be busy rooting, and bait will get flushed through marsh channels, bayou mouths, and breakwalls, stirring up the action. Today’s weather is typical New Orleans fall—warm, muggy, and partly cloudy with a breeze, perfect for keeping fish active and moving. There’s no heavy rain in the forecast so conditions look ideal for both boat and shore folks. Now to the bite: Recent trips in the Gulf from just east of us over in Gulf Shores have seen plenty of Spanish mackerel working the nearshore rips, with a few king mackerel and the usual suspects—red snapper, amberjack, and even some solid grouper—coming off reefs and rigs. Offshore deep droppers also connected with blackfin tuna, wahoo, and mahi, though it’s been a mixed bag depending on bluewater clarity. Bottomed Out Fishing Charters reported steady action for four-hour adventures working surf, pier, and offshore marks. No giants landed lately, but the red snapper are solid, running from 8 to 13 inches, with some king mackerel up to 26 inches. Steady bites, tight lines, and happy crews all around. Best lures right now are heavy spoons, especially glow models at first and last light, which have been killing for mackerel and trout. If you’re jigging deeper, beefy tube jigs and bucktail rigs are putting fish in the boat, while live croaker and shrimp are the baits of choice for snapper and redfish. For those working piers, a spoon or spinner like the Blue Fox Vibrax is a proven ticket—run it slow at sunrise and crank up the speed if you see bait crashing. If you want to drift or anchor, a shrimp or pinfish fished near the bottom will trigger strikes from reds, specks, and drum, especially as tide nears peak movement. Hot spots today include: - **Lake Pontchartrain’s New Canal Station:** With tidal swings running strong, look for specks and reds to be pushing along the bridges where moving water pools bait. Morning into mid-day is your best bet; work soft plastics or live shrimp around pilings and nearby deep holes. - **Chef Menteur Pass:** Always a classic fall run, Chef is already producing redfish, black drum, and the odd flounder. Work both live and cut bait on the outgoing tide—marsh edges and structure along the pass are money spots today. - **The Rigolets:** If you’re rigged for a little run up cur This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 232 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI8191996045 Artificial Lure here, bringing you your Sunday fishing report straight from the waters around New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Let’s get right down to it—today, September 21st, we’re looking at prime conditions for folks looking to bend a rod. The sunrise this morning hit at 6:48 AM, and sunset will ease in at 6:58 PM. That gives us plenty of daylight, and with about 12 hours and 10 minutes of sun, you’ll want to get your baits wet early and stay on ‘em till close. The tides are moving today; we saw a low right near 5:08 AM, so some folks got a pre-dawn start, and we’ve got another high tide swinging in at 6:44 PM—perfect bookends for a day on the water. According to Tides4Fishing, the tidal coefficient is way up at 91, which means current’s up and the water’s moving—usually a great indicator for fish feeding around structures and inlets. Weather’s steady—warm, humid, and a little breezy. Quick showers can roll through, especially this late in the summer, but mostly you’re looking at good, fishable conditions. Pack a rain jacket just in case. Fish activity has been strong all week. Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters reports nonstop bites, with solid catches of redfish—plenty in the slot and a few bulls showing up around the marsh edges and main channels. Hopedale, Delacroix, and Shell Beach have all produced nice stringers, and you can expect to run into speckled trout in deeper cuts, especially close to bridges or where bayous pour into Lake Borgne and Pontchartrain. Black drum, sheepshead, and flounder are all in the mix, near structure, oyster reefs, and along the rock piles. Redfish are taking to popping cork rigs with live shrimp or Gulp! shrimp in new penny or chartreuse. If you’re looking to target speckled trout, tie on a Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp, especially in lemon head or LSU color. Trout seem to want a moderate retrieve, and they’re stacking up where the current swings by deeper holes. Folks drifting with live shrimp under a cork have had solid luck, too. For black drum and sheepshead, fresh dead shrimp on a Carolina rig around bridge pilings and rocks is getting the job done. Flounder are picking off soft plastics bounced slow along the bottom near drains and marsh points. If you’re wondering where to launch, here are two hot spots to consider: - **Hopedale Lagoon:** Tons of action near the lagoon and adjacent ponds. Fish moving in and out with the tides, especially for redfish—easy to find with the current pushing bait in close. - **Bayou Bienvenue and the Paris Road Bridge:** Producing solid specks and the occasional big red. With the current up, fish are hanging tight to drop-offs and ambushing bait moving with the tide. Today’s high tidal swings and good solunar activity (with sunset overlapping the high tide) means that evening bite is likely to go off—don’t pack up early. As always, keep an eye out for changing weather, and fish the moving water for the best shot at steady action.

The sunrise this morning painted the sky at 6:46 AM, and we’re looking at sunset around 7:18 PM. We’ve got about 12 and a half hours of daylight, plenty of time to hunt the marsh or stalk a big red in open water. The weather’s near perfect—according to the National Weather Service, high pressure is holding strong, giving us steady light to moderate easterly winds, a touch of breeze but nothing to blow your hat off. Seas are holding at a comfortable 1 to 2 feet close to shore, so even the small boats and kayaks can get after it. Now for the tides: over at New Canal Station, the tidal coefficient’s running high today—starting at 77, bumping up to 84 by noon, and finishing at 90 by day’s end. That means fast-moving water and major current, a textbook recipe for fish to feed hard around the movement windows. Plan to target moving water at drains, points, and passes—those gamefish will be stacked wherever there’s bait being flushed. Let’s talk about what’s biting. According to Louisiana Sportsman, just about everything’s turned on now that that first whisper of fall is in the air. Fish in the Buras-Venice corridor from the river’s mouth all the way up to Empire. Reports say redfish are unfazed by water clarity, but lately the river’s got that pretty marbled green-brown hue—perfect conditions. The redfish are thick and aggressive, with limits common—look for them prowling cane beds and current edges. Speckled trout are also chewing, stacking up along the outer bays and in river passes, especially as the tide falls. In addition, black drum, sheepshead, white bass, flounder, largemouth bass, and the odd jack crevalle are all fair play—one cast could mean anything. Best baits? You can’t go wrong with a classic spinnerbait or Rat-L-Trap for the mixed bag bite. For dedicated trout and reds, soft plastics on a 3/8-ounce jig head—think Matrix Shad, Z-Man MinnowZ, or a Gulp! swimming mullet—have been putting plenty in the box. If you prefer a more natural approach, a few pounds of fresh bait shrimp will get you bites from drum, sheepshead, and bull reds. Down in Venice, flipping a Texas-rigged craw into Roseau cane or working a buzzbait along the shallow edges at daybreak has been producing serious bass and redfish action—September’s a prime time for both, as expert tips from national pros like Brent Chapman remind us. Hot spots today: - **South Pass & Main Pass near Venice:** Fish the rocks, drains, and cane islands for trout, reds, and the occasional flounder. Tide lines here are alive with bait and predators. - **Empire to Ostrica Locks:** Focus on the first hour as the tide starts moving hard out—big trout and slot reds have been whacking jigs and shrimp under a popping cork. - **Lake Borgne Shell Points:** If you’re after mixed bags, target the broken shell reefs along the lak This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We're kicking off with a gorgeous fall morning. Expect sunrise around 6:48 a.m. and sunset near 7:06 p.m. The sun shines for just over 12 and a half hours today, giving you plenty of light to work that bite. A strong tide is rolling in, with a tidal coefficient peaking at 84 midday and reaching as high as 90 toward evening according to Tides4Fishing, which means major water movement, heavy currents, and solid fish activity—especially near structure and inlets where bait gets pushed into predators’ strike zone. Weather’s classic September—early fall bringing a slight cool front, likely mid-70s at dawn pushing low 80s by mid-afternoon, moderate cloud cover and a light breeze out of the east. Good news for anglers looking for clean water and active fish. Lake Pontchartrain is still hot right now, especially along the New Canal seawall. Folks have been scoring blue catfish and "rat" redfish using a 3/8 oz jighead rigged with a sparkle beetle, a setup that continues to deliver solid strikes according to FishxScale’s recent trip. If you're chasing bigger reds and specks, target early morning, as those aggressive feeders push shallow with the tide. Across coastal Louisiana, the bull reds are rampaging inshore—Louisiana Sportsman reports anglers are finding heavy, powerful redfish not far from shore, with plenty of opportunity for big fish action. These bruisers love live mullet, big shrimp, or cut bait on the bottom, but they'll hammer topwater plugs in low light or chomp on paddle tail soft plastics when the water's moving. Shrimping season’s strong, but local shrimpers like Ray Mallett and Acy Cooper are still feeling pressure from imports. That means the local bait shops are stocked with fresh, real-deal Gulf shrimp—prime bait for specks, reds, and drum around the marshes and bayous. Don't be shy about tipping a jig with shrimp or fishing it under a popping cork for extra action. Recent catches in Hackberry—just a short run west—include big snapper offshore, and specks, reds, and catfish inshore. If you want a little variety, the blue crab are steady if you’re planning a side pot for the crab dip. WHAT'S BITING/WHAT TO USE - Speckled trout: sparkle beetles, matrix shad, live shrimp under cork. - Redfish: gold spoons, live mullet, cut bait, topwater lures at dawn. - Catfish: chicken livers, stink bait, cut shad. - Snapper (offshore): large jig, live or cut bait. HOT SPOTS RIGHT NOW - Seawall as you enter Lake Pontchartrain: structure plus current mean reds, trout, and cats are tight. - Chef Menteur Pass: strong tidal flow, bait gets pushed into ambush points—great for slot reds and bigger specks. - The marsh pockets just south of New Orleans east: falling tide pulls bait out, reds and flounder are waiting.

The day kicks off with sunrise at 6:46 a.m. and sunset rolling in at 7:01 p.m. Over twelve hours of light to make the most of the bite, and the solunar chart is showing fair activity for today—expect some extra fish movement around those dawn and dusk transitions. If you’re an early bird, there was a low tide at 4:00 a.m., and you’ll want to key in on the high at 4:57 p.m.; that afternoon push is looking like prime time for moving bait and hungry predators, thanks to a solid tidal coefficient of 59 out of 100—enough to churn up the marshes and ponds, and get baitfish moving, which always fires up the action according to Tides4Fishing. Weather-wise, we’re seeing that classic late-September inshore combo—a bit humid, a decent southerly breeze, and temps riding high but not unbearable. Afternoon thunderstorms are always a maybe, so keep an eye to the sky and an extra poncho tucked in your bag. Water clarity is fair following some variable winds, and the temperature remains comfortable enough to find redfish tailing shallow and specks cruising over the reefs. Fishing around New Orleans has been predictably productive. The last week saw solid bags of redfish and speckled trout coming out of Lake Borgne, the Rigolets, and the Biloxi Marsh. Anglers are reporting steady limits of reds, especially where marsh drains meet deeper ponds or bayou mouths, and specks are thick over oyster reefs and along current lines. Mixed in are nice sheepshead, hefty black drum, and a sprinkle of flounder for those pitching near structure. Best baits and lures? It’s tough to beat live shrimp under a popping cork this time of year for specks and reds, but plastics are absolutely holding their own. Local guides swear by Matrix Shad paddle tails in lemonhead or shrimp creole colors, rigged tight to the bottom during slack water, then a tad higher as that incoming tide floods in. For topwater thrills at daybreak, a bone Super Spook Jr. or a classic Skitter Walk is a go-to along grass lines—expect bruiser reds to explode on a slow walk. If you’re fishing deeper around the bridges or passes, try a jighead tipped with Gulp swimming mullet or a soft plastic shrimp. Cracked crab or cut mullet remains king for black drum and sheepshead near pilings and bulkheads. Recent catches have included limits of slot reds up to 27 inches, plenty of 14- to 19-inch specks, and bull reds sampled at the passes for those using heavier gear. A few flounder—never plentiful but always welcome—are being caught by anglers bouncing white curly tail grubs right along the bottom. Black drum in the 5- to 10-pound class are regulars around pilings. For hot spots, don’t sleep on the Chef Menteur Pass—paddle tail plastics are producing consistently where bait is funneling in on the incoming tide. The bridges and shorelines along the Rigolets have been lights out for both specks and reds at first light. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We’ve got **mild conditions** out on the water this morning, thanks to light northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots, and seas running about 2 feet. According to the National Weather Service, these conditions should stick around most of the day, with similar patterns overnight. So for those taking out a skiff or heading offshore, you can expect a gentle ride. The sunrise hit just after 6:40 AM, and sunset will be around 7:10 PM, giving us **plenty of daylight to wet a line**. **The tides today:** We’re looking at a favorable incoming tide around the heart of the morning, peaking just after noon. That means prime feeding windows for inshore reds, specks, and flounder, especially in the marshes and at the mouths of bayous. **Recent catches:** The talk on the docks is real positive. Inshore, the Lake Borgne and Chef Pass marsh edges are delivering steady action with limits of **speckled trout**—plenty between 15 and 20 inches—and a solid number of slot-size **redfish**. Anglers are seeing mixed bags, with some bonus **flounder** and the occasional **sheepshead** around structure. Offshore, the bluewater crews running out of Venice reported decent counts of **mangrove snapper**, steady **king mackerel**, and some hefty **bull reds** holding at wrecks and rigs. Bull reds are moving in thick as water temps nudge below 80°F, signaling that fall patterns are setting up. Best producers this week have been **live shrimp** under corks for trout and reds, and **finger mullet** or cut pogies for bigger reds and flounder. Folks tossing soft plastics—especially Matrix Shad in lime/chartreuse and Deadly Dudley in plum/chartreuse—are seeing plenty of bites. If you’re after action on top, walking baits like the **MirrOlure Top Dog** at daybreak have been deadly in the shallows. Offshore, the snapper and kingfish crew are getting it done on cigar minnows, squid, and vertical jigging with bucktail jigs tipped with strip baits. **Top spots** this weekend: - The eastern marshes of **Lake Borgne** are seeing heavy schooling activity just off the deeper cuts. - **Bayou Bienvenue** and its adjacent grass flats are loaded with schooling reds early. - Out of **Venice**, hit the West Delta 27 and 29 rigs for mangrove snapper and king mackerel. The rigs near Southwest Pass are putting out some monster bull reds—make sure your tackle’s up for a fight! With the tide coming in strong and the weather playing nice, you’ll want to keep a live well stocked, your tackle light, and your lures ready. Bait shops across St. Bernard and Plaquemines are reporting healthy stocks of fresh shrimp and mullet—grab some before you head out. The forecast holds through the week, meaning **steady, predictable conditions**. Watch for afternoon pop-up showers, but the early bite should be reliable.

Offshore, the snapper and kingfish crew are getting it done on cigar minnows, squid, and vertical jigging with bucktail jigs tipped with strip baits. **Top spots** this weekend: - The eastern marshes of **Lake Borgne** are seeing heavy schooling activity just off the deeper cuts. - **Bayou Bienvenue** and its adjacent grass flats are loaded with schooling reds early. - Out of **Venice**, hit the West Delta 27 and 29 rigs for mangrove snapper and king mackerel. The rigs near Southwest Pass are putting out some monster bull reds—make sure your tackle’s up for a fight! With the tide coming in strong and the weather playing nice, you’ll want to keep a live well stocked, your tackle light, and your lures ready. Bait shops across St. Bernard and Plaquemines are reporting healthy stocks of fresh shrimp and mullet—grab some before you head out. The forecast holds through the week, meaning **steady, predictable conditions**. Watch for afternoon pop-up showers, but the early bite should be reliable.

We're kicking off the day with a classic late-summer pattern, and fall transition action is heating up from Delacroix marsh to the rigs south of Grand Isle. According to Louisiana Sportsman, September’s a transition month—specks and redfish are on the move, chased by cooler nights and the first hints of bait migration. Capt. Sean Thornton out of Delacroix reports solid numbers of mixed-size speckled trout, with keeper reds mixing in just outside the grass lines and in deeper passes. Let's get into the details. Today’s sunrise was at 6:39 a.m., with sunset on deck for 7:15 p.m. That gives us over twelve and a half hours of daylight—plenty of time to wet a line. Tides are running strong: Tides4Fishing says we’re looking at a high tidal coefficient, starting at 77 this morning and pushing up to 90 by evening, which means plenty of water movement and active fish, especially on the outgoing tide late morning and around dusk. Weatherwise, it’s classic southern Louisiana—mid-80s by afternoon, humidity making it feel just a notch stickier. Winds are steady southeast at 8-12 knots. No storms brewing but keep an eye out for fast-moving showers, especially late afternoon. Now, onto the bite. This week, anglers are pulling in solid speckled trout—sizes ranging from 14 to 21 inches—with a few heavies over 24 inches reported off Bayou Bienvenue and near the MRGO rocks. Redfish action is lively, with both slot reds (16–27 inches) and a handful of rampaging bulls, especially around the deeper cuts and outer bays. Near Grand Isle, there's even talk of big jacks chasing mullet along the beaches, and the sheepshead bite has been a surprise bonus for some dock and rig hoppers. Best baits and lures right now? For trout, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp under a popping cork, but artificial fans are doing just as well working Matrix Shad or Vudu shrimp in the Limbo Slice and Opening Night patterns. Topwater baits like Rapala Skitterwalks at sunrise are nailing aggressive fish in the shallows, especially on calmer mornings. For reds, gold spoons and soft-plastic paddle tails in green or root beer colors have been hot. Bull reds offshore? Try cut mullet or live pogies on a Carolina rig. If you’re looking for absolute hot spots, circle Delacroix Point and Shell Beach as your inshore targets—these marshy edges are full of life. Offshore, the Four Bayous and near the Grand Isle bridges are producing consistent action, especially an hour before and after tide changes. One notable catch this week comes from Maurice Terrebonne, who hauled in a monster speckled trout off Elmer’s Island on a Carolina rigged live pogie—solid proof live bait’s always in style. A reminder for the weekenders: the shrimpers in southwest Louisiana are noticing smaller hauls, partly blaming industrial activity according to News from the States, but th This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It’s shaping up to be a classic late-summer Louisiana day, and y’all better believe the bite’s heating up as fall creeps in. Sunrise hit at 6:38 AM, with sunset rolling in tonight at 7:13 PM. The tides are favorable—New Orleans area is working a solid mid-morning outgoing tide, peaking around 10 AM, so if you’re heading out, those moving waters early today are golden for most inshore species. According to the National Weather Service, winds are light northeast at 5–10 knots, seas around 2 feet, smooth inside and near the marsh edges, making for an easy and comfortable drift just the way locals like it. Storm chances are low today, but bring your slicker—late afternoon pop-up showers are always in play this time of year. Now to the fun part: the fish! The word from Louisiana Sportsman is that bull redfish are rampaging the marshes and passes from Shell Beach to the Chandeleur Sound. These bruisers are pushing inshore, so if you want to tangle with a big red, now’s the time. Folks are landing plenty of reds in the 27–36 inch range, especially around the edges of the Biloxi Marsh and on the oyster beds off Hopedale. Slot reds, puppy drum, and a steady run of speckled trout are holding on the deeper cuts and outer grass lines. Night fishermen working near the bridges have reported solid flounder catches, and there’s still a few sheepshead and black drum mixed in around the pilings. Best lures today: anything that mimics a mullet or shrimp is money. H&H Cocahoe Minnows in glow/chartreuse on 3/8 oz jigheads, Matrix Shad in “shrimp creole,” and classic gold spoons all drew bites this week. If you’re fishing the cleaner water on the rising tide, swim soft plastics slow; if it gets dirtier, swap to Gulp! swimming mullet or live shrimp under a popping cork. Bull reds have been hammering cut mullet and big menhaden chunks fished on the bottom near passes and channel mouths. For trout, live shrimp is king, but Berkley Gulp! and Vudu Shrimp under rattling corks are a close second. A couple of hot spots if you want to put fish in the box: - The mouth of the MRGO (Mississippi River Gulf Outlet) near the rocks is producing a mixed bag, especially for reds and trout on the edges of deeper water. - Breton Sound rigs and the shell humps southeast of Black Bay are loaded with specks in the early morning, especially if you beat the boat traffic. If you’ve got a kayak, the marsh drains off Delacroix and the Roseau cane edges near Pointe à la Hache are hard to beat for a mixed bag. Anchor up at an intersection with current, toss a popping cork, and hold on. Current catch reports around the area show lots of limits on reds, good numbers of specks up to 20 inches, and plenty of black drum. Sabiki rigs fished off deeper piers are picking up white trout, with a few Spanish mackerel mixed in at the mouth of Lake Borgne.

Water’s got that early fall pulse, and folks have been making the most of it, from the passes to the marsh. Here’s what’s biting, where to cast, and how to put a bend in your rod today. First up, let’s talk tides and sky. Down around Grand Isle, the tide is running big—a tidal coefficient starting at 106 and fading to 100 by sunset, so we’re seeing strong, moving water through the day. Those big swings stir up bait and turn the bite on, especially along shell points and around the cuts. Sun poked up at 6:53 a.m. this morning, and you’ll have daylight till about 7:24 p.m. Winds are laid back compared to earlier this week—expect east winds about 10 to 15 knots on open water, which means 2 to 3-foot chop. There’s still a chance for a morning shower or stray thunderhead, but things look to settle and turn dry by midweek. According to the National Weather Service, conditions are much improved from earlier squalls: perfect for anglers with a sturdy skiff. Fish activity is heating up with those tides. Louisiana Sportsman notes September is a _transition month_, and that’s ringing true right now: the redfish are pushing into the shallows and smashing bait on the higher tides, with the best topwater action running early and late. Folks tossing gold spoons, chartreuse soft plastics, and live shrimp under popping corks in the marshes around Hopedale, Delacroix, and Shell Beach are seeing slot reds and a healthy mix of puppy drum. Capt. Sean Thornton, running Delacroix charters, says now’s the time for sight-casting to big bronze backs tailing in flooded grass—try the grass flats in the Biloxi Marsh for your personal best. As the sun climbs, speckled trout have been holding in deeper current seams, especially near bridges and at the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Joey Gauthier—a local legend—points folks to the 24-Mile Bridge, where larger trout have been showing up, chasing mullet on the moving tide. Early is better: trout are hitting live shrimp, chartreuse and opening night plastics, and Bite-A-Bait topwaters at first light, then sliding deeper by mid-morning. There’s some action down the MRGO rocks as well, where popping corks and soft plastics deliver keeper trout mixed with an occasional flounder. Offshore, it’s still snapper city. Zac Clarke out of Port Fourchon hauled in a huge red snapper on dead pogie thirty miles out—if you head offshore, focus on structure like The Aquarium, or any of the closer rigs off Empire and Belle Pass. Expect a mix of red snapper, mangrove snapper, and the odd cobia. Dead bait, big jigs, and slip rigs are doing most of the damage offshore. Best baits right now: - For reds and drum—can’t beat live or fresh dead shrimp under a popping cork, or Gulp! Swimming Mullet in new penny. Gold spoons are redfish killers, especially when there’s sun on the water. - For specks This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Today we’re talking big water, tidal swings, and one heck of a shrimp season opener. Sunrise hit at 6:40am and sunset’s at 7:16pm. You’re getting twelve and a half hours of daylight, just enough to grab that early topwater bite and stick around for a golden hour closer. Tide action is jumping: the low rolled in pre-dawn around 5:42am at 0.45 feet, with the high tide peaking tonight near 7:14pm at 0.86 feet, according to Tide-Forecast.com and Tides4fishing. The tidal coefficient is high—expect strong water movement and bait on the move. Bigger swings mean predators will be lurking near points and cuts, especially as we hit those solunar windows close to sunrise and sunset. The weather’s on your side until later this evening. Winds are light at 5 knots early, seas are calm at about a foot—perfect for both inshore and nearshore runs. But a strong front is expected to move in late today, flipping the breeze to a gusty north and roughing things up into Monday, per the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. If you’re looking to sneak offshore for some snapper or hit the rigs, now’s your shot before the blow sets in. Let’s talk fish. Rojas Fishing Charters reports out of New Orleans marshes that the redfish and specks are chewing, with plenty of action for those casting around grass lines, shell points, and the edges of current rips. Most are catching and releasing, but the numbers are solid, especially on the moving tides. Bull reds are making inshore pushes—these heavyweights are bending rods everywhere from Lake Borgne to the pass entrances. Look for crashing bait and crashing birds. In the bays and Lake Pontchartrain, trout are responding best during dawn and dusk, especially around the Causeway and along the eastern shoreline. August and early September hauls have been heavy, with fish up to 22 inches reported by Louisiana Sportsman readers. Shrimp action is prime as the delayed inshore fall shrimp season just opened. This means not only can you tip your jigs with fresh shrimp, but it’s bringing all the predators in for a feast. Red drum, southern flounder, and speckled trout are dialed in on these migrating shrimp, reports the Louisiana Shrimp Association. Top baits today: nothing beats fresh shrimp under a popping cork for the inshore bite. But don’t sleep on plastics—white and chartreuse paddle tails are getting smoked. If you’re working the bridges or deeper holes, a bucktail jig bounced off the bottom remains a killer, especially when tipped with a sliver of shrimp. Topwater plugs at first light will get explosive strikes from trout and reds. Offshore folks—drop live pogies or cut mullet around the rigs for snapper and big bull reds. Best hot spots this morning: the northern shorelines of Lake Borgne, especially near the Rigolets and Chef Menteur Pass, are delivering steady catches.

Tide’s running strong today with a tidal coefficient of 76, which means there’s plenty of movement—those fish are on the chew. You’re getting about 13 and a half hours of sunlight, with the sun rising just before 6:39 AM and setting around 7:16 PM. That solar transit hits right at lunchtime today, so plan your spots[Paris Road Bridge tide chart]. Weather’s looking fair to start: seas running 3 feet or less, hardly a wind to mention early, but keep an eye open for those scattered showers and a rogue thunderstorm in the afternoon. Bring your rainslicker just in case--that Gulf humidity’s gonna be thick[NOAA Marine Forecast]. Fish activity is picking up with these tides. Louisiana Sportsman reported bull reds rampaging inshore just a week or so back, and we’re seeing big schools pushing bait into the marsh edges and nearby passes. Folks are hauling in plenty of slot reds and some oversize bulls, especially early and late when that surface bite pops off. Venice and Shell Beach are both on fire for redfish, and the bridges around Chef Menteur have had some real tug-of-war battles the past couple days. Trout fishing’s still good—those speckled trout are holding around deep cuts and oyster reefs. Best action’s been at sunrise on soft plastics in opening night or glow, as well as live shrimp under a popping cork. Try the Rigolets or the north side of Lake Borgne—those spots have been steady for solid keepers[Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report]. If you’re itching to run offshore, the snapper bite hasn’t let up yet. Boats running out of Hopedale and Port Fourchon are coming back with boxes full of red snapper. Jigging butterfly jigs or dropping squid down to the rigs and reefs is your best bet. And don’t sleep on mangrove snapper around the rigs either—cut bait’s doing the work. Artificial baits have been putting in major work. For redfish, gold spoons and smoke-colored paddle tails are local favorites, especially around grass and oyster beds. Topwater lures like Spooks and Skitter Walks are getting explosive hits at dawn and dusk. If live bait’s your thing, nothing beats fresh shrimp on the bottom, or finger mullet when you can find ‘em. Two hot spots you can’t miss this weekend: - Elmer’s Island—reds and specks are thick in the surf and the cuts, and you can fish it without a boat. - The MRGO rocks near Shell Beach—consistent for trout and puppy drum, plus it’s a bull red magnet with the pushing tide. Remember, fishing’s been hot when tide and sunrise lines up, so hit those transition times for your best shot. Always check for any last-minute advisories from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries before heading out. Good luck on the water, save me a spot at the cleaning table, and thanks for tuning in to your local report. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the bite window.

This Friday morning kicked off with sunrise at 6:37 a.m. and you’ll want to plan your trip around prime hours—sunset clocks in at 7:26 p.m. today, giving you a solid window for both dawn and dusk action. According to Tides4Fishing, tides are moving strong with a high coefficient over 80, meaning big tidal swings and strong current; first high tide hit just after dawn and we’re heading into a solid evening push, so work those moving water edges for the best bite. Weather-wise, the National Weather Service calls for a classic late summer setup—light east winds around 5 to 10 knots near shore with waves about 2 feet and an uptick in scattered thunderstorms after midday. Offshore breezes pick up to 10-15 knots with seas 2 to 3 feet, so be alert if storms build in the afternoon. Keep an eye to the sky and don’t push your luck around lightning. Now let’s talk fish. Water temps are in that sweet spot for inshore action. According to local charters featured on FishingBooker, catches this week have been absolutely on fire for speckled trout, with several boats limiting out on keeper-sized specs and solid slot redfish in the marshes and near the passes. Best action’s early and late, especially around the mouths of the Mississippi River, Delacroix, and Chef Pass. Folks targeting bull reds and black drum have been doing well right at the edges where marsh drains meet open bays—the big reds are moving back in after their recent spawn out on the Gulf. This is prime time for 20-plus pound brutes, and they’re downright greedy for live or cut mullet, blue crab chunks, or big fresh shrimp. For you lure slingers, the bite’s been solid on popping corks with live shrimp; but don’t overlook artificial baits—Vudu Shrimp, Matrix Shad, and gold spoons have been tricking both redfish and specs. If you like to throw ultra-light setups, anglers have raved about the Buoyancy 7'0" micro lure rods for feeling those light trout taps. Topwater action has also been steady at first light, especially on bone-white Spooks and Skitter Walks—great for those heart-stopping blowups. Sheepshead and flounder are filling the cooler along hard structure; bring some fiddler crabs or mud minnows if you’re after these. And don’t forget, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries just wrapped up a big batch of Florida bass stockings, so freshwater action is solid if marsh salinity gets too high. Hot spots? My top two picks today are: - The east side Biloxi Marsh, drifting over oyster shell points and grass lines—lotta redfish tails pushing shallow. - The old Mr. Go channel near Bayou Bienvenue for speckled trout—steady catches the past week, especially on a moving tide. Before you hit the water, remember: keep your gear light for trout but stout for those big reds, and always check your local regs on size limits and creel.

Sun popped up this morning at 6:37, and she’s planning to call it a day around 7:26 tonight, giving y’all almost 13 hours of daylight to wet a line. According to tides4fishing.com, we saw an early high tide at 5:24 AM, low at 8:53 AM, and another big high rolling in at 7:36 tonight—perfect set-up for an afternoon and sunset bite if you’re aiming to fill a cooler after work. The tidal coefficient is high today—up to 84 at noon and 85 at day’s end—so you can expect some heavy water movement and hungry fish on the feed. That’s exactly what we like to see when chasing the September inshore slam. Weather’s straightforward Gulf late-summer—temps running about 87 with humidity thick as étouffée, winds light outta the southeast, and just enough scattered clouds to keep you from crisping up by noon. The water’s got a steady chop but nothing that’ll keep a Cajun off the water. The bite’s been steady this week, especially as the mullet run moves right along the passes. According to reports in the local marinas and chatter on the dock in Shell Beach and Hopedale, redfish and specks are turning on strong in the early mornings and then again right before sunset. Yesterday, one charter out of Delacroix iced down a dozen reds, most in the 22- to 28-inch range, plus a healthy mess of speckled trout—biggest pushing 4 pounds, most between 15 and 18 inches. Folks have also seen tripletail hanging around the crab traps and some solid flounders pulled around the marsh cuts and oyster reefs. Best bets for lures: Gold spoons and chartreuse soft plastics on a jighead (especially Matrix Shad or Gulp! Shrimp), topwater plugs just after sunrise, and popping corks rigged above a live shrimp or glow plastic in the current. If you’re targeting bull reds in the passes, you can’t beat cracked crab or big chunks of cut mullet fished right on the bottom. Trout are stacking around the deeper oyster reefs and swinging points, picking off live shrimp and artificial swimbaits bounced slow. Hot spots? Put the bow towards Breton Sound and hit Stone Island for redfish cruising flooded grass on the high tide. In the Rigolets—especially at the mouth of Lake Borgne—the trout bite has been lively on moving water, with bonus slot reds mixed in. For a little less pressure, launch out of Hopedale and fish the MRGO rock dam around high tide—lots of mixed bags and zero shortage of action. One local tip: Old-timers say, “Find the clean water and you’ll find the fish.” That’s especially true after recent rains; chase the edges of those grass lines and drained-out ponds for your best red bites. On the dock, the talk’s all about big shrimping hauls this week, thanks in part to that new law backing up domestic Gulf shrimp over the imports—shoutout to the Texas Shrimp Association and Louisiana’s own working crews.

We woke up to warm muggy air with sunrise at 6:33 a.m., and we’ll see sunset at 7:17 p.m. Paris Road Bridge’s tidal coefficient sits high at 76, so you’ll find **strong currents and bigger swings between high and low tides today**, making for prime fish movement. The morning’s tide has already been up, but expect another high around midday—plan your casts around those changes for best results according to tides4fishing.com. Weather offshore is steady with west winds hitting 5 to 10 knots and seas right at 2 feet—manageable for skiffs and bay boats, good news for those working the outer marsh or venturing to Breton Sound. This afternoon, clouds are brewing and there’s a fair chance for a thunderstorm after dark, so anglers are hitting it early as marine.weather.gov forecasts. Fish activity is peaking at dawn and again in late afternoon. This weekend saw **solid catches of speckled trout and some big bull reds**, especially at the passes and shell reefs east of town. Local charters and guides are reporting “a ton of fish,” with some boats limiting out before lunch according to recent reviews at Captain Experiences. Best bets for tackle: Specks and slot reds are smashing live shrimp and croaker under a popping cork. If you’re tossing artificials, go with **matrix shad soft plastics in “lemon head” or plum color**, and keep a micro crankbait handy for finicky trout—as H8 Bait Creek Squeaks recommends, smaller profile crankbaits with snappy action are triggering bites near grass lines. Topwater in calm slicks at sunrise drew heavy hits. For reds in shallow ponds, gold spoons and gulp swimming mullet in new penny color put several in the boat. Don’t overlook crappie-style soft plastics like Bobby Garland’s Itty Bit Mayfly—Crappie Dan notes these versatile baits in new colors, and they’ve fooled some fat white trout and drum hanging around marsh points lately. **Hot spots** this weekend: - Chef Menteur Pass and the bridges are stacked with trout at the deeper ends during incoming tide. - Shell Beach and Bayou Bienvenue, especially where moving water pours through. - The Rigolets for redfish action as moving tide pulls bait and crab across the flats. With the tidal swings up and fish chasing bait hard before this afternoon’s storm, now’s the time to get out, drift a few live shrimp or throw a lemon head jig for a quick box.

Let’s talk weather and water first. As per the National Weather Service and NOAA marine forecasts, we’re looking at **gentle west winds at 5–10 knots this morning, ramping up just a bit to 10–15 knots after midnight**. Seas will run a light chop, **around 2 feet**, so boaters and kayakers should have a decent ride offshore and inshore alike. Expect isolated scattered showers early, so pack your rain gear just in case. Sunrise hit at 6:34 AM and sunset’s set for 7:32 PM, giving us a solid window for both morning topwater action and late evening flurries. On the tide front, NOAA Tides & Currents called **high tide at 6:58 AM with 0.83 ft** and **low tide rolling in around 2:54 PM at 0.52 ft**. That means you’ll want to fish moving water on the outgoing for most of the afternoon bite, and don’t sleep on that early-morning high on the flats and marsh ponds. As for fish activity, the late summer Gulf bite continues to be **steady and diverse**. According to multiple charter reports and recent docks in Shell Beach and across the Rigolets, folks have been loading up on **speckled trout and redfish**, with a respectable mix of **flounder, black drum, and sheepshead** coming in as bycatch. Trout limits are being pulled around deeper cuts and oyster reefs at sunrise using popping corks tipped with live shrimp or Vudu Shrimp plastics. The redfish are stacked around grasslines, submerged points, and current rips—cut mullet or gold spoons have been slam dunks in those stained outflows. In the city’s own backyard, local guides and captains say **the Lake Pontchartrain bridges are still holding decent numbers of slot reds and drum**, especially on the outgoing tide. The Chef Pass area has delivered consistent speckled trout, particularly with Matrix Shad in lemonhead and shrimp creole colors. If you’re heading farther south, **Hopedale Lagoon and Delacroix marshes have been prime hot spots**, with anglers pulling in mixed bags using live croaker and crab when chasing bull reds, while artificial purists have scored big on topwater plugs at first light—think bone or chrome walkers and noisy popping plugs. For those looking for a supper-worthy haul, the **shrimp run is strong and authentic**—Louisiana Shrimp Task Force and local investigators confirmed that nearly all shrimp being sold around New Orleans right now is wild-caught, U.S. Gulf product, so fresh bait is never far from your cast net, and it makes an unbeatable live offering for drum, redfish, and even big trout. Quick heads-up to waders and anyone with open cuts—**there’s been an uptick in Vibrio vulnificus infections in warm, brackish water this year**, so keep those wounds dry and clean, and always sanitize if you get poked or scratched.

We rolled into morning on a slack high tide around 6:06 am at Shell Beach, with the low rolling in by 2:50 pm. The sun peeked out at 6:33 and will dip below the horizon by 7:24 tonight—almost thirteen hours to chase fish. Today’s tidal coefficient is running average at 61, which means decent water movement but not much crazy current, so baits can stay in the strike zone longer. Grand Isle’s tides are riding a little higher this week with strong swings, which always perks up fish activity. Weatherwise, we've got light west winds 5 to 10 knots this morning, picking up a touch as the afternoon rolls on. Seas will rock gently around two feet, so it’s a good day for small crafts and bay boats. Forecasters from the National Weather Service say showers and thunderstorms might sneak in by evening—bring a slicker just in case and keep a weather eye open, especially near the afternoon tide change. Water clarity’s fair to good in most marshes and nearshore spots, with surface temps riding steady in the upper 70s—a touch cooler in deeper passes. That’s prime comfort for late summer trout, reds, and drum. Reports from guides running out of Venice to Grand Isle mention a solid bite on the incoming tide, especially around drains and shell pockets. The marsh is heating up with keeper specks, slot reds, black drum, and the start of flounder trickling in. Trout are stacked early along points at Lake Borgne, while reds are tight to grass edges in Delacroix. Over the past week, groups working the outside flats around Breton Sound boxed double-digit counts of specks, reds, and the occasional sheepshead. Lure action has been steady—local sticks say orange and chartreuse soft plastics are money right now, especially under a popping cork. Paddletail jigs, like DownSouth or Matrix in white ice or pearl, are getting crushed in low-light or stained water. On calmer days, topwaters like the Super Spook Jr. are earning big blowups at first light. If the water turns off-color after a shower, bump up to chartreuse tails and work drains where bait balls are flipping. Live shrimp under a popping cork is still king for mixed bags, but for targeting bigger trout and snappier reds, try a 1/8 oz jighead with a Shrimplet or Gulp swimming mullet in new penny or nuclear chicken—let it sink and twitch on the pause. For drum and flounder, fresh cut bait or market shrimp fished on bottom rigs along oyster reefs is the ticket. Hot spots today: - **Shell Beach drains and Lake Borgne’s east shoreline**: Trout and slot reds at daybreak, working shell and grass mix. - **Delacroix marsh cuts**: Redfish in the grass, especially near Alligator Pass and around Oak River. - **Bayou Biloxi and outer bars of Breton Island**: Larger specks and the chance at flounder with moving water on the incoming tide.

Sunrise kicked off around 6:28 AM, with sunset landing at 7:37 PM. We’ve got just over 13 hours of daylight to get on the water. Today's moon phase is a waxing crescent at about 23%, and the best bite windows—the “major times”—were 8:29 to 10:29 AM, and are coming again tonight from 8:53 to 10:53 PM, with minor opportunities right before daylight and mid-afternoon, according to the Solunar Calendar. Tides have had a strong swing thanks to a high tidal coefficient for late August. For example, Shell Beach started with low tide at 1:03 AM, high tide at 8:48 AM, low again at 12:39 PM, and high rolling back in at 5:54 PM. According to Tides4Fishing, these big swings mean currents are ripping pretty good, setting up those ambush points for reds and specks. Weather today is classic late summer—hot and muggy, barely a whisper of north wind early, building to a moderate onshore breeze as the sun did its work. Water temperatures hovered in the low-to-mid 80s, about par for this time of year. Expect a little afternoon chop, but not enough to scare folks out the marsh. Fishing action has fired up! Louisiana Sportsman and the Daily Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report both say speckled trout and redfish have been solid, especially with these strong moving tides. Reports put the best action along the lakefront, around the Rigolets, and in the deeper passes near Hopedale and Delacroix. Trout have been stacked along the Causeway and in Lake Borgne, with plenty of keepers mixed in. Redfish are in the marsh drains and points, especially where there’s shell mixed in the grass. This week, anglers have hauled in limits early—mainly trout up to 18 inches and slot reds when you can find moving bait. Black drum, flounder, and even a few stray tripletail have shown up in the “trash fish” category, but nothing to frown at for a late summer trip. For those asking about lures, Captain Jeff Brandon with Get the Net Guide Services and other local guides have leaned heavily on popping corks rigged with 18-to-24 inch leaders to live shrimp—that’s the classic, but artificials are also banging. Top-water baits like Spooks and Skitterwalks got crushed at first light, especially over shell and along the outer marsh. When the sun got up, folks switched to soft plastics: white and chartreuse paddle tails on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads have been the best bet depending on the wind and current.

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 20:38:44 -0000 full Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area fishing report for Thursday, August 28, 2025. Sunrise kicked off around 6:28 AM, with sunset landing at 7:37 PM. We’ve got just over 13 hours of daylight to get on the water. Today's moon phase is a waxing crescent at about 23%, and the best bite windows—the “major times”—were 8:29 to 10:29 AM, and are coming again tonight from 8:53 to 10:53 PM, with minor opportunities right before daylight and mid-afternoon, according to the Solunar Calendar. Tides have had a strong swing thanks to a high tidal coefficient for late August. For example, Shell Beach started with low tide at 1:03 AM, high tide at 8:48 AM, low again at 12:39 PM, and high rolling back in at 5:54 PM. According to Tides4Fishing, these big swings mean currents are ripping pretty good, setting up those ambush points for reds and specks. Weather today is classic late summer—hot and muggy, barely a whisper of north wind early, building to a moderate onshore breeze as the sun did its work. Water temperatures hovered in the low-to-mid 80s, about par for this time of year. Expect a little afternoon chop, but not enough to scare folks out the marsh. Fishing action has fired up! Louisiana Sportsman and the Daily Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report both say speckled trout and redfish have been solid, especially with these strong moving tides. Reports put the best action along the lakefront, around the Rigolets, and in the deeper passes near Hopedale and Delacroix. Trout have been stacked along the Causeway and in Lake Borgne, with plenty of keepers mixed in. Redfish are in the marsh drains and points, especially where there’s shell mixed in the grass. This week, anglers have hauled in limits early—mainly trout up to 18 inches and slot reds when you can find moving bait. Black drum, flounder, and even a few stray tripletail have shown up in the “trash fish” category, but nothing to frown at for a late summer trip. For those asking about lures, Captain Jeff Brandon with Get the Net Guide Services and other local guides have leaned heavily on popping corks rigged with 18-to-24 inch leaders to live shrimp—that’s the classic, but artificials are also banging. Top-water baits like Spooks and Skitterwalks got crushed at first light, especially over shell and along the outer marsh. When the sun got up, folks switched to soft plastics: white and chartreuse paddle tails on 1/8 to 1/4 oz jigheads have been the best bet depending on the wind and current. Notably, tails without paddles fished slow have tricked some bigger trout in clearer water. If you’re after reds, gold spoons and Matrix Craws bumped along the grass lines are also producing. Best Bait: Live shrimp under a popping cork remains king for both trout and reds, but soft plastics like DownSouth and Matrix Shad tails, along with topwaters at dawn, are taking fish all over the marsh. If you can net some finger mullet or mud minnows, those will tempt the bigger reds.

Sunrise this morning was at 6:01 AM and we’re looking at sunset at 8:04 PM. The weather’s been cooperating—warm temps, light winds, and just a hint of humidity typical for late June. Conditions are stable, with clear mornings, making for excellent sight-casting in the marshes around Lake Borgne, Shell Beach, and Hopedale. Tidal movement today is moderate, bringing a good morning push and another promising window before dusk. Fish activity ramps up with these tides, so early birds and late casters are getting the best bites. Inshore, anglers are limiting out on speckled trout and seeing steady redfish around grass lines and oyster beds. Limits on specks are coming easy, especially near Shell Beach and Hopedale, with catches topping out before mid-morning. Flounder are making a solid showing, stacking up near shoreline structure and cuts. Black drum are also joining the inshore lineup, rounding out the catches. Productive lures right now are June bug and purple soft plastics rigged on swinging jig heads, fished under popping corks early in the day. Live shrimp is the top bait for both trout and reds, but gold spoons have been deadly for sight-casting redfish along the grass edges. If you want to try topwater, tie one on for the first hour after sunrise near bait schools—the blow-ups have been aggressive. Offshore action is heating up with the serious summer bite kicking into gear. Out by the shrimp boats and rigs, bull reds, Spanish mackerel, cobia, and red snapper are all on the hunt. The Loop Current is pushing blue water close to the Mississippi Delta, and folks running out are finding chunky grouper and snapper around nearshore reefs. For these, bring cut mullet or squid, or go bold with brightly colored jigs. Paradise Outfitters reports a 275-pound Warsaw grouper was boated just last week. For bass enthusiasts, Lake Cataouatche and city bayous are producing solid largemouth action early and late in the day. Plastic worms, crankbaits, or jigs along current breaks are working well. Try small minnows or crawfish if you’d rather go the live bait route. For today’s hot spots: Shell Beach and Hopedale are lights out for specks and reds. The deeper channels near Lake Pontchartrain’s causeway pilings are still giving up big sheepshead and drum. Offshore, target the rigs just south of Venice for snapper and cobia, and run out to Lake Borgne rigs for mackerel and the odd tarpon.

We’re deep into summer, and the bite is as hot as a midday po’boy, so let’s get you dialed in for a banner day on the water. Sunrise came in at 6:01 AM this morning, with sunset set for a generous 8:04 PM. That means you’ve got plenty of daylight to work those marshes and rigs, and with this weekend’s light southeast breezes and clear skies, conditions couldn’t be better. Inshore, it’s prime time for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. Shell Beach and Hopedale are popping off right now—local guides are reporting quick limits of trout by mid-morning. Early hours are best, especially around the deeper cuts and marsh edges. The fish are aggressive at daybreak, so get on the water early if you want a full box. As for redfish, look for ‘em pushing up into the calmer marsh waters on higher tides. Grass lines and oyster beds near the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park are reliable—try sight casting with gold spoons or soft plastics for best results. Gold spoons are a classic, but don’t overlook topwater lures in the first light, especially if you spot bait schools getting busted up. Flounder are hanging tight by shoreline structure and main-lane cuts. If you’re targeting them, small live minnows or finger mullet are a safe bet, but June bug and purple soft plastics fished on a swinging jig head are catching plenty, too. For you freshwater folks, largemouth bass have been steady in the city’s bayous and backwaters. Plastic worms, crankbaits, and jigs along current breaks or downed structure keep producing. Live bait enthusiasts should stick to small minnows or lively crawfish. Offshore, the action is steadily ramping up as well. The Loop Current is pushing clean, warmer water right into the Delta, and that’s got bull reds, Spanish mackerel, and cobia on the hunt around shrimp boats and rigs. Red snapper season is firing—cut bait like mullet or squid is working on the reefs and rigs, but if you want to cover water, break out some big, flashy jigs and you’ll get a shot at grouper and cobia, too. A couple of hot spots for you: Shell Beach and Hopedale for that early-morning trout and redfish rush; the passes around Lake Borgne are choice for mixed bags; and the nearshore rigs just east of the Mississippi Delta are drawing in snapper, grouper, and summer cobia. Tides are moderate today, so expect the best bite on the moving water at sunrise and in the late afternoon. Water temps are warm, winds are light—it’s just about perfect. That’s all for today.

Weather’s true to summer down on the coast—expect hot, humid air with a touch of Gulf breeze. Prepare for a partly cloudy day and midday highs topping out in the upper 80s. Winds are out the southeast around 10 knots, which lines up just right for a solid drift over the flats and open water spots. Sunrise this morning was at 5:58 a.m., and sunset will roll in at 8:05 p.m., giving you a good, long window to wet a line. Tides are running strong today, with a morning incoming tide peaking around 9:40 a.m. and a solid outgoing this afternoon, which should keep fish on the move and feeding. Fish activity has been excellent. According to Intercoastal Safaris and Captain Experiences, bull redfish, big Spanish mackerel, and cobia are on the hunt around the shrimp boats and nearshore rigs, with red snapper also showing up as the summer offshore season heats up. Inshore, it’s been a classic June bite. Speckled trout are going strong—Shell Beach and Hopedale are especially productive, with limits coming in before the sun starts to sizzle. Redfish are stacked up in the marsh drains and oyster beds, with both slot and bull reds being caught on moving tides. The sheepshead bite is on fire along the bridge pilings and rock jetties, and some flounder are mixed in for good measure. For best results, local guides and recent reports recommend soft plastic lures in natural colors, especially fluke-style baits rigged weightless or on light jigheads for working those grass pockets and under docks. Paddle-tail swimbaits in white, chartreuse, or silver are also killer for trout and redfish. Topwater plugs like the Zara Spook or Skitter Walk get explosive action at first light, especially around bait schools. If you’re fishing live, shrimp under a popping cork or small live minnows have been hard to beat for trout and reds. Offshore, fresh cut bait and big jigs are producing on snapper and cobia. Hot spots you don’t want to miss today: - Shell Beach and Hopedale for limits of speckled trout and redfish, especially just after high tide as water pours off the marsh - The Lake Borgne rigs and MRGO for mixed bags and a shot at big sheepshead - Breton Sound rigs and shrimp boats for bull reds, Spanish mackerel, and the occasional cobia - The bridges and rocky points along Lake Pontchartrain for steady sheepshead and flounder action According to Louisiana Sportsman and recent local reports, the spring and early summer conditions are above average this year, with clean blue water pushing closer inshore and bait thick throughout the marsh and nearshore structure.

Winds are out the southeast around 10 knots, which lines up just right for a solid drift over the flats and open water spots. Sunrise this morning was at 5:58 a.m., and sunset will roll in at 8:05 p.m., giving you a good, long window to wet a line. Tides are running strong today, with a morning incoming tide peaking around 9:40 a.m. and a solid outgoing this afternoon, which should keep fish on the move and feeding. Fish activity has been excellent. According to Intercoastal Safaris and Captain Experiences, bull redfish, big Spanish mackerel, and cobia are on the hunt around the shrimp boats and nearshore rigs, with red snapper also showing up as the summer offshore season heats up. Inshore, it’s been a classic June bite. Speckled trout are going strong—Shell Beach and Hopedale are especially productive, with limits coming in before the sun starts to sizzle. Redfish are stacked up in the marsh drains and oyster beds, with both slot and bull reds being caught on moving tides. The sheepshead bite is on fire along the bridge pilings and rock jetties, and some flounder are mixed in for good measure. For best results, local guides and recent reports recommend soft plastic lures in natural colors, especially fluke-style baits rigged weightless or on light jigheads for working those grass pockets and under docks. Paddle-tail swimbaits in white, chartreuse, or silver are also killer for trout and redfish. Topwater plugs like the Zara Spook or Skitter Walk get explosive action at first light, especially around bait schools. If you’re fishing live, shrimp under a popping cork or small live minnows have been hard to beat for trout and reds. Offshore, fresh cut bait and big jigs are producing on snapper and cobia. Hot spots you don’t want to miss today: - Shell Beach and Hopedale for limits of speckled trout and redfish, especially just after high tide as water pours off the marsh - The Lake Borgne rigs and MRGO for mixed bags and a shot at big sheepshead - Breton Sound rigs and shrimp boats for bull reds, Spanish mackerel, and the occasional cobia - The bridges and rocky points along Lake Pontchartrain for steady sheepshead and flounder action According to Louisiana Sportsman and recent local reports, the spring and early summer conditions are above average this year, with clean blue water pushing closer inshore and bait thick throughout the marsh and nearshore structure.

We’re rolling into that deep summer pattern, and let me tell y’all, the bite is on fire this week across marsh, bay, and bluewater. Sunrise hit at 6:01 AM and sunset’s coming at 8:05 PM, giving us those long daylight hours prime for early morning and evening bites. The weather’s running hot and clear—highs in the upper 80s, humidity hanging heavy, but with a steady breeze out the southeast. Tides are favorable today with a good incoming push late morning, peaking early afternoon, so plan your trips to hit those moving water windows. Recent catches in the marsh and bayous have been stellar. Speckled trout and redfish are feeding aggressive—reports from Captain Experiences note solid numbers, especially in Lake Pontchartrain and the Biloxi Marsh. Late spring’s warm water continues pushing those bait schools closer to shore, and the trout are chasing them hard. The Shell Beach and Hopedale areas have been particularly hot, with anglers limiting out on trout and slot reds before lunch, according to local guides and the latest Louisiana Sportsman update. Offshore, the bite’s fantastic out of Venice. The blue water’s closer in than usual, just like Roffs observed this year—yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi are running rigs and rips in the Mississippi Canyon. Folks are bringing in blackfin tuna, mangrove snapper, and some impressive groupers from the deeper structure. Top baits and lures for today: Inshore, you can’t go wrong with a 4-5 inch soft plastic paddle tail in chartreuse or glow, popped under a cork. Topwater plugs at dawn are getting explosive strikes from both trout and redfish. Live shrimp or cocahoe minnows are dynamite on a Carolina rig if you prefer bait. For bass in the freshwater bayous, try a weightless fluke-style lure skipped around thick grass and docks—white or pearl’s the ticket right now. Offshore, trolls with skirted ballyhoo are getting hit by mahi and tuna. Jigging deeper wrecks with bucktail jigs or live pogies is producing snapper and grouper. A couple of hot spots for today: - Shell Beach and Hopedale for trout limits and mixed redfish action, especially on the outgoing tide. - Venice rigs and the edges of the Mississippi Canyon for offshore pelagics—look for clean blue breaks and stay dialed to that temp chart.

Sunrise hit at 6:01 AM with sunset set for 8:04 PM. Today we’re rolling into a classic muggy Louisiana summer day—expect highs near 92°F, humidity off the charts, and light southwest winds ramping up to 10–15 knots by the afternoon. Tides are running moderate, with a high around 11:14 AM and a low just after sunset, making for a perfect window to get lines wet from daybreak until the heat sets in. Fish activity around New Orleans and the nearby Gulf is red-hot right now, with plenty of local anglers reporting strong catches of speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. According to Captain Experiences, Shell Beach and Hopedale are the prime spots for speckled trout, and they’ve been coming in thick—limits aren’t uncommon by mid-morning. Look for redfish pushing up into calmer marsh waters on higher tides, and flounder hiding near shoreline structure and cuts. June bug and purple soft plastics fished on a swinging jig head or a classic popping cork setup are working wonders, especially early in the day when the fish are most active. If you want to mix it up, largemouth bass are still biting well in the city’s bayous and backwaters. Fishing Booker recommends working plastic lures, crankbaits, or jigs along current edges or structure. If you prefer live bait, try small minnows or crawfish for both bass and larger panfish. Offshore action has been picking up with the Loop Current eddies bringing bluer, warmer water closer to the Mississippi Delta. Reports from Paradise Outfitters mention chunky grouper and some early runs of snapper and cobia showing up around the rigs and nearshore reefs. For these, bring cut bait—mullet or squid will do—or get flashy with big, brightly colored jigs. Some hot spots to hit today: - Shell Beach: For limits of speckled trout early and solid redfish action as the tide peaks. - Hopedale: Shallow marshes holding mixed bags, especially where the grass meets deeper water. - Bayou Bienvenue: Reliable for bass, but also a sneaky good spot for big bluegill and even the occasional slab crappie. - The nearshore rigs south of the Mississippi Delta: Great for grouper and snapper right now, especially if you’re set up for deeper drops. Best lures and baits today: Junebug plastics, chartreuse or purple paddle tails, popping corks with shrimp imitations, and for live bait fans—can’t miss with live shrimp or finger mullet.

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans fishing report for this fine Friday, June 6th, 2025. ## Weather and Conditions The summer heat is in full swing, folks! We're looking at temps in the high 80s today with some scattered clouds providing occasional relief. Water temperature is holding steady in the mid-70s, perfect for active fish. Sunrise was at 6:02 AM, and we'll see sunset around 8:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight hours on the water. ## What's Biting Let me tell you, June is absolutely one of the best months for inshore fishing around Shell Beach, Hopedale, and throughout St. Bernard. The speckled trout bite is absolutely on fire right now! Limits have been the norm for most anglers who know where to look. Redfish action remains strong, though you might need to sort through some undersized fish in the shallower areas. If you're willing to venture a bit further out, those bull reds are making quite a showing. Several reports of 30+ inch bulls coming in from the outer marshes. Sheepshead are starting to filter back into the area from their spawning grounds, and we're seeing good numbers around structure. ## Hot Spots For you trout hunters, we've seen a major transition happening from Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne. The Biloxi Marsh outer bays and islands are producing trophy trout and those big bull reds I mentioned earlier. The beauty of fishing the "outside" as we locals call it, is you'll likely have spots all to yourself. Lafitte has been producing steadily despite some late cold fronts that passed through. If you're heading that way, focus on the points and cuts where water movement concentrates baitfish. ## Lures and Baits For artificial fans, plastic lures are doing the trick. Bring a variety of crankbaits and jigs in bluegill colors or green pumpkin with blue accents. Swimming jigs with cleanup crawl trailers have been especially effective around offshore grass in 4-5 feet of water. For live bait enthusiasts, small minnows and crawfish are working best for freshwater action. For saltwater, live shrimp under a popping cork is still the gold standard for speckled trout. Red snapper season just kicked off, so if you're heading offshore, don't miss your chance at these beautiful fish! ## Final Thoughts The fishing right now is about as good as it gets, friends. We've transitioned fully into our summer patterns, and with the right approach, you should have no trouble filling the cooler. Just remember to stay hydrated out there and respect our fishery by practicing catch and release when appropriate. Thanks for tuning in to today's report!

Bring a variety of crankbaits and jigs in bluegill colors or green pumpkin with blue accents. Swimming jigs with cleanup crawl trailers have been especially effective around offshore grass in 4-5 feet of water. For live bait enthusiasts, small minnows and crawfish are working best for freshwater action. For saltwater, live shrimp under a popping cork is still the gold standard for speckled trout. Red snapper season just kicked off, so if you're heading offshore, don't miss your chance at these beautiful fish! ## Final Thoughts The fishing right now is about as good as it gets, friends. We've transitioned fully into our summer patterns, and with the right approach, you should have no trouble filling the cooler. Just remember to stay hydrated out there and respect our fishery by practicing catch and release when appropriate. Thanks for tuning in to today's report!

Let’s jump right into today’s conditions. We’ve got a classic summer morning shaping up with sunrise at 6:00 AM and sunset coming in around 7:57 PM. The forecast calls for calm to light south winds, partly cloudy skies, and temps rising into the upper 80s by midday—perfect for getting an early start. Tide tables from local marinas show the morning outgoing and a late afternoon incoming tide, which should get the fish moving, especially around marshy cuts and outer bay islands. The story this week is all about the speckled trout and redfish bite. Victory Bay Charters and locals are still reporting excellent numbers of trout, especially in Lake Borgne and drifting the Biloxi Marsh. Most trout are slot-sized, running 1–2 pounds, but every now and then someone boxes a 4-pound trophy. Redfish action is solid as well, with plenty of keepers and a few bull reds making memorable arm-stretchers for those who head a little farther out. Sheepshead are filtering back in and you’ve got an honest shot at black drum and the occasional flounder as well. Offshore, folks are getting ready for another red snapper run as the snapper season is heating up according to the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council. Amberjack and grouper are still in play for those making a deep run past the rigs. Top baits and lures this week are pretty straightforward—soft plastics on 1/4 ounce jigheads are the go-to for trout. Chartreuse or opening night colors are killer in slightly stained marsh water. For topwater action early, tie on a spook or another walking bait before the sun gets too high. If you want steady action on reds or sheepshead, you can’t beat live shrimp or mud minnows under a popping cork. For those using artificials, don’t overlook the classic Mini Hammer-Trap from Bill Lewis—it’s deadly in shallow ponds and grass beds. A couple of hot spots if you’re looking to fill the box: try the northeast shoreline of Lake Borgne around Bayou Platte and the shell points in the Biloxi Marsh. For something a little different, fish the cuts and broken marsh edges in the lower Delacroix area—especially an hour before or after the turn of the tide. That’s the word from the water this morning. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite or a tip from Artificial Lure.

Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for May 31, 2025, covering the New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico waters. We're looking at another beautiful day on the water with sunrise at 5:55 AM and sunset expected around 7:50 PM. Winds are staying light at 5-8 knots from the southeast, making for smooth drifting and ideal casting conditions. Water temps are holding steady in the mid-70s, and we've got a falling tide through most of the morning, creating that perfect current to work your baits along the edges of marshes and cuts. The speckled trout bite is absolutely on fire right now! Anglers are limiting out in Lake Borgne and throughout the Biloxi Marsh. Most folks are pulling in solid 1-2 pounders, with some trophy trout pushing 3-4 pounds for those putting in the time. The redfish action remains strong too, especially for those working the grass edges and oyster reefs. Most reds are running slot size, though there are plenty of bulls showing up in the deeper passes to keep things exciting. Sheepshead are moving back in from their spawning grounds, mixing in nicely with catches around pilings and rocks. For those heading offshore, the yellowfin tuna bite is heating up at the rigs southeast of Venice. Boats are getting on quality fish using chunk bait and topwater plugs. And don't forget - red snapper season is open, with limits coming easy from the close rigs and reefs. Best baits today are live shrimp under a popping cork for trout and slot reds, while gold spoons and soft plastics in chartreuse have been killers in the marshes. For sheepshead around bridges and rocks, nothing beats fresh dead shrimp or crab pieces. Offshore anglers are having success chunking with pogies and trolling large diving lures for tuna. If you're looking for hot spots, I'd recommend the east side of Lake Pontchartrain for easy access and consistent action on trout. The outer islands of Biloxi Marsh are producing bigger fish for those wanting some solitude. Lake Borgne's eastern shoreline has been red hot for limits of specks. For the more adventurous souls, the rigs out of Venice are delivering tuna, snapper, and the occasional cobia. For trophy redfish, Chef Menteur Pass has been producing some monsters during the falling tide. And don't overlook Delacroix Island if you're after a mixed bag of specks and reds. It's a fantastic time to be fishing in southeast Louisiana, folks. Get out there and tight lines to y'all! Thanks for tuning in to the daily fishing report.

We’re rolling into the tail end of May and let me tell you, the bite’s been hot and today is no exception. Sunrise hit right about 5:58 AM and sunset will be around 7:50 PM, giving you a big window to put some fish in the boat. The skies are partly cloudy with light winds and highs pushing the mid-80s—plenty warm, but the humidity’s manageable if you keep a breeze on your face. Tidal conditions have us seeing an incoming tide until midday, then a slow fall toward sunset—textbook prime for those marsh predators to be feeding along the edges. Fishing activity has been on fire. The speckled trout bite is still lighting up the east side of Lake Borgne and throughout the Biloxi Marsh. Most folks are limiting out quick, with keeper trout averaging 1-2 pounds, and a few heavier ones hitting that three-pound mark. These trout have been steady all spring, so now’s the time to fill that ice chest. Redfish action is also strong, especially working the grass edges, oyster reefs, and cuts. There’s plenty of slot reds mixed with some bulls showing out deeper by the passes. Bonus: sheephead are moving back in from their spring spawn, stacking up nicely along pilings and rocks. Offshore, the red snapper season is going strong—limits are common around the rigs out of Venice and Breton Sound, with snapper in the 16-20 inch range and an occasional bigger fish. Yellowfin tuna are starting to show at the platforms southeast of Venice, mostly caught on chunk bait and big topwater plugs when the birds are working. If you’re feeling adventurous, a few cobia and triple tail have made surprise appearances out by the floating debris and weedlines. Best lures and bait for today: For specks, live shrimp under a popping cork is gold, but if you’re slinging artificial, Matrix Shad in chartreuse or glow, Vudu Shrimp, and MirrOlure’s MirrOdine are all hot tickets. For reds, gold spoons and spinnerbaits with chartreuse skirts on the flats are money. Bulls and big drum are still biting dead shrimp or blue crab around structure, and for sheephead, just tip a jig head with shrimp and bounce it near the rocks. Couple hotspots worth your focus right now: the shell banks and mouths of bayous on the east side of Lake Borgne for fast trout action, the MRGO rocks for mixed bags, and the outside islands in the Biloxi Marsh if you’re chasing solitude and shot at some true Louisiana giants. Offshore guys, hit those close rigs off Venice early for your snapper, then go wide for a crack at those tunas. There’s no better time to be fishing southeast Louisiana, folks. Don’t forget your sunscreen, plenty of water, and check those licenses before you leave the dock. Thanks for tuning in to today’s report.

Artificial Lure here with your fresh fishing report for Wednesday, May 28, 2025, covering New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. We're looking at another gorgeous day on the water with sunrise about an hour ago at 6:18 AM, and we'll have daylight until around 7:55 PM, giving y'all plenty of time to get those lines wet. Tides are running moderate today with a falling tide through mid-morning, then switching to incoming around noon - perfect for targeting those marsh edges and points where the baitfish get pushed through. The speckled trout bite has been absolutely on fire these past few weeks! Many folks are limiting out in just a couple hours of fishing. Water temps have climbed to a comfortable 76-78 degrees, creating ideal feeding conditions. These specks have been steady since March, but they're really hitting their stride now as we close out May. Redfish action remains strong, especially if you're willing to sort through some smaller ones to find the keepers. For those of y'all venturing further out, those bull reds are making quite a showing - I've seen several bruisers over 30 inches come to the boat this week. Sheepshead are filtering back into the area from their spawning grounds, and for offshore enthusiasts, the mahi and tuna bite has been heating up nicely as we approach summer. We've been seeing a nice transition from Lake Pontchartrain fishing to Lake Borgne. In another week or two, the serious anglers will be running to the outer bays and islands of the Biloxi Marsh for those trophy trout and monster redfish. The "outside" is fishing mighty fine right now - you'll likely have islands and shallow bays all to yourself with chances to spot dolphins, sea turtles, and maybe hook into a surprise mackerel or pompano. For lures, I'm seeing the best action on pearl-colored paddle tails on 1/4 oz jigheads around points and cuts. Topwater walkers are crushing it during the first light and late evening, especially around Lake Borgne. If you're using live bait, croakers and shrimp under a popping cork are hard to beat right now. Hot spots this week include the Shell Beach area where several guides reported trout limits, and the eastern shoreline of Lake Borgne where the redfish are crushing anything that moves. For something different, try the structures around the MRGO rocks - the sheepshead there are plentiful and tasty! Tight lines, y'all, and I'll catch you on the water!

Sunrise this morning was just before 6 AM and sunset will be right around 8 PM, giving us a big ol’ stretch of daylight to work the waters. Weather’s been calm with light winds and warming water temps, perfect for drifting and casting, and we’ve got a steady falling tide on tap, which usually means fish moving and feeding[3]. Let’s talk about the action. The inshore bite has been sizzling this May with speckled trout showing up thick in Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and out toward the Biloxi Marsh. Limits are being caught almost daily, mostly on live shrimp under a popping cork and Matrix Shad plastics in chartreuse or opening night color. Folks are still pulling in some solid redfish too, especially early in the morning along the grass lines and points. You’ll want gold spoons, soft plastics, or cut mullet to tempt them. Bull reds have been hitting out a little further, so if you’re up for a fight, head for the deeper passes or the mouths of the outer bays[2]. Sheepshead have started filtering back in, mostly around bridges, pilings, and oyster reefs. Get yourself some fresh dead shrimp or fiddler crabs if you want a mess of these toothy critters. Out in the surf and near passes, you can find pompano with simple pompano rigs baited with Fishbites or peeled shrimp. Black drum are also hot right now—live or dead shrimp on the bottom gets the job done[5]. If you want offshore action and the weather holds, late spring means mahi and tuna are both heating up a few miles off, with most boats reporting good numbers of both species. Trolling with bright-colored feathers or drifting live bait near rigs has been working best lately, especially now that the water’s warming up[1][3]. Hot spots for trout and reds right now include Lake Borgne close to the Rigolets and the south end of Lake Pontchartrain near the Causeway bridge. If you’re chasing bulls or a multi-species day, head out to the Biloxi Marsh or the outer edges of Breton Sound—less boat traffic and some of the best marsh fishing you’ll find this time of year[2]. In summary, bring popping corks, Matrix Shads, gold spoons, live shrimp, and maybe a few crab if you want to diversify your catch. Good luck out there, keep it safe, and tight lines from Artificial Lure. See ya on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The weather is lining up perfect for a day on the water. Sunrise was right at 6:02 am and sunset will be about 7:53 pm, so you have plenty of daylight to chase those trophies. Looks like we’re set for mild winds and stable barometric pressure, just a touch of cloud cover—ideal conditions for both inshore and offshore trips. The tides are moderate today, leaning towards a gentle incoming pattern this morning and a slow fall mid-afternoon. This should push bait up into the marshes and along the edges of the bays, which is right where you want to be[3]. Fish activity has stayed high this week. The speckled trout bite has been just unreal since early spring, with quick limits coming out of Lake Borgne, the Biloxi Marsh, and the deeper channels off Shell Beach. Reds are in the mix too, though right now you’re going to work through some smaller slot fish, especially closer inshore. If you push out past the marsh edges, those big bull reds are starting to show along the outside islands and cuts. Folks have been picking up sheepshead and drum around pilings and rock jetties, and the occasional mackerel and tripletail are turning up out in cleaner water[2][3]. If you’re heading offshore, the talk is still on the tuna bite heating up, and there’s been some solid red snapper action reported around the rigs when conditions allow. School-sized blackfin have been mixed in with the yellowfin, and a few bigger snapper are being landed south of the passes[3][5]. For lures and bait, you can’t beat a chartreuse soft plastic on a 3/8-ounce jighead for trout in the cleaner water, especially near current seams and oyster reefs. Live shrimp and croaker are still getting hammered, and a popping cork will help you cover water and draw bites if the wind picks up. For reds, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails are money in the shallow grass, but don’t overlook natural cut bait or crab chunks if you find a school of big fish hanging tight. Hot spots this weekend are going to be the marshes east of Chalmette, especially around the mouth of Bayou La Loutre and Lake Borgne for trout, and the outer edge of Biloxi Marsh for a shot at those bigger reds. If you’re after a mixed bag or want a break from the crowds, jump out to the South Point jetties or cruise out to Breton Sound for some line-peeling action. That’s the story from the water today—tight lines, stay safe, and go get ‘em[1][2][3]. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

If you’re after a mixed bag or want a break from the crowds, jump out to the South Point jetties or cruise out to Breton Sound for some line-peeling action. That’s the story from the water today—tight lines, stay safe, and go get ‘em[1][2][3].

We are sitting pretty with classic late May weather—expect a hot and humid day with light winds out of the southeast, which is perfect for drifting over flats and working the marsh edges. Sunrise hit at 6:00 AM, with sunset expected at 7:53 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to chase your limit. Tides today are moderate, running incoming most of the morning and peaking just after noon, then heading out towards evening. That moving water should get the baitfish stirred up and push predators into their feeding lanes, especially at the mouths of cuts and bayous. Fishing action in and around the Gulf, Lake Borgne, and out past the Biloxi Marsh has been absolutely alive. Speckled trout have been on fire all spring, with limits coming easy for most, especially for those getting on the water early or pushing out to the “outside” marshes. The trout bite has held steady through May, and today looks prime to keep that run going. Redfish are right behind, though you may have to cull a few undersized ones before hitting those keepers. If you’re up for a tug-of-war, some giant bull reds have been cruising the outer bays, especially when the tide is moving good. Sheepshead are filtering back in, and you may find a few stragglers on the structure in deeper cuts. When it comes to tackle, live shrimp is always king out here, whether under a popping cork for trout or freelined closer to the bottom for reds and sheepshead. If you’re throwing artificials, go with chartreuse or opening night soft plastics on a 1/4 ounce jighead, especially when the water is a little dirty from wind or tide. Topwater plugs or twitch baits at first light have also been getting hammered in the marsh ponds and over grass flats. Some hot spots to check out today: Lake Borgne’s eastern shoreline has been stacked with trout, and the cuts around the southern end of Biloxi Marsh are producing reds and the occasional flounder. If you want a little elbow room and bigger fish, push out towards Breton Sound or the scattered islands on the “outside”—it’s a different world out there and worth the trip for larger trout and roaming bull reds. Folks have been filling coolers with trout, slot reds, and a few bonus species like mackerel and triple tail for those venturing offshore. Remember to pack plenty of water and sunscreen today—it’s gonna be a long, hot one, but the fish are hungry. Tight lines, y’all, and I’ll see you on the water.

We’re sitting in classic late-spring conditions with a strong action bite continuing all around the region. Sunrise hit at 6:00 am this morning, and sunset is coming up about 7:52 pm, giving you a nice long window on the water. Weather today is shaping up fair and mild, with light southern winds, moderate cloud cover to keep you cool, and a temperature climbing into the high 70s. Expect low humidity but keep an eye on those afternoon gusts if you’re chasing open water. On the water, the tidal swing is moderate today and peaking around midday, so plan your moves to fish that rising water for best results. Inshore, the speckled trout bite is still red-hot. Anglers are catching easy limits from Lake Borgne, Bayou Bienvenue, and stretching out to the Biloxi Marsh. The usual reefs, oyster beds, and marsh edges are loaded with good-size specs—plenty pushing the two-pound mark. Folks drifting the outer bays and cuts are also picking up solid numbers of redfish. There are lots of slot reds in the mix, though you will need to cull through some smaller fish. If you get out to the “outside”—that’s the scattered islands and open bays of the Biloxi Marsh—you’ll have a shot at the big bull reds and even the odd mackerel or triple tail cruising through. Sheepshead are making a comeback, filtering back from their offshore spawns, and you might even land one while bouncing bait along the structure. Offshore, the red snapper bite is still strong for those heading out past the passes, and King Mackerel are just about to ramp up as the bait schools grow[2][3][5]. Best lures right now are clear and classic: soft plastic paddle tails in chartreuse or glow, popping corks with shrimp imitations, and topwaters early in the morning. For bait, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp or market croakers for specs and reds. Bull reds are slamming cut mullet or menhaden along current lines and deeper cuts. Hot spots today: try the north shore reefs of Lake Borgne for consistent trout action, or hit the eastern edges of the Biloxi Marsh for both trout and big reds. For the adventurous, make a run outside to Breton Sound islands—the “outside” is wide open and the bite is on. Boat safe, mind those tides, and go get ’em.

We’re rolling right through the peak of spring and the bite is still on fire! Sunrise came at 6:08 a.m. and sunset tonight will be at 7:52 p.m., so you’ve got a long day to make something happen on the water. Tides are running strong, with high tide peaking right around mid-morning—perfect for working those marsh edges and bayou mouths, which are stacked with feeding fish. The water’s sitting in the low to mid seventies, and we’ve got that classic spring weather: light winds early, picking up a little this afternoon, and just enough humidity to let you know you’re in south Louisiana. Expect scattered clouds but plenty of good light for sight fishing[3]. If you’re after speckled trout, these last few weeks have been as steady as it gets. We’re seeing limits almost daily out of Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and up in the Biloxi Marsh. The fish are feeding heavy on oyster reefs and around moving water. The go-to setup has been live shrimp under a popping cork, but don’t overlook soft plastics—green or chartreuse have been the ticket, especially if you’re chasing those early morning schools by the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue and along the MRGO rocks. Look for diving birds to zero in on where the trout are hammering bait[3][2]. Redfish are mixed in all over. Plenty of smaller ones in the marsh—you might have to weed through a few to find your keepers—but when you push out toward the outer bays and near the barrier islands, it’s a different story. Giant bull reds are showing up and hitting chunked mullet and big gold spoons. The excitement is real when these brutes pull drag outside the Biloxi Marsh or out around Breton Sound[2]. Sheepshead are moving back in from the spawn, especially around structure and dock pilings. A little market shrimp or fiddler crab can’t be beat for these guys. Offshore action’s been lively on the calm days, with tuna and mahi-mahi making appearances, but inshore is still where most folks are filling coolers right now[5][4]. Hot spots to check today: the outer edges of Lake Borgne for both trout and redfish, the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue at sunrise, and the barrier islands near Biloxi Marsh for a big bull red. The MRGO rocks are another steady producer, especially early and on a moving tide. Best baits: live shrimp under a cork, green or chartreuse plastics, chunked mullet, or gold spoons for reds. For sheepshead, bring shrimp or fiddler crabs. That’s your report for today—tight lines and hope to see you out there with bent rods and big smiles[3][2][5]!

We're looking at another beautiful day on the water with sunrise that happened around 6:20 AM, and we'll have light until about 7:30 PM, giving y'all plenty of time to reel in some beauties. Tide's coming in this morning with high tide expected around midday - perfect conditions for hitting those marsh edges and bayou mouths where the predators are stacked up. The speckled trout bite continues to dominate our waters right now. These specks have been absolutely crushing it lately, with many anglers reporting limits in just a couple hours of fishing[1]. The trout have been steady through March, April, and now well into May, making catching limits almost a daily routine for many of you[3]. Redfish action remains solid too, though you might need to weed through some undersized fish to get to the keepers[3]. If you're willing to venture a bit further out, those giant bull reds are making a strong appearance, which is always a welcome sight. Water temperatures are holding between 72-76 degrees - perfect for triggering aggressive feeding behavior. For those targeting trout, try working the edges of Lake Borgne with soft plastics in chartreuse or glow. Many guides are now transitioning from Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne, and soon they'll be heading to the outer bays and islands of the Biloxi Marsh for trout and those BIG redfish[3]. For bait, live shrimp under a popping cork is still the go-to, but DOA shrimp imitations and Vudu Shrimp are producing well for artificial enthusiasts. For redfish, try gold spoons or spinner baits with a chartreuse skirt when sight fishing the flats. Hot spots this week include the Rigolets, Lake Borgne shell banks, and the MRGO rocks. The "outside" areas of the Biloxi Marsh are starting to heat up too, where you'll typically be fishing without another boat in sight while spotting sharks, dolphins, and sea turtles[3]. Offshore, the red snapper season that opened May 1st continues with a daily limit of four fish per person (16-inch minimum). Remember you need your basic and Saltwater Recreational Fishing License plus that Recreational Offshore Landing Permit if you're heading out for the snapper[4]. Don't forget your sunscreen and plenty of water folks - it's heating up out there. This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow. Tight lines, y'all!

We’re rolling right into peak spring fishing and the action has been hot. Sunrise was at 6:08 a.m. and sunset will be at 7:52 p.m. today, so you have a good long window to wet a line. Tides are running strong, with high tide peaking mid-morning—ideal for working the marsh edges and bayou mouths where those predators are stacked and ready to eat. Expect water temps in the low to mid seventies and light winds early, picking up just a bit in the afternoon. A few scattered clouds and mild humidity mean it’s classic spring weather out on the water, pretty much perfect for fishing[4][5]. The speckled trout bite has been nothing short of outstanding. Limits have become the norm across Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain, and the Biloxi Marsh, with quality fish coming off live shrimp under popping corks and soft plastics in green or chartreuse. Early risers are getting into trout at the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue and along the MRGO rocks[1][2]. Trout are schooling over oyster reefs and moving water, so look for diving birds to help locate the big schools. Redfish are around in good numbers, too, though you might have to weed through the smaller ones to find keepers inside the marsh. When you get out to the bigger bays and near the barrier islands, bull reds are an exciting target—chunked mullet and gold spoons are taking the biggest fish[2]. Sheepshead are starting to trickle back from their spawn, and plenty have been caught around pilings and structure in Lake Catherine and the bridges. These are suckers for live shrimp or fiddler crabs. Offshore, red snapper season is open and folks are getting their four-fish limits without much issue. Head to nearshore rigs and wrecks out of Shell Beach or Hopedale, drop cut bait or big jigs near the bottom, and you’re in business. King mackerel and Spanish mackerel are in the mix for those trolling further out with flashy spoons and dusters[5]. For your best shot today, hit the Biloxi Marsh early for specks and bulls, or try the Highway 11 bridge in Lake Pontchartrain for a mixed bag of trout, reds, and sheepshead. The mouth of Bayou Bienvenue is another reliable hot spot right now. Top lures this week are Matrix Shad in Holy Joely or Lemon Head, paddle tails in chartreuse, and gold spoons for reds. Live shrimp has been the top bait by a mile, followed closely by finger mullet for bull reds and cut bait offshore. That’s your report for today. The bite is on, the weather’s looking sweet, and these Louisiana waters are alive and kicking. Tight lines and see y’all out on the water[1][2][4][5]!

We're lookin' at another beautiful day on the water with clear skies and light winds making for ideal casting conditions. Sunrise was at 6:05 AM and we'll see sunset around 7:48 PM, giving y'all plenty of daylight to get after them fish. The tide's running moderate today with a falling cycle through mid-morning, which should create some nice current along the marsh edges where them predators love to ambush bait. The speckled trout bite has been absolutely on fire this past week! Anglers have been limiting out in Lake Borgne and the outer bays of the Biloxi Marsh. Most folks are pulling in solid 1-2 pounders, with some real gators pushing 3 pounds for those willing to put in the time. These trout are hammering live shrimp under popping corks, but don't overlook them pearl-colored soft plastics on a 1/4 ounce jighead if you're working artificial. Redfish action remains strong, especially along grass edges and oyster reefs. We been seeing plenty of slot-sized reds, though if you venture out to the deeper passes, them bull reds have been showing up to give your drag a real workout. Gold spoons and cut mullet have been the ticket for the redfish crowd. Sheephead are filtering back into the area from their spawning grounds, making for a nice mixed-bag opportunity around structure. Them sheepies love fiddler crabs or fresh shrimp on a small hook. For you offshore folks, the action's heating up too. The transition to summer patterns is well underway, and boats making the run to the deeper rigs are finding tuna and some early season mahi starting to show. Hot spots this weekend: I'd be hitting the eastern shoreline of Lake Borgne early for them trout, then as the day warms up, slide over to the islands of the Biloxi Marsh. The Shell Beach area has been particularly productive, and don't overlook the structures around the MRGO rocks if you're looking for some variety in your catch. For you folks wanting to stay closer to the dock, the trestles in Lake Pontchartrain have been giving up some decent trout on the tide changes. Remember to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and keep them fish on ice. Nothing ruins a good catch like improper handling in this heat we're getting.

Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for May 16, 2025, covering the New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico waters. Weather's looking mighty fine today with clear skies and a gentle breeze from the southeast at about 8 mph. Perfect conditions to get out on the water! Sunrise was at 6:00 AM, and we can expect sunset around 7:55 PM. Tides are running moderately today with a high tide mid-morning and another this evening, creating some excellent feeding periods. Let me tell you, the fishing has been absolutely fantastic lately! Speckled trout have been on a phenomenal bite this past week. Many anglers have been reporting limits of these silvery beauties, especially during the early morning hours. The trout seem to be favoring deeper channels and moving into the shallows during high tide. Redfish action continues to be steady, though not quite as hot as we'd typically expect for this season. They're still out there, just being a bit more selective than usual. Black drum have been making a good showing too, particularly around structure and oyster beds. Offshore, the action is heating up nicely! Mahi-mahi and yellowfin tuna have been providing some thrilling fights for those venturing into the deeper Gulf waters. For bait, live shrimp and mullet remain the top producers, especially for redfish. If you're heading out with artificial lures, soft plastic curly tail jigs in chartreuse and white have been working wonders. Topwater plugs are bringing explosive strikes in the early morning and late evening. For the trout specifically, Mirrolures and similar crankbaits have been the ticket – they just can't seem to resist them! As for hot spots, Lake Pontchartrain bridges have been producing consistently good catches of trout and reds. The marshes around Shell Beach are absolutely cooking with redfish activity. If you're heading offshore, the rigs about 20 miles out are holding some nice concentrations of pelagics. Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen – it's getting warm out there, folks! Also, don't forget to check your safety equipment before heading out. That's all for today's report. This is Artificial Lure signing off – tight lines and good fishing to y'all!

We kicked off the morning with calm weather and clear skies, with sunrise at 6:07 AM and expecting sunset around 7:46 PM. Winds are light, making for smooth drifting and ideal casting conditions. Water temps have been warming steadily, and with a moderate falling tide through much of the morning, there was a stronger current to work baits along the edges of the marshes and cuts—always a good time for predator activity. The speckled trout bite continues to be lights out, with anglers limiting out in Lake Borgne and along the outer bays. Folks are pulling in solid numbers of 1-2 pound trout, with a few pushing three pounds for those putting in the time. Redfish action is still strong, especially for those working the grass edges and oyster reefs. Most reds are running slot size, though there are enough bulls showing up out in the deeper passes to keep things exciting. Sheephead are also starting to move back in from the spawning grounds, mixing in with the mixed bag catches along pilings and rocks[2][3]. For those heading out further, the bluewater bite is heating up. Reports of yellowfin tuna are coming in from the rigs southeast of Venice, with boats getting on quality fish using chunk bait and topwater plugs when the opportunity presents itself[5]. Snapper season is open, and the close rigs and reefs are giving up limits of red snapper—remember to check the latest regulations before heading out[4]. Best baits for today have been live shrimp under a popping cork for trout and slot reds, while gold spoons and soft plastics in chartreuse have done well for those working the marshes. Out at the rocks and bridges, dead shrimp or crab pieces are bringing in sheephead and drum. For the bluewater guys, chunking with pogies and trolling large diving lures have been the ticket for tuna. Top local hot spots include the east side of Lake Borgne for trout and reds, and the Biloxi Marsh outer islands if you want some solitude and bigger fish. For the more adventurous, the rigs out of Venice are delivering tuna, snapper, and an occasional cobia. All in all, it’s a fantastic time to be fishing in southeast Louisiana.

First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, we've got a high pressure system bringing clear skies and moderate winds out of the east at about 10 mph. This should make for some pretty pleasant fishing conditions. Sunrise was at about 6:00 AM, and we can expect sunset around 7:50 PM. Tides have been fairly moderate, with a gentle rise and fall throughout the day, which should help keep the fish active. Inshore fishing has been absolutely on fire lately. Redfish, Speckled Trout, and Black Drum are all actively feeding, making for some thrilling catches in the bayous and marshes. Over the past week, we've seen some big trout coming in, with several trips reporting catches of these fine fish. As for Redfish, they're a bit slower than expected for this time of year, but they're still out there waiting to be caught. For bait, live shrimp and mullet have been doing well, especially for the reds. When it comes to lures, soft plastic curly tail jigs and topwater plugs have been producing some fantastic action for both trout and redfish. If you're looking to target trout specifically, try using some mirrolure or similar crankbaits; they seem to be favored by these feisty fish. Now, if you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the marshes around Slidell and some of the nearshore reefs in Lake Borgne. These areas have been yielding some great catches of both trout and redfish. Another spot worth mentioning is the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet (MR-GO), where you can find a nice mix of species including Black Drum and occasionally some bigger predators like sharks. Offshore, the news is just as exciting. Anglers have been having a blast catching Mahi-Mahi and Tuna on the deeper waters of the Gulf. Rig up with some lures that mimic baitfish, like spoons or skirted trolling lures, and you should be in for a treat. In summary, this is a great time to get out on the water. With favorable weather and tidal conditions, combined with some fantastic fish activity, you'll be in for a real treat fishing in and around New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Remember to bring your sunscreen, your favorite rod, and a bit of luck. Happy fishing This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The sun’s coming up at 6:07 am and setting at 7:46 pm, giving us a solid window to make the most of what’s shaping up to be another action-packed day. Today we’re beginning with light winds and warm temps in the mid-70s climbing to the low 80s by the afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy, and there’s a light breeze out of the southeast—just enough to keep things comfortable and the water moving. The tidal swing is moderate, with a high tide around mid-morning, which usually gets those inshore fish feeding aggressively. The inshore bite around the marshes and bayous has been strong all week, with Redfish leading the charge. Anglers have been pulling in solid reds, many slot-sized and a few brutes over the slot in shallow water. Speckled Trout action is heating up too—good numbers of trout over 20 inches are coming from deeper cuts and channels, while schools of smaller trout are stacked in the passes. Black Drum have also been hitting well, especially on the edges where oyster reefs drop off into deeper holes. Offshore, the bluewater bite has turned on with Mahi-Mahi and Tuna both making appearances for boats running out past the rigs. The fish are actively chasing bait balls, so if you’re heading that way, bring your heavier gear and be ready for some fast action. Best bait and lures this week—live shrimp and market bait are always a go-to for Redfish and Drum, but the locals have been scoring big with artificial paddle-tail soft plastics in chartreuse or white, especially during moving tides. Topwater plugs just after sunrise have been deadly on the trout near grass lines and points. For offshore, trolling with skirted ballyhoo or chugging topwater poppers has been pulling in solid Mahi and even a few blackfin Tuna. For hot spots, you can’t go wrong with the marsh edges around Delacroix and Hopedale for inshore species. Look for moving water and bait activity for best results. If you’re looking offshore, try the South Pass rigs or out toward the Midnight Lump for your shot at big game. All in all, fish are active, the bite is good, and the conditions are ripe for a stellar day on the water. Grab your gear, pack some patience, and get after it. Tight lines, y’all!

Artificial Lure here with your Saturday, May 10th, 2025 fishing report for the New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico area. The fishing has been absolutely on fire lately, with this beautiful spring weather we're having. Today's sunrise was at about 6:15 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:40 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get your lines wet. Weather-wise, we're seeing temperatures in the mid-70s this morning, climbing to the mid-80s by afternoon with a light southeastern breeze at 5-10 knots. The water clarity is good to excellent in most areas, and the tides are running about normal with a high tide mid-morning and another this evening. Folks have been reporting excellent catches all week. The redfish bite has been particularly strong on the flats, with many anglers bringing in slot-sized to over-slot reds. These copper beauties have been hitting gold spoons, spinner baits, and popping corks with shrimp. If you're looking for some bull reds, try using cut mullet or cracked blue crab. Speckled trout fishing has also been heating up, with good numbers of smaller trout in deeper water and some real gators over 20 inches being caught along the edges of the marsh grass. For these specks, live shrimp under a popping cork is always a winner, but soft plastics in chartreuse or glow have been producing as well. Black drum are still hanging around in good numbers, and they're suckers for fresh shrimp or crab on a Carolina rig. For you offshore folks, the tuna bite has been steady, and we're starting to see more mahi-mahi showing up as the water warms. Ballyhoo and flying fish imitations have been the ticket for the dolphin. As for hot spots, check out Lake Pontchartrain's Trestle Bridge for some nice trout action, or head over to the MRGO rocks for redfish. The marsh areas around Delacroix have been producing consistently as well. If you're looking to go a bit further out, The Midnight Lump and nearby rigs have been giving up some yellowfin. Remember y'all, keep what you need and release the rest. The fishing has been so good lately that limiting out hasn't been a problem for most folks, but conservation ensures we'll have these fisheries for years to come. That's it for today's report. Tight lines, stay safe on the water, and as we say down here, laissez les bon temps rouler! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report.

Artificial Lure here with your Friday, May 9th, 2025 fishing report for the New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico area. The fishing has been absolutely on fire this past week! Water temperatures are climbing nicely as we move deeper into spring, and the fish are responding enthusiastically. Redfish action continues to be steady, though not quite as hot as we'd typically expect for this season. The trout bite, however, has been phenomenal! Many anglers are reporting impressive catches of larger-than-average speckled trout, particularly in the early mornings. Black drum have also been making a strong showing in our inshore waters. For those looking to head offshore, the pelagic action is heating up. We're seeing good numbers of mahi-mahi moving in, and the tuna bite has been consistent for those willing to make the journey out. Tide-wise, we're looking at a high tide around mid-morning today with a moderate outgoing tide through the afternoon. This movement should trigger some good feeding activity, especially along the marsh edges as water drains out. Weather conditions are favorable with light southeast winds around 5-8 knots and partly cloudy skies. Sunrise was at 6:08 AM, and sunset will be at 7:42 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get those lines wet. As for bait and lures, live shrimp continues to be the go-to for inshore species. If you're targeting trout, try suspending those shrimp under a popping cork. For the redfish, I'd recommend gold spoons or soft plastics in darker colors like black and gold or purple and chartreuse. Gulp! Shrimp in new penny color has been particularly effective lately. For those heading offshore, ballyhoo and squid have been producing well for the pelagic species. Don't forget those diving plugs in blue/white and pink/white combinations. Hot spots this week include the marshes around Lake Borgne and the Biloxi Marsh for redfish and trout. The MRGO rocks have been consistently productive for both species as well. If you're looking for some serious action with the bull reds, check out the waters around the Chandeleur Islands. For offshore enthusiasts, the rigs starting about 20 miles out have been holding good numbers of fish. The lumps south of Venice are also worth checking out if you're after the bigger pelagics. Remember folks, be safe out there, keep what you'll eat, and release the rest for another day. This is Artificial Lure signing off until next time. Tight lines, y'all!

We greeted the day with a soft sunrise around 6:11 AM, and you can expect sunset to roll in just after 7:40 PM. Today’s weather stays classic spring—mild in the morning with some cloud cover, a light breeze turning up by midday, and highs topping out in the upper 70s. A little chop on the water, but nothing to keep you off the bite. The tide’s been on the move all morning, with a strong incoming push that’s really turned on inshore activity, especially through late morning into mid-afternoon. These conditions are perfect for finding hungry fish along marsh edges, cuts, and drains. Speckled trout have been thick in the passes and deeper bayous, running larger than usual this week. Redfish are a bit spotty, but when you find them, they’re quality fish. Reports from the last few days show anglers landing solid stringers of speckled trout and slot reds, with some nice black drum mixed in for good measure. Offshore, the bluewater crowd is celebrating steady action on mahi-mahi and a few football-sized yellowfin tuna just beyond the rigs. If you’re looking to join the fun, tie on a chartreuse or opening night soft plastic under a popping cork for trout—these have been absolute killers lately, especially during a moving tide. For redfish, gold spoons and live shrimp under a cork have outperformed everything else near the grass and broken marsh. Offshore, trolling ballyhoo and bright skirted jigs are putting fish in the box. Hot spots today include Shell Beach for easy trout limits, and the south side of Lake Borgne if you want to tangle with reds. Down in Lafitte, work the cuts near Bayou Perot for mixed bags—if you’ve got a little patience, this spot has been red-hot as the tide dumps out. In summary, spring fishing is firing on all cylinders. Whether you’re after specks, reds, drum, or heading offshore for a shot at mahi and tuna, today’s conditions are about as good as it gets. Grab your license, pack plenty of water, and make sure you’ve got those popping corks and soft plastics ready. That’s it for today’s report.

Artificial Lure here with your May 5th, 2025 fishing report for the New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico area. Let me tell ya, it's shaping up to be another fine day on the water! The sun rose this morning at around 6:15 AM, and we're looking at a sunset later tonight at about 7:40 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties. The tides are running pretty typical today - we've got a falling tide through mid-morning, then a nice incoming push starting around noon. That transition's gonna be your sweet spot, especially in the marsh areas. Weather-wise, we're seeing temperatures in the low 80s with a light southeasterly breeze around 5-8 knots. Water clarity is good to excellent in most spots after those winds settled down from last week. Fishing's been on fire lately! The redfish bite has been a bit slower than usual for this time of year, but the trout are making up for it with some monster catches reported over the weekend. Folks been hauling in speckled trout in good numbers, with many on the larger side. Black drum are also showing up consistently. For you marsh anglers, I'd recommend hitting Lake Pontchartrain's eastern edges or the Biloxi Marsh area. Gold spoons and soft plastics in chartreuse or glow have been doing the trick for reds. For trout, you can't go wrong with popping corks rigged with shrimp about 18 inches below. If you're heading offshore, the tuna bite has been steady about 40 miles out. Mahis are starting to show up as well, giving folks some variety in their coolers. Best baits right now? Live shrimp is always money in the bank, but if you're going artificial, gulp shrimp in new penny color or Matrix Shad in shrimp creole have been hot tickets. For topwater action, early morning with a Skitterwalk or She Dog has been producing explosive strikes. Hot spots to try today: The MRGO rocks have been yielding good numbers of trout, while Lafitte's back bays are holding some beautiful redfish in the 5-8 pound range. For a real treat, try Shell Beach or Hopedale where guides have been putting clients on limits almost daily. Remember y'all, the fish are there – they just ain't gonna jump in the boat! Get out there and tight lines to all of you! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow. As we like to say down here, laissez les bon temps (et les poissons) rouler!

Folks, we're looking at another beautiful day on the water! The sunrise lit up the sky at 6:12 AM, and we'll have plenty of daylight until sunset at 7:38 PM. The weather's cooperating nicely with temperatures in the low 80s and a light easterly breeze at 5-7 knots. Water clarity is good with visibility around 3-4 feet in most areas. Tide's coming in until about 1:30 PM, then we'll see it falling through the evening. That incoming tide has been pushing some nice fish into the marshes, so plan accordingly. The redfish bite is absolutely on fire right now! Anglers have been limiting out in the marsh areas, with some nice bull reds in the 24-30 inch range. These copper beauties are hitting gold spoons and popping corks with shrimp about 18 inches below. If you're using artificial, those new penny-colored gulp shrimp are doing the trick. Speckled trout are showing up in decent numbers too, especially around structure and oyster beds. They're not quite as active as the reds, but if you find 'em, you can put together a nice mess of fish. Live shrimp under a popping cork is your best bet, but DOA shrimp in natural colors are working well too if you can't get live bait. Black drum are sticking around and providing some good action, especially for folks fishing with dead shrimp or crab chunks on the bottom. For those heading offshore, the red snapper season just opened up on May 1st with a generous four-fish daily limit per person. The minimum length is still 16 inches, and the season will remain open seven days a week until we approach our state allocation. Based on last year's extended season, we might be in for a long stretch of snapper fishing. Hot spots this week: Chef Pass has been producing well for speckled trout. The marsh ponds off Bayou Bienvenue are loaded with redfish. And if you're headed offshore, the rigs about 30 miles out are holding plenty of snapper. For you early birds, the first light topwater bite has been excellent. Those bone-colored Spook Juniors are getting crushed! Remember to stay hydrated out there and keep your catch on ice. The fish are biting, so get out there and take advantage of these prime conditions! This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines, y'all!

High tide's hitting around 7:00 AM at 2.3 feet and again at 5:23 PM reaching 3.1 feet. Low tide will be between those times, so plan accordingly. The fishing action has been red hot lately! Reports coming in from Lafitte and surrounding marshes show anglers hauling in impressive catches. Just a couple weeks back, a group of six teamed up with Captains Shawn and Chad and landed multiple bull reds, speckled trout, sheepsheads, and drum. The fishing gods are smiling on us! For you offshore enthusiasts, there's fantastic news about red snapper season. It kicked off May 1st and will run seven days a week with a generous bag limit of four fish per person (16-inch minimum length). This season is expected to be historic, possibly surpassing last year's 151-day run. As for what's biting, redfish are absolutely tearing it up in the marshes right now. Speckled trout are showing strong too, with reports of 4-pounders being landed off the beaches. Black drum are also making a good showing for themselves. For bait, dead croakers have been working wonders for the specks. If you're going artificial, gold spoons and popping corks with shrimp-imitating soft plastics are your best bet for the reds. Those targeting bull reds might want to try cut mullet or cracked blue crabs. Hot spots this weekend? You can't go wrong in the Delacroix marshes, where guides have been consistently putting clients on fish. The bayous around Lafitte are producing nicely too. If you're heading offshore, the waters near Grand Isle have been yielding good results for those targeting bigger game. Remember, the early bird gets the worm, or in our case, the fish! With sunrise happening early, getting on the water at first light will give you the advantage.

Artificial Lure here with your Friday, May 2, 2025 Gulf of Mexico New Orleans area fishing report. We're seeing fantastic early May conditions right now. The waters around New Orleans are coming alive as we're fully into spring fishing season. The Louisiana Red Snapper season opened yesterday, May 1st, and it's running seven days a week with a generous daily bag limit of four fish per person. Remember that 16-inch minimum length limit, folks. This season is expected to run until we approach Louisiana's annual allocation of 894,955 pounds, and based on last year's 151-day season, we might be in for an even longer opportunity this year. Inshore fishing has been absolutely on fire lately! Redfish continue to provide exciting action throughout the marsh areas. Many anglers have been reporting excellent catches over the past couple weeks. Those speckled trout are becoming more active as the water temperatures have been steadily rising, making this a prime time to target them. Black drum have been showing strongly in the surf as well - these "big uglies" are best sought after with standard bottom fishing techniques. Live or fresh dead bait has been working wonders. For the surf fishermen, pompano bite has been picking up nicely. Use simple pompano rigs with sand flea or shrimp-flavored Fishbites and fresh dead shrimp. They're schooling up well, but they'll likely move to deeper waters as we get closer to summer. Offshore, the action has been equally impressive with mahi-mahi, tuna, and blacktip sharks all providing great opportunities for those willing to venture out into the Gulf. For bait selection, fresh dead shrimp has been working great for inshore species. If you're targeting pompano, those sand fleas are your best bet. For the offshore crowd, larger live baits are producing well for the pelagics. Hot spots this week include the marshes around Lake Borgne for redfish and the outer beaches for pompano. If you're looking for those specks, try deeper channels as the water continues to warm. For offshore enthusiasts, the oil rigs about 20-30 miles out have been consistently producing quality tuna. Remember to check your licenses before heading out, and if you're on a charter, make sure your captain provides that Charter Pass. That's it for today's report. This is Artificial Lure reminding you that a bad day fishing still beats a good day working. Tight lines, y'all!

This is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with your Gulf fishin' report for this fine Wednesday mornin', April 30, 2025. Let me tell ya, we got ourselves some interestin' tide action today. Right about now, we're approachin' low tide at 7:53 AM, so if you're readin' this, you're right in the sweet spot. High tide's gonna roll in around 7:29 this evenin', givin' us plenty of daylight hours to work with. For my New Orleans anglers, that high tide tonight's sittin' at about 1 foot, not the highest we've seen but enough to move some water around. Sun came up this mornin' around 6 o'clock and won't be settin' till about 7:37 PM, so we got ourselves a long day of fishin' ahead. Weather's been typical spring conditions - warm days, light breezes, perfect for gettin' out on the water. Fish activity's been pickin' up lately with the water warmin' up. Been hearin' reports of speckled trout startin' to move into the shallower marshes, and redfish are patrollin' the edges like they own the place. Few of my buddies pulled in some nice flounder this past weekend too, so they're definitely on the move. For you lure junkies (like yours truly), I'd recommend tossin' some gold spoons around the marsh edges for those reds, especially on that outgoin' tide. For specks, can't go wrong with a chartreuse soft plastic under a popping cork - that's been the ticket lately. If you're more of a live bait person, shrimp under a cork has been killin' it, and live croakers if you can get 'em are like candy for them bigger trout. As for hot spots, Lake Pontchartrain's been producin' some decent catches near the bridges and along the Causeway. But if you ask me, I'd point my boat toward Lake Borgne or the MRGO rocks if you're lookin' for a mixed bag. Shell Beach has been on fire lately too. For my kayak folks, the Bayou Bienvenue area's been givin' up some nice reds and the occasional black drum. Don't overlook the canals in Hopedale neither - they been holdin' some surprisingly good fish. Remember, with that low tide happenin' right about now, those fish are gonna be stackin' up in the deeper holes for a few hours before spreadin' out as the water comes back in. Use that to your advantage, my friends. Alright, that's all I got for today. Y'all get out there and catch 'em up, and remember - a bad day fishin' still beats a good day at work!

With prime spring conditions setting in, we’re seeing the action heat up both inshore and offshore. Weather today looks mild and comfortable. Early morning started just shy of 70 degrees, with light south winds that’ll help bring in that saltier water we love to see right now. We’ll have sunrise at 6:24 AM and sunset at 7:36 PM, giving you all day to chase down your limit. Expect partly cloudy skies and a soft breeze, perfect for staying comfortable out on the marsh or out past the rigs. Tides are running moderate today, with a morning incoming tide peaking around 9:32 AM and a healthy outgoing starting late morning, which should keep fish feeding. These moving tides are always a plus for working the points and pockets around the marsh. Fish activity is popping, especially for redfish and speckled trout. Redfish are thick over in the Biloxi Marsh—reports show slots and bulls upwards of 10 pounds are stacking up along those grass edges and points. Anglers are picking up speckled trout in better numbers every day, especially as the shrimp and baitfish start flooding back in with the warmer water. Boundary lines like the outer marsh near Hopedale and down by Delacroix have been especially productive this past week, with a few flounder and some puppy drum mixed in for bonus bites[1][2][3]. Offshore, tuna action is picking up for those running out deep, but inshore and nearshore are stealing the show for numbers. Around the barrier islands, catches include trout, some jack crevalle, and sharks are starting to show up too[3]. Best lures right now are popping corks with live shrimp or matrix shad soft plastics in opening night and shrimp creole colors. Topwater plugs at first light are putting solid trout in the box, and gold spoons or spinnerbaits are hard to beat for those marsh reds. If you can get your hands on live bait at your local shop, don’t pass it up—the fish are chasing real food as much as artificials right now. Hot spots to try today include the Biloxi Marsh edges for both trout and reds, and don’t overlook the Lake Borgne area as the water has started to clear up and fish are pushing back in. The mouth of Bayou St. Malo and the south shoreline of Lake Borgne are both producing. Numbers-wise, anglers are steadily landing limits of trout and redfish, with some reports of double-digit redfish days for boats working the moving water and bait-laden cuts near the marsh[1][2][3]. That’s the scoop for today. Get out there, stay safe, and tight lines from Artificial Lure. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We are starting the week with prime spring conditions out on the water. Today’s weather is just about perfect for fishing with highs around 75 degrees. Expect a light southeast breeze running 5 to 10 miles an hour, making it comfortable whether you are inshore or heading offshore. Sunrise was at 6:32 AM, while sunset is at 7:28 PM, giving plenty of daylight to work those lines. Tide-wise, low tide hit at 9:19 this morning, and we are looking at high tide around 8:59 tonight, so plan your trips around moving water for best results[1]. Fish are biting well right now, especially inshore. Redfish are thick in the Biloxi Marsh, from slots to bull reds pushing 10 pounds. They are stacking up along grass lines and in the shallow ponds. Speckled trout action is hot too—nice fish in the 2 to 4 pound class have been reported in Lake Borgne and out closer to Lake Pontchartrain. If you like a mixed bag, black drum and flounder have been steady by the bayous and deeper marsh cuts. The marsh water has cleaned up recently, and more baitfish and shrimp are moving through, which means things will only keep heating up[1][2]. Offshore anglers running out to the rigs report good numbers of mahi-mahi, blackfin, and yellowfin tuna, especially around the Midnight Lump. The big spring push of bait is bringing in those pelagic species, so now is the time to go long if you have the boat and gear for it[1]. As for bait and lures, live shrimp and market bait are always solid choices for inshore redfish and trout. Soft plastics on a jighead, like Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp in chartreuse or glow, have been doing damage on trout. For redfish, gold spoons and weedless swimbaits are getting the job done along grass edges. Offshore, trolling skirted ballyhoo or chunking with cut bait is working for those tuna and mahi[1][2]. A couple of hot spots to put on your list: Biloxi Marsh for big bull reds, and the east side of Lake Borgne for speckled trout runs. If you’re headed offshore, Midnight Lump is producing the most consistent tuna action right now[1]. That’s the scoop for today. With the tides and weather lining up, now’s a great time to wet a line.

Mon, 21 Apr 2025 07:54:12 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Artificial Lure here with your Monday, April 21, 2025 Gulf of Mexico New Orleans area fishing report. We are starting the week with prime spring conditions out on the water. Today’s weather is just about perfect for fishing with highs around 75 degrees. Expect a light southeast breeze running 5 to 10 miles an hour, making it comfortable whether you are inshore or heading offshore. Sunrise was at 6:32 AM, while sunset is at 7:28 PM, giving plenty of daylight to work those lines. Tide-wise, low tide hit at 9:19 this morning, and we are looking at high tide around 8:59 tonight, so plan your trips around moving water for best results[1]. Fish are biting well right now, especially inshore. Redfish are thick in the Biloxi Marsh, from slots to bull reds pushing 10 pounds. They are stacking up along grass lines and in the shallow ponds. Speckled trout action is hot too—nice fish in the 2 to 4 pound class have been reported in Lake Borgne and out closer to Lake Pontchartrain. If you like a mixed bag, black drum and flounder have been steady by the bayous and deeper marsh cuts. The marsh water has cleaned up recently, and more baitfish and shrimp are moving through, which means things will only keep heating up[1][2]. Offshore anglers running out to the rigs report good numbers of mahi-mahi, blackfin, and yellowfin tuna, especially around the Midnight Lump. The big spring push of bait is bringing in those pelagic species, so now is the time to go long if you have the boat and gear for it[1]. As for bait and lures, live shrimp and market bait are always solid choices for inshore redfish and trout. Soft plastics on a jighead, like Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp in chartreuse or glow, have been doing damage on trout.

We are right in the prime season for coastal angling and conditions are lining up for a classic spring bite. Starting off with the weather it is set to be a mild day along the coast. Expect partly cloudy skies with light southeast winds around 8 to 12 mph and afternoon highs in the mid-70s. This is about as good as it gets for a long day on the water. Sunrise this morning was at 6 23 AM with sunset coming at 7 30 PM. You have a full day of light to work the bays and islands. Tides today are steady with a moderate incoming tide through the morning. This is perfect for targeting inshore species as that moving water brings bait in close and really gets fish active. The high tide is hitting mid-morning and starting to fall back just after lunch which should provide a good window for a hot bite. Fishing in and around the barrier islands like Breton and Chandeleur has been solid lately. Reports say the numbers have not hit their summer peaks yet but the quality is there and it is only going to improve over the coming weeks. Speckled trout are biting especially around the edges and cuts near the islands and all along the marsh shorelines. Redfish action has heated up too with good catches coming out of the Biloxi Marsh and the passes near Hopedale and Shell Beach. Out at the rigs and reefs in deeper water anglers are landing red snapper and the occasional tuna when the weather cooperates. For lures and bait right now the go-to for trout has been soft plastics like Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp under popping corks. Chartreuse and glow colors are getting the nod with the slightly stained water from recent winds. For redfish gold spoons and live shrimp or cut mullet are putting plenty in the box. Out at the rigs snapper are quick to bite cut pogies live croakers or squid. Recent catches have included good stringers of slot reds and specks with a few bull reds showing up on the flats. Offshore trips are now seeing red snapper along with some amberjack and an uptick in grouper according to the latest council report. Look for the tuna bite to stay consistent especially around the deeper rigs and shelf edges. Hot spots to target today include the Chandeleur Sound oyster reefs the cuts around Shell Beach and the marsh drains leading into Breton Sound. If you are looking for a big bull red or a shot at a Cajun slam try the points between Bayou Biloxi and the Biloxi Marsh. All in all this is shaping up to be a great day on the water. Keep an eye on the tide swings use lively or flashy baits and work those moving waters for your best shot at a limit. Tight lines and good luck out there.

Sun’s breaking the horizon this morning at 6:28 AM, with another long day of fishing ahead until sunset at 7:30 PM. The tides are running slack for most of the day, with a low tide peaking right around midday at 12:05 PM, a drop to about half a foot. That means your best action is likely to happen in the few hours around first light and again late this afternoon when water movement picks back up. If you’re wading out or bouncing the shorelines, plan to hit it early before that low rolls in, or stick around for the evening bite as things start shifting again[1][3][5]. Weather’s setting up classic springtime New Orleans—starting off a little sticky, with some lingering humidity, light southern winds, and a gentle warm-up as the day goes on. This kind of weather’s got speckled trout and redfish moving out of deeper winter holes and back onto grass flats, oyster reefs, and marsh cuts. Reports from the past week say the bites have been steady. Anglers working the Lake Pontchartrain bridges and marsh drains east of Chef Pass have been hauling in solid numbers of keeper specks and slot reds, with a few flounder and sheepshead showing up in the mix. If you want to home in on some hot action, check Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO rocks, plus the Lake Borgne shorelines—both have been holding schools of redfish cruising the edges and plenty of specks pushing white shrimp. On calmer days, the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway pilings are still giving up some hefty trout, especially near moving water and structure. For lures, you can’t go wrong with chartreuse and glow plastics or paddle tails under popping corks—try Vudu Shrimp or Matrix Shad for trout, and Gulp! Swimming Mullet or gold spoons for reds. Live shrimp or market bait on a Carolina rig is still a favorite if you want to soak a line and wait for a big bite. Early risers pitching topwater plugs—like a MirrOlure She Dog or Skitter Walk—should see some heart-racing blowups right at daybreak. Fish smart, work moving water, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for birds diving and bait jumping—nature’s signpost to hungry fish. Tight lines, y’all!

We are waking up to prime spring conditions, with a mild day ahead. Highs are hovering near 75 degrees, and there’s a nice light southeast breeze at 5 to 10 miles an hour. The sunrise was at 6:32 AM and you’ve got plenty of daylight, with sunset coming at 7:28 PM. Tides today are in your favor: we hit low tide at 9:19 this morning and you can expect high tide around 8:59 tonight, so you’ll want to plan your trips around those moving tides for the best action[9][6]. The inshore bite is hot. Redfish are thick in the Biloxi Marsh, with most catches running 5 to 10 pounds, and a steady stream of bull reds reported off the grass lines. Speckled trout are showing up big this week—fish in the two to four pound range are coming from Lake Borgne and out near Lake Pontchartrain. Black drum and the occasional flounder have also come to the net in the bayous and marsh cuts. Offshore, the pelagic action is heating up, too. Folks running out to the rigs are catching good numbers of mahi-mahi, blackfin, and yellowfin tuna, especially around the Midnight Lump[5][1][3]. Best baits right now are live shrimp under a popping cork for trout and reds, with mud minnows and pinfish putting in work as well—especially if you’re chasing those bigger inshore predators. If you’re throwing artificials, you can’t go wrong with a gold Johnson Sprite spoon for redfish, or a Gulp! shrimp in New Penny or chartreuse for trout. Early mornings, topwater action is still good, so don’t forget a bone or chrome Skitterwalk. When the sun gets high, switch to soft plastics like paddle tails or jerkbaits in natural colors[1][5][10]. Some of the hottest action today is coming from the Biloxi Marsh for redfish and the reefs and deeper channels of Lake Borgne for trout. If you’re aiming offshore, hit the Midnight Lump or the oil rigs 20 miles out for a shot at mahi and tuna[5][1]. Recent hauls have seen anglers filling coolers with mixed bags—multiple bull reds, solid limits of trout, black drum, and even some flounder and sheepshead mixed in around the structure. Offshore, the tuna bite continues strong with yellowfins running big and a decent showing of amberjack and mahi as the water warms[1][3][5]. Before heading out, check your gear, your licenses, and pack plenty of water. The bite is strong and the weather’s right—get out there and make the most of it.

Today, April 14, 2025, looks like another fantastic day for fishing in and around the Gulf of Mexico near New Orleans. Here’s your fishing report to help you make the most of your trip. The weather is shaping up to be mild, with highs around 75°F and light southeast winds at 5-10 mph—perfect for a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:39 AM, and sunset will be at 7:32 PM, providing plenty of daylight for fishing. As for tides, there's a low tide this morning at 7:56 AM and a high tide at 8:33 PM, which gives a nice long window for optimal fishing between tidal movements. Fishing activity has been solid recently, with impressive reports of Redfish, Speckled Trout, and even Black Drum from inshore waters. Offshore, the action is picking up with Mahi-Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna for those venturing farther out. Last week saw anglers landing large bull Redfish and trophy Speckled Trout, as well as some flounder in the marshy areas. For today, the Biloxi Marsh and Lake Borgne are excellent bets for consistent catches. The marsh is teeming with Redfish along the grass lines, while Lake Borgne is producing steady numbers of Trout near its reefs and channels. When it comes to bait, live shrimp remains the go-to for inshore species like Redfish and Trout. Mud minnows and pinfish are also doing well in the marshes. Offshore fishermen have found success with threadfin herring and chunk baits for targeting Tuna. If artificial lures are more your style, gold Johnson Sprite spoons and Berkley Gulp! shrimp in “New Penny” are proving irresistible to Redfish. For early morning topwater action, Skitterwalks in bone or silver mullet are recommended. As the water warms, switch to soft plastics or jig heads in shades like chartreuse or pearl. For hot spots today, Biloxi Marsh is red-hot with Redfish activity, particularly near grassy flats. Lake Borgne is another reliable choice, especially around its underwater structure and oyster reefs for Speckled Trout. Offshore enthusiasts should consider heading 20 miles or more into the Gulf to target Mahi-Mahi and Yellowfin Tuna near oil rigs or floating debris. Finally, always double-check your fishing gear, pack enough water, and ensure your fishing license is current. Whether you’re casting inshore or heading offshore, it’s shaping up to be a great day to reel in some action. Tight lines and good luck!

Today’s sunrise was at 6:37 AM, and the sun will set at 7:25 PM, giving us plenty of time to hit the waters. The weather is warm and pleasant with light winds – perfect conditions for fishing. Let’s dive into the details for the day. The tides are active today with a low tide at 2:33 AM (0.25 ft), a high tide peaking at 8:51 AM (0.29 ft), another minor low tide at 9:52 AM, followed by a higher evening tide around 7:00 PM (0.44 ft). This tidal movement is ideal for targeting feeding fish, particularly during the morning high tide and the evening surge. The fishing activity in the area has been promising. Redfish and speckled trout are biting well, especially in the marshes and flats near Lake Pontchartrain and lower Barataria Bay. Some anglers have reported nice catches of sheepshead around structures and drum closer to the deeper passes. Offshore, cobia and snapper are making their rounds, with some anglers catching limits near the oil rigs. For bait, live shrimp continues to be the top choice for inshore fishing, working wonders on redfish, trout, and sheepshead. Mud minnows and pinfish are effective alternatives, especially if targeting drum. For artificial lures, gold spoons and soft plastic paddle tails (in natural or pearl colors) are a hit in the shallow flats. Topwater plugs are also producing explosive strikes early in the morning. If you're looking for hotspots, consider heading to Bayou Bienvenue for inshore action. The Chandeleur Sound is another solid choice, offering great fishing for trout and redfish. For offshore enthusiasts, the rigs off Grand Isle are holding a mix of snapper and cobia. With the favorable tides and active fish, today’s shaping up to be a fantastic day for angling. Grab your gear, pick your spot, and enjoy the thrill of reeling them in! Tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Sunrise was at 6:42 AM, and sunset will be at 7:17 PM, giving you plenty of time on the water. The weather is warm, with highs reaching the mid-80s, and the winds are light out of the southeast at 5-10 knots, providing excellent conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing. Inshore, redfish are the star of the show, actively biting in marshy areas like the Biloxi Marsh and Lake Borgne. Speckled trout are also abundant, especially near Lake Pontchartrain. Recent catches include redfish averaging 5-10 pounds and speckled trout weighing 2-4 pounds. Black drum and flounder are also making regular appearances in these waters. Offshore action is heating up, with amberjack and blackfin tuna being caught around oil rigs and artificial reefs. For bait, live shrimp under popping corks remain a top choice for redfish and trout. Redfish are also hitting on gold spoons, especially in slightly murkier conditions. Soft plastics, especially paddle tails in natural hues like chartreuse and silver, are working wonders for trout. Offshore anglers are finding success with jigging lures and cut bait for amberjack. Looking for a hot spot? For inshore action, try the Biloxi Marsh or the eastern edges of Lake Pontchartrain. If you’re heading offshore, the area around the Midnight Lump or nearby oil rigs is teeming with activity and excellent opportunities for a big catch. So grab your gear, Louisiana fishing license, and favorite bait, and make the most of today’s fantastic conditions. Tight lines and good luck!

The Gulf of Mexico waters around New Orleans are teeming with activity today, and with favorable conditions, it's a perfect time to head out. Here’s your latest fishing report. Tides and Weather: Today, we have a low tide at 10:07 AM with a height of 0.5 ft, and the high tide will come in at 9:38 PM, peaking at 0.9 ft. These moderate tidal changes create great opportunities for fishing, especially during the incoming tide. The weather is expected to be warm with morning temperatures in the 70s, climbing to the mid-80s by afternoon. Winds are calm at 5-10 knots, coming from the southeast, making for smooth boating conditions. Sunrise was at 6:40 AM, and sunset will be at 7:23 PM, giving plenty of daylight for long fishing sessions. Fishing Activity: Redfish and speckled trout are biting well inshore around the marshes and bayous, particularly in areas like Lake Borgne and the Biloxi Marsh. Offshore, the waters around oil rigs and artificial reefs are productive for snapper and amberjack, though the recreational red snapper season won’t open until May 1. Recent catches inshore have included solid-sized redfish, averaging 5-10 pounds, and speckled trout in the 2-4 pound range. Offshore trips have yielded sizable amberjack and some blackfin tuna. Best Bait and Lures: Inshore waters are favorable for live shrimp under popping corks, which continue to attract redfish and trout. Gold spoon lures remain a classic choice for redfish, particularly in murkier water. For trout, soft plastics like paddletails in natural colors such as chartreuse or silver have been highly effective. Offshore anglers targeting amberjack and other species may find success with jigging lures and cut bait. Hot Spots: For inshore fishing, the Biloxi Marsh and the eastern edges of Lake Pontchartrain are great locations where you’ll encounter feeding redfish and trout. For a productive offshore trip, try targeting waters around the Midnight Lump or nearby oil rigs, where predators like amberjack and grouper are common. Get ready to hit the water, and don't forget to bring your Louisiana fishing license and necessary gear. Tight lines and good luck!

This is Artificial Lure, your local fishing guru, coming at you with the latest report from the Big Easy and the Gulf. It's Monday, March 31, 2025, and let me tell you, the fishing's hotter than a crawfish boil! First things first, the sun's gonna peek over the horizon at 6:52 AM and call it quits at 7:13 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours and change to wet our lines. Now, onto the tides. We've got a low tide at 7:24 AM, measuring about half a foot, and a high tide coming in at 7:46 PM, pushing just shy of a foot. That's gonna make for some interesting action, especially in the shallows. Weather-wise, it's looking mighty fine. We're expecting temperatures in the low 70s with a light breeze – perfect conditions for both you and the fish. Now, let's talk about what's biting. Folks have been hauling in redfish like they're going out of style, especially around the shell reefs and along the jetties. Speckled trout are also making a strong showing, particularly in the deeper channels. And don't forget about those bull reds in the surf – they've been giving anglers a run for their money! As for lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon – it's been working wonders on those reds. For the specks, try a soft plastic paddletail in a pearl or chartreuse color. If you're feeling fancy, a topwater plug early in the morning can lead to some explosive action. Live bait's always a good bet too. Shrimp are like candy to these fish, and if you can get your hands on some live croakers or mullet, you're in for a treat. For you folks looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the Rigolets or the Chef Menteur Pass. The MRGO rocks have also been producing some nice catches. If you're up for a bit of a drive, Venice's been on fire lately. Remember, it's all about reading the water and adjusting your technique. Keep an eye out for birds diving or bait fish jumping – that's where the action is. So grab your gear, hit the water, and let's make some memories. This is Artificial Lure signing off, and as we say down here, "Laissez les bons temps rouler!" Let the good times roll, and tight lines to all of you!

It's gonna be a beautiful day out on the water around New Orleans and the Gulf, so grab your rods and let's get after 'em! First off, let's talk tides. We've got a low tide comin' in at 4:43 AM, sittin' at about 0.12 feet. High tide's rollin' in later at 7:38 PM, pushin' up to 0.42 feet. That means we'll have a nice incoming tide for most of the day, which should get them fish movin'. Sun's comin' up at 6:51 AM and settin' at 7:18 PM, givin' us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather's lookin' mighty fine too - clear skies and temps in the mid-70s. Perfect conditions for some serious fishin'! Now, let's talk about what's bitin'. Folks have been haulin' in some nice redfish and speckled trout lately, especially around the marsh edges and oyster reefs. There's been reports of some good-sized black drum too, if you're lookin' for a fight. For you lure lovers out there, I'd recommend tossin' some paddletails or jerkbaits in the Slam Shady color. That gold and silver flash has been drivin' the fish crazy. If you're more of a live bait kinda angler, can't go wrong with some fresh shrimp or mud minnows. As for hot spots, y'all might want to check out the Rigolets or Chef Menteur Pass. The water's movin' good through there, and the fish have been stackin' up. If you're feelin' adventurous, head on down to Barataria Bay - I've been hearin' some good things about the action down there. Remember, match your leader to the conditions. If you're fishin' the flats, a 2-foot 15-pound test mono should do the trick. If you're around structure or expectin' bigger fish, you might wanna bump that up to 20 or 30-pound. That's all I've got for ya today, folks. Now get out there and show them fish who's boss! This is Artificial Lure, signin' off and wishin' y'all tight lines and full coolers. See ya on the water!

Keep an eye on those tides as they can really affect the bite. Weather-wise, it's looking mighty fine. The Gulf's calm as can be, with winds staying light. Perfect conditions for getting out there and wetting a line. Fish activity's been picking up lately with the warmer spring weather. Folks have been having good luck with redfish, speckled trout, and some nice-sized black drum. Even heard tell of a few early season cobia being spotted. For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a paddletail soft plastic. The reds and trout have been hitting those hard. If you're looking to switch it up, try a topwater walk-the-dog style lure early in the morning or late evening. That's been producing some explosive strikes. Live bait's always a good bet too. Shrimp is king around here, but if you can get your hands on some live croakers or mullet, those big trout can't resist 'em. As for hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around the marshes of Delacroix or over by the Biloxi Marsh. The Shell Beach area's been producing well too. If you're feeling adventurous, head out to the rigs for some deeper water action. Remember, match your bait to what the fish are naturally feeding on. This time of year, they're looking for those baitfish schools, so keep an eye out for birds diving or bait jumping. That's all I got for now, folks. Get out there, stay safe, and tight lines!

Artificial Lure here with your local fishing report for the Big Easy and surrounding Gulf waters on this fine Wednesday, March 26, 2025. Let's start with the tides. We've got a high tide coming in at 5:35 AM, measuring about 0.9 feet, followed by a low tide at 6:00 PM at 0.6 feet. The water's on the move, so keep that in mind when you're picking your spots. Weather-wise, it's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the water. Sunrise was at 6:52 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:13 PM. Plenty of daylight to get those lines wet! Now, let's talk fish. The redfish and speckled trout have been biting like crazy lately. Folks have been hauling in some nice-sized reds, especially around the marsh edges and oyster reefs. For the specks, try working the deeper channels and drop-offs. As for lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon for those reds. They've been hitting them hard. For trout, a soft plastic paddletail on a 1/4 oz jighead has been the ticket. If you're more of a live bait person, shrimp is always a safe bet – those little crustaceans are like candy to our local fish. Some hot spots to check out: The Rigolets has been producing some quality fish, and the waters around Chef Menteur Pass have been on fire. If you're looking to venture a bit further out, the rigs in 100 feet of water have been holding some nice snapper and amberjack. Remember, folks, amberjack season is open, so if you're heading offshore, don't forget to pack some heavier tackle. Those AJs will put up a fight! For you early birds, topwater action has been stellar at first light. Walking baits like the Zara Spook or a popper can draw some explosive strikes from both reds and trout. That's the scoop for today, anglers. Get out there, stay safe, and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

We've got a high tide coming in at 3:52 AM measuring 0.9 feet, followed by a low tide at 2:41 PM at 0.6 feet. The sun rose at 6:51 AM and will set at 7:14 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-70s. The wind's coming in from the southeast at about 10 knots, so it should be calm enough for most boats to get out there. Now for the good stuff - the fish are biting! Redfish have been active lately, especially around the marshes and oyster reefs. Anglers have been having luck with gold spoons and soft plastic paddletails in shrimp colors. For you live bait enthusiasts, shrimp on a popping cork is always a solid choice. Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too. Try working jerkbaits or soft plastics under a cork around points and drop-offs. The Gulp! Shrimp in new penny color has been producing well. For you offshore folks, the snapper bite has been decent, with some nice-sized fish coming in from the rigs about 30 miles out. Fresh cut bait or live pinfish have been the ticket. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the Rigolets or the Chef Pass for some inshore action. If you're looking to stay closer to the city, the Seabrook Bridge area has been producing some nice trout and reds. Remember, match your lure to the bait fish in the area and you'll increase your chances of success. And don't forget to release what you won't use - let's keep our fisheries healthy for the future.

It's a beautiful mornin' in the Big Easy, with sunrise at 6:56 AM and sunset later at 7:14 PM. Weather's lookin' mighty fine today, perfect for wettin' a line. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide comin' in at 3:00 AM, reachin' about 0.8 feet, and a low tide at 1:55 PM, droppin' to 0.5 feet. That means we've got some good movement in the water, which should get them fish bitin'. Fish activity's been pretty hot lately, especially with the redfish and speckled trout. Folks have been pullin' in some nice catches around the Chef Menteur Pass and Lake Borgne. I've heard tell of a few lucky anglers landin' some solid 5-pounders. For you lure enthusiasts out there, I'd recommend tossin' some paddletails or gold spoons. The Z-Man DarterZ and MirrOlure Lil' John have been workin' wonders on them specks. For the reds, you can't go wrong with a Johnson Silver Minnow spoon in gold or copper. If you're more of a live bait kinda angler, shrimp is always a safe bet. Them fish can't resist a nice, juicy shrimp dancin' on the end of your line. Cut bait's been producin' too, especially for the bigger reds. Now, for them hot spots. I'd suggest y'all try your luck around the Rigolets or head out to the Chandeleur Islands if you're feelin' adventurous. The oil rigs off Venice have been firin' up too, if you're lookin' to go a bit further out. Don't forget, amberjack season's open, so if you're headin' offshore, you might wanna drop a line about 24-25 miles out. Them AJs have been bitin' on live bait and jigs in about 100 feet of water. Remember to keep an eye on them tides and match your bait to what them fish are feedin' on. Tight lines, y'all, and let's hope them fish are hungry!

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 07:51:22 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishin' report for March 23, 2025. It's a beautiful mornin' in the Big Easy, with sunrise at 6:56 AM and sunset later at 7:14 PM. Weather's lookin' mighty fine today, perfect for wettin' a line. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide comin' in at 3:00 AM, reachin' about 0.8 feet, and a low tide at 1:55 PM, droppin' to 0.5 feet. That means we've got some good movement in the water, which should get them fish bitin'. Fish activity's been pretty hot lately, especially with the redfish and speckled trout. Folks have been pullin' in some nice catches around the Chef Menteur Pass and Lake Borgne. I've heard tell of a few lucky anglers landin' some solid 5-pounders. For you lure enthusiasts out there, I'd recommend tossin' some paddletails or gold spoons. The Z-Man DarterZ and MirrOlure Lil' John have been workin' wonders on them specks. For the reds, you can't go wrong with a Johnson Silver Minnow spoon in gold or copper. If you're more of a live bait kinda angler, shrimp is always a safe bet. Them fish can't resist a nice, juicy shrimp dancin' on the end of your line. Cut bait's been producin' too, especially for the bigger reds. Now, for them hot spots. I'd suggest y'all try your luck around the Rigolets or head out to the Chandeleur Islands if you're feelin' adventurous.

The sun's coming up at 7:02 AM and setting at 7:13 PM, giving us a good long day on the water. Weather's looking mighty fine - partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid-70s. Perfect day to wet a line! Tides are running low today. We've got a low tide around 12:30 PM, so plan accordingly. The tidal coefficient is on the lower side at 35, meaning we won't see too much water movement. But don't let that discourage you - the fish are still biting! Speaking of fish, the redfish and speckled trout have been on fire lately. Anglers have been hauling in good numbers of both species, with some nice-sized ones in the mix. We're talking 20-30 inch reds and trout in the 2-3 pound range. There's also been reports of some decent flounder catches for those willing to put in the work. For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a soft plastic paddletail in a natural shrimp color. The Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ in the "Opening Night" color has been absolutely slaying them. If you're more of a live bait person, shrimp under a popping cork is always a solid choice. As for hot spots, the Biloxi Marsh has been producing well, especially around the outer islands. Closer to home, the shorelines of Lake Borgne have been holding good numbers of fish. Don't overlook the MRGO rocks either - there's been some big trout hanging around there. Remember, it's all about matching the hatch and presenting your bait naturally. Take your time, work those areas thoroughly, and you'll be putting fish in the boat in no time. That's all for now, folks. Get out there and tight lines! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

It's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the Gulf, with temperatures in the mid-70s and light winds out of the southeast. Sunrise was at 7:02 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 7:13 PM. Tides are running pretty normal today. We've got a low tide at 12:10 PM, measuring about -0.06 feet, and a high tide coming in late tonight around 12:40 AM, hitting about 0.38 feet. Not a huge swing, but enough to get some water moving. Fish activity has been picking up lately with the warmer weather. We're seeing good numbers of speckled trout and redfish in Lake Pontchartrain and along the coast. Folks have been having luck with soft plastics, particularly paddletails in pearl or chartreuse colors. Don't forget about those gold spoons either – they're still killer for reds. Offshore, the amberjack bite has been hot. Several boats came in yesterday with their limits, mostly caught on live bait and deep-diving plugs. We're also hearing reports of some nice cobia showing up around the oil rigs. For bait, live shrimp is always a good bet this time of year. If you're heading offshore, grab some cigar minnows or blue runners. For artificial lures, I'd recommend stocking up on some 1/4 oz jigheads and your favorite soft plastics. The Z-Man PaddlerZ have been working well lately. As for hot spots, check out the Seabrook Bridge area for some nice trout action. If you're looking to get into some reds, head over to the Shell Beach area – they've been thick there lately. Remember, folks, the fish are out there and they're hungry. Get out on the water, stay safe, and tight lines to all of y'all! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Let's start with the tides - we've got a low tide at 11:21 AM coming in at 0.3 feet, followed by a high tide at 10:46 PM hitting 0.6 feet. Sunrise was at 7:06 AM and we'll see sunset at 7:11 PM. Weather-wise, it's looking mighty fine with mostly sunny skies and a high near 75°F. Winds are light out of the northeast at 5-10 mph. Now for the good stuff - the fish have been biting like crazy lately! Redfish and speckled trout are really fired up in the marsh right now. We're seeing lots of slot reds in the 18-27 inch range, with some bulls mixed in. The trout have been averaging 2-3 pounds with a few gators over 5 pounds coming to the boat. For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a popping cork rigged with a soft plastic shrimp. The Matrix Shad in Opening Night color has been absolutely slaying them. If you're looking for some topwater action, try a Skitter Walk or She Dog early in the morning. Live bait is always a good bet too. Live shrimp under a popping cork is hard to beat, and if you can get your hands on some live croakers, the big trout can't resist 'em. For you offshore folks, the tuna bite has been on fire about 60 miles out. Yellowfin in the 60-80 pound class have been crushing diamond jigs and live hardtails. As for hot spots, I'd recommend hitting the rocks along the MRGO for some great redfish action. The deep holes in Lake Pontchartrain near the trestle have been holding some nice trout too. That's all I've got for now, folks. Remember to practice catch and release when you can, and tight lines to all y'all out there! This is Artificial Lure, signing off.

Sunrise today was at 7:09 AM and we're looking at sunset around 7:10 PM, giving us a full day on the water. Weather-wise, we're seeing partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the mid-70s. Winds are light and variable, making for some smooth sailing out there. As for tides, we've got a low tide at 9:10 AM and a high coming in at 9:43 PM. That incoming tide should really get the fish moving! Speaking of fish, the action has been hot lately! Redfish have been tearing it up in the marshes and along the coast. Anglers have been having great luck with gold spoons and paddletail soft plastics in the Slam Shady color. Don't forget to work those points and cuts in the marsh grass. Speckled trout are starting to show up in good numbers too. They've been hitting on suspending twitch baits like the MirrOlure MirrOdine in the mullet pattern. Try working them slowly over oyster reefs and along drop-offs. For you offshore folks, the tuna bite has been solid about 40 miles out. Yellowfin in the 60-80 pound range have been crushing butterfly jigs and live hardtails. A few wahoo have been mixed in too, so don't forget to drag a few high-speed lures while you're out there. As for hot spots, the Rigolets has been producing some nice trout and reds. Another area to check out is the marsh around Delacroix - the redfish have been stacked up thick in there. For bait, live shrimp are always a good bet this time of year. If you're looking to throw artificials, those paddletails and gold spoons I mentioned earlier are hard to beat.

Fish activity has been picking up lately as the waters warm up. Redfish and speckled trout have been biting well in the marsh areas and along the coast. We've been seeing good numbers of slot-sized reds, with a few bulls mixed in. Trout have been running on the smaller side, but they're plentiful. For lures, I've had great luck with gold spoons and paddletail soft plastics. The Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ in the coppertruse color has been absolutely killer.

High tide rolls in later at 4:05 PM, also around 0.6 feet. Not a huge swing, but enough movement to get the fish active. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid-60s. Winds are light from the southeast at 5-10 mph. Perfect conditions for getting out on the water. Sunrise was at 7:09 AM and sunset will be at 7:09 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight. Now for the good stuff - the fish! Redfish have been biting like crazy lately, especially around the marsh edges and oyster reefs. Folks have been having luck with gold spoons and soft plastics in shrimp patterns. Speckled trout are starting to show up in bigger numbers too. Try working topwater lures early in the morning or suspending twitch baits in deeper channels. For you offshore anglers, the tuna bite has been hot about 40 miles out. Yellowfin in the 60-80 pound range have been common. Trolling ballyhoo or chunking has been the ticket. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out Lake Borgne or the MRGO for some inshore action. The rigs south of Grand Isle have been producing if you're looking to head offshore. Bait-wise, live shrimp are always a good bet this time of year. But if you're throwing artificials, I'd suggest packing some paddletails in white or chartreuse, and maybe a few topwater walkers for those early morning trout. That's all I've got for now, folks.

Redfish and speckled trout have been the stars of the show, with good numbers being caught in Lake Pontchartrain and along the coastal marshes. We've also seen some nice flounder and sheepshead in the mix. For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a soft plastic paddletail in chartreuse or white. The Z-Man MinnowZ has been absolutely crushing it lately. If you're more of a live bait person, shrimp under a popping cork is always a solid choice round these parts. As for hot spots, I'd recommend giving the Seabrook Bridge area a shot for some nice trout action. The rocks along the Causeway have also been producing well for reds and sheepshead. If you're looking to venture out a bit further, the rigs just off the coast have been holding some nice mangrove snapper and the occasional cobia.

That incoming tide in the morning should get the fish moving, so plan accordingly. Folks have been reporting some good action lately. Redfish are biting well in the marshes, with some nice slot-sized fish being caught. Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too, especially around the outer bays and along the coast. For you offshore anglers, there's been a decent yellowfin tuna bite about 40 miles out. A few boats even managed to hook into some early season cobia. As for what's working, live shrimp is always a good bet this time of year. But if you're throwing artificials, gold spoons and soft plastics in natural colors have been producing. For the specks, try suspending twitch baits or soft plastics under a popping cork. If you're heading out, I'd recommend checking out Lake Borgne or the Biloxi Marsh for some inshore action. The MRGO rocks have been holding some nice trout too. For you offshore folks, the lumps southeast of Venice have been hot for tuna. Remember, the fish are there, you just gotta outsmart 'em.

Perfect conditions for hitting the water, if you ask me. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide at 7:38 AM measuring 0.22 feet, and a low tide at 7:06 PM at 0.0 feet. That incoming tide in the morning should get the fish moving, so plan accordingly. Folks have been reporting some good action lately. Redfish are biting well in the marshes, with some nice slot-sized fish being caught. Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too, especially around the outer bays and along the coast. For you offshore anglers, there's been a decent yellowfin tuna bite about 40 miles out. A few boats even managed to hook into some early season cobia. As for what's working, live shrimp is always a good bet this time of year. But if you're throwing artificials, gold spoons and soft plastics in natural colors have been producing. For the specks, try suspending twitch baits or soft plastics under a popping cork. If you're heading out, I'd recommend checking out Lake Borgne or the Biloxi Marsh for some inshore action. The MRGO rocks have been holding some nice trout too. For you offshore folks, the lumps southeast of Venice have been hot for tuna. Remember, the fish are there, you just gotta outsmart 'em. Tight lines, y'all, and don't forget to send me your catch photos!

Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a crawfish boil lately! First off, the tides are looking good today. We've got a high tide coming in at 6:15 AM and a low tide at 5:54 PM. The sun's gonna peek out at 6:15 AM and call it quits around 7:07 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines. Weather-wise, we're looking at a mild day with temps in the mid-70s and a light breeze from the southeast. Perfect conditions for hitting the water, if you ask me. Now, let's talk fish. The redfish have been on fire lately, especially around the oyster reefs and marsh edges. Folks have been hauling in some nice bulls in the 20-30 inch range. Speckled trout are starting to show up in good numbers too, with some real gators being caught in the deeper channels. For you sheepshead lovers, they're still hanging around the pilings and structures, though they might start thinning out as the water warms up. And don't forget about the black drum - they've been putting up a good fight in the deeper holes. As for lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon for those reds. They've been hitting them like they owe 'em money. For the specks, try a soft plastic under a popping cork - the Matrix Shad in the Shrimp Creole color has been working wonders. If you're after sheepshead, live shrimp or fiddler crabs are your best bet. For you live bait enthusiasts, shrimp and croakers have been producing well across the board. Just make sure you've got plenty, 'cause the bite's been strong. Now, if you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend giving the MRGO rocks a shot for some big reds and black drum. The Lake Pontchartrain bridges have been holding some nice trout too. And if you're feeling adventurous, head out to the rigs for some serious action. Remember, folks, the fish are out there and they're hungry. So grab your gear, hit the water, and let's make some memories. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing y'all tight lines!

This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI. 150 https://player.megaphone.fm/NPTNI6058335757 Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around New Orleans, as of February 12, 2025. First off, let's talk about the conditions. Today, we're looking at a relatively calm day with the sun rising at about 6:30 AM and setting at 5:45 PM, giving us around 11 hours of daylight. The tidal coefficient is moderate, indicating average tidal ranges and currents. For New Orleans, the tide times are as follows: high tide at 6:00 AM with 0.6 ft, low tide at 12:36 PM with 0.3 ft, high tide at 6:54 PM with 0.5 ft, and low tide at 18:36 PM with 0.3 ft. Given the frequent fronts and cool water this time of year, fish activity can be a bit unpredictable, but there are still some great opportunities. For inshore fishing, trout and redfish are your best bets in shallow waters. You can also find them, along with blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano, and flounder, on deep grass flats. Look for sheepshead, flounder, and reds around docks, especially during the warmer parts of the day. If you're targeting snook, night fishing around lighted docks in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) can be productive, especially if you're using small white flies like the Grassett Snook Minnow, DOA Shrimp, or DOA Tiny TerrorEyz. Snook are temperature-sensitive, so avoid targeting them after strong fronts when water temperatures dip below 60 degrees. For other species, Spanish mackerel and cobia might start showing up in the coastal gulf towards the end of the month as the water warms up. Look for Spanish mackerel on the surface or in passes, and cobia around buoys, channel markers, and crab trap floats. In terms of lures, essential soft plastics like the DOA 5.5" jerkbait, MirroLure Provoker, and Lil John are must-haves. Topwater lures such as the MirroLure Top Dog/Top Pup and Heddon Zara Spook can also be very effective. For suspending baits, the MirroLure Mirrodine is a good choice, and for spoons, the Johnson Silver Minnow (gold) and Eppinger Rex (black) are reliable options. For bait, shrimp, pinfish, mud minnows, and threadfin herring are highly effective. Shrimp are versatile and work well for redfish, trout, and snook. Mud minnows are durable and effective in shallow, murky waters, while threadfin herring are highly effective for snook, especially during snook season. Hot spots for today include the deep grass flats around Lake Pontchartrain and the ICW near lighted docks. The edges of bars and potholes in these areas can be particularly productive for flounder and other species. If you're looking for a blustery day alternative, fishing in rivers, creeks, or canals can provide some shelter and good action. Remember, February can be a tough month due to the cool water and frequent fronts, so timing your fishing trips with favorable weather and tides is crucial. If you can't get out early, consider fishing later in the day when it's warmer.

First off, let's talk about the tides. According to the tide charts, today we've got a high tide at 04:24 with a tidal height of 0.6 feet, and a low tide at 16:40 with a height of 0.2 feet. These gentle tides should provide some good conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing. The weather is looking decent, with mild temperatures and minimal fog, which is a plus for visibility and navigation. Sunrise was at around 06:30, and sunset will be at about 17:30, giving us a good window for fishing. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. In the Gulf of Mexico, especially around New Orleans, we're seeing a lot of action on the bottom fishing front. Anglers are having steady success on rock ledges and artificial reefs about 8 to 10 miles out. Species like mangrove snapper, triggerfish, grunts, sheepshead, porgies, and hogfish are keeping rods busy. For those venturing a bit deeper, patches of flat limestone rock in 60 to 90 feet of water are producing red grouper, vermilion snapper, porgies, and lane snapper. If you're targeting yellowtail snapper or amberjack, wrecks or artificial reefs in about 80 feet or deeper are your best bets, though remember to check the current regulations for amberjack catch-and-release dates. When it comes to bait, live options are always a winner. Shrimp, pinfish, mud minnows, and threadfin herring are top choices. Shrimp are versatile and work well for redfish, trout, and snook, while pinfish are ideal for larger inshore and offshore species. Mud minnows are durable and effective in shallow, murky waters, and threadfin herring are highly effective for snook, especially during their season. For artificial lures, matching your tackle to the bait and target species is key. For inshore fishing, soft plastics like Cajun pepper or MirrOlure Little John/XLs in golden bream, watermelon gold glitter, or copper glitter have been producing great bites on redfish and trout. For offshore, jigs and flukes rigged with 1/4 to 1/8 ounce jig heads can be very effective. Hot spots to consider include the rock ledges and artificial reefs around 8 to 10 miles out into the Gulf. The jetties and structures near the mouth of the Mississippi River are also productive, especially for species like sheepshead and mangrove snapper. In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With the right bait and tackle, you should be able to catch a variety of species. Just remember to check those tide times and weather updates to optimize your fishing trip.

First off, let's talk about the tides. As of today, February 9, 2025, we're looking at a high tide at 03:41 with a tidal height of 0.6 feet, and a low tide at 15:29 with a height of 0.2 feet. These gentle tides should provide some great opportunities for fishing in the shallower waters and around the structures[2]. The weather is cooperating nicely, with temperatures in the mid-50s to low 60s, which is perfect for getting out on the water. Sunrise was at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be around 5:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some fish. Fish activity has been quite good in the past week. In the waters around New Orleans, anglers have been catching a variety of species. Speckled trout, redfish, and black drum are among the most common catches. The trout have been moving into shallower areas as the water warms up, making them more accessible to anglers. Live shrimp and soft plastics like Cajun pepper or your favorite lures have been working well for trout[1][4]. For redfish, cut mullet and live shrimp are the go-to baits. These fish are often found in the flats and around oyster reefs, where they feed on small crustaceans and baitfish. Black drum, on the other hand, are being caught using live or dead shrimp, especially around the jetties and rock structures[1]. If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out the jetties and the Texas City Dike, although these are a bit further west. However, for those closer to New Orleans, the oyster reefs in Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes around Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge are excellent places to try your luck. In terms of lures, the Buggs tied jigs, specifically the Flats Buggs with double bunny tails or curl tails, have been proving deadly for redfish in the shallow flats. These lures land softly and reduce snags, making them ideal for sight casting in calm conditions[3]. For those targeting trout, using live shrimp under popping corks or free-lined along rocks can be very effective. If you prefer artificial lures, the WAC ATTACK's WACky Fluke in peppered pumpkin color has been catching some nice trout in the deeper channels and drains[1]. So, grab your gear, check the weather one last time, and get out there. The fish are biting, and with the right bait and lures, you're bound to have a great day on the water.

First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, we're looking at a relatively calm day, which is perfect for hitting the waters. According to the tidal reports, we have a high tide at 2:55 AM with a tidal height of 0.5 feet, and the low tide is at 14:23 PM with a height of 0.2 feet[2]. Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving us a good 11 hours of daylight to get out there and catch some fish. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is shaping up to be an excellent month for both offshore and inshore fishing. Offshore, the Sailfish bite is on daily as we approach their spawn time, and these magnificent sport fish are providing some thrilling action. Kingfish, particularly the big "Smoker" Kingfish, are also abundant, offering excellent action both well offshore and occasionally nearer the reef. The Mackerel family, including quality Cero and Spanish Mackerel, are here in huge numbers. Black Fin Tuna and occasional bursts of Mahi action are also making appearances[1]. Inshore, trout and redfish are good shallow water options this month. You may also find trout along with blues, Spanish mackerel, pompano, and flounder on deep grass flats. Look for sheepshead, flounder, and reds around docks. Night snook fishing around lighted docks in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) can be a good option if the water temperatures are favorable[4]. For those preferring reef and wreck fishing, February remains a good time. Amberjack and Cobia are active, and the Snapper family continues to produce well, although Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail Snapper are starting to slow down briefly but will pick up again in March. Keep in mind that the Grouper season is closed in Monroe County until May[1]. When it comes to lures and bait, soft plastic jerkbaits and paddle tail swimbaits are highly effective for inshore species like redfish, snook, and tarpon. For offshore fishing, spoons and jigs that mimic baitfish like mullet and sardines work wonders. If you're targeting tarpon, large, strong lures such as the Rapala X-Rap Magnum are your best bet. For surf fishing, the Kastmaster spoon by Acme Tackle Co. is a top choice due to its aerodynamics and effectiveness in mimicking baitfish[1]. Live baits are also very effective in these waters. Shrimp, pinfish, mud minnows, and threadfin herring are versatile and highly effective for various species. Shrimp and threadfin herring are particularly good for snook, while pinfish and mud minnows can attract larger inshore and offshore species[3]. Hot spots for today include the waters around the Mississippi River Delta, where the mix of fresh and saltwater creates a rich habitat for a variety of fish. The reef areas near the Chandeleur Islands are also prime spo This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, we're looking at a relatively calm day with the winds having died down, making it perfect for hitting the waters. According to the tidal reports, we have a high tide at 02:01 AM with a tidal height of 0.5 feet, and the low tide is at 13:26 PM with a tidal height of 0.1 feet. These tidal movements are significant, and fish are likely to be active, especially during the changing tides. Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving us a good 11 hours of daylight to get out there and catch some fish. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is shaping up to be an excellent month for offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.

Kingfish, particularly the big "Smoker" Kingfish, are also abundant, offering excellent action both well offshore and occasionally nearer the reef. The Mackerel family, including quality Cero and Spanish Mackerel, are here in huge numbers. Black Fin Tuna are another highlight, known for their chaotic and action-packed behavior when they show up in schools. We're also seeing solitary Wahoo and occasional bursts of Mahi action, which always make for a welcome bonus. For those preferring reef and wreck fishing, February remains a good time. Amberjack and Cobia are active, and the Snapper family continues to produce well. Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail Snapper are starting to slow down briefly but will pick up again in March. However, keep in mind that the Grouper season is closed in some areas until May, so we'll have to wait a bit for those. Near shore, the "Patch Reefs" are a great option, offering a mix of backcountry and reef & wreck type action in calmer waters. These natural formations about 6 to 8 miles offshore are protected from the open sea and provide a comfortable fishing experience with a variety of fish species. When it comes to lures and bait, soft plastic jerkbaits and paddle tail swimbaits are highly effective for inshore species like redfish, snook, and tarpon.

For surf fishing, the Kastmaster spoon by Acme Tackle Co. is a top choice due to its aerodynamics and effectiveness in mimicking baitfish. Live bait is also a great option, especially hardtails (blue runners), which are easy to catch around oil rigs and wrecks. These hardy baitfish are durable and attract a wide range of target species, from wahoo and tuna to marlin and sailfish.

Fri, 07 Feb 2025 09:00:42 -0000 full Inception Point AI Hey there, fellow anglers It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for February 7th, 2025, in and around the Gulf of Mexico, particularly focusing on the New Orleans area. First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. Today, we're looking at a relatively calm day with the winds having died down, making it perfect for hitting the waters. According to the tidal reports, we have a high tide at 02:01 AM with a tidal height of 0.5 feet, and the low tide is at 13:26 PM with a tidal height of 0.1 feet. These tidal movements are significant, and fish are likely to be active, especially during the changing tides. Sunrise today is at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:43 PM, giving us a good 11 hours of daylight to get out there and catch some fish. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is shaping up to be an excellent month for offshore fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. The Sailfish bite is on daily as we approach their spawn time, and these magnificent sport fish are providing some thrilling action. Kingfish, particularly the big "Smoker" Kingfish, are also abundant, offering excellent action both well offshore and occasionally nearer the reef. The Mackerel family, including quality Cero and Spanish Mackerel, are here in huge numbers. Black Fin Tuna are another highlight, known for their chaotic and action-packed behavior when they show up in schools. We're also seeing solitary Wahoo and occasional bursts of Mahi action, which always make for a welcome bonus. For those preferring reef and wreck fishing, February remains a good time. Amberjack and Cobia are active, and the Snapper family continues to produce well. Mutton Snapper and Yellowtail Snapper are starting to slow down briefly but will pick up again in March. However, keep in mind that the Grouper season is closed in some areas until May, so we'll have to wait a bit for those. Near shore, the "Patch Reefs" are a great option, offering a mix of backcountry and reef & wreck type action in calmer waters. These natural formations about 6 to 8 miles offshore are protected from the open sea and provide a comfortable fishing experience with a variety of fish species. When it comes to lures and bait, soft plastic jerkbaits and paddle tail swimbaits are highly effective for inshore species like redfish, snook, and tarpon. For offshore fishing, spoons and jigs that mimic baitfish like mullet and sardines work wonders. If you're targeting tarpon, large, strong lures such as the Rapala X-Rap Magnum are your best bet.

First off, let's talk about the conditions. As of today, February 5th, 2025, the tide times are looking pretty favorable. We've got a low tide at 11:52 AM with a height of 0.03 feet, and the next high tide is at 00:32 tomorrow morning, but for those planning an afternoon trip, you'll have a high tide at 20:45 tonight with a height of 0.09 feet[2]. The weather is mild, with temperatures in the mid-60s, which is a welcome change after the recent cold fronts. Sunrise was at 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:34 PM, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February is shaping up to be an excellent month for fishing in our waters. Offshore, the Sailfish bite is on daily as we move closer to their spawn time. Big "Smoker" Kingfish are providing excellent action well offshore and occasionally nearer the reef. The Mackerel family, including quality size Cero and Spanish Mackerel, are here in huge numbers. Black Fin Tuna are also active, and when a school shows up, it can be chaotic and exhilarating. Wahoo and Mahi are also making appearances, though the Mahi action can be a bit sporadic but always a welcome bonus[1]. On the reef and wreck sites, Amberjack fishing remains good for February, and Cobia action is excellent. The Snapper family is producing well, with Mutton Snapper starting to show up. While Yellowtail and Mangrove Snapper numbers are slowing down briefly, they will improve significantly in March. Grouper, however, are off-limits until May in Monroe County, so we're focusing on other species[1]. Near shore, the "Patch Reefs" are a great spot, offering calmer waters and a variety of fish species. These areas are perfect for targeting Giant Barracuda and several species of Sharks. Our backcountry charters are also producing well, with schooling species like Trout, Pompano, Jacks, Lady Fish, Blue Runners, Grunts, and Porgies. While Tarpon are not as active this time of year, there's always a chance for a bonus catch[1]. For bait, live options are always a winner. Shrimp are versatile and effective for redfish, trout, and snook. Pinfish are ideal for larger inshore and offshore species. Mud Minnows are durable and work well in shallow, murky waters. Threadfin Herring are highly effective for snook, especially during their season[3]. If you prefer artificial lures, there are several options that work well. For surf fishing, paddle tail lures like the Berkeley Chappo 105 in mullet color are great for exciting fish. Twitch baits such as the Mirror Lure Catch 2000 in blue and chartreuse are fantastic for species like Spanish Mackerel, redfish, and snook. Imitation shrimp lures, like the DOA shrimp in red flake, are also very effective[4].

First off, let's talk about the tides. As of today, January 31, 2025, the high tide is at 08:46 with a tidal height of 0.19 feet, and the low tide is at 21:21 with a height of 0.11 feet. These gentle tides should make for some great fishing conditions. The weather is looking pretty favorable, with mild temperatures and light winds, making it an ideal day to get out on the water. Sunrise was at around 06:53, and sunset will be at about 17:23, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some big ones. Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, the waters around New Orleans have been bustling with a variety of species. For recreational anglers, species like Vermilion snapper, Lane snapper, and Spanish Mackerel have been quite active. According to the latest landings data, Vermilion snapper landings are at about 48,750 pounds, and Spanish Mackerel landings are at around 887,101 pounds for the current fishing year[1][5]. If you're targeting these species, live bait is often the way to go. Hardtails, also known as blue runners, are among the best baitfish you can use in the Gulf. They're easy to catch around offshore oil and gas platforms, wrecks, and reefs, and they last a long time in the livewell. For species like cobia and king mackerel, hardtails are almost unbeatable[3]. However, if you prefer artificial lures, there are some great options too. For snappers and groupers, jigs and soft plastic baits can be very effective. Crankbaits and spoons can also work well for species like Spanish Mackerel and king mackerel. The key is to mimic the natural movement of prey, so make sure you're using the right technique to entice those bites[4]. For some hot spots, I recommend checking out the offshore oil rigs and wrecks. These areas are known for attracting a wide range of fish, from snappers and groupers to bigger game fish like cobia and king mackerel. Another great spot is the reefs, particularly the shallow water grouper reefs, which are open year-round except for a seasonal closure from February 1 to March 31 in certain areas[1][5]. In summary, today is shaping up to be a fantastic day for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. With the right bait or lures and knowledge of the best spots, you're likely to bring home a nice catch.

Here’s what you need to know: ### Tidal Report The tides are a bit complex in the Gulf, especially with the wind factors, but for today, the outgoing tide is expected to be stronger due to the wind pushing against the gravitational pull. According to the tide tables, the low tide is around 9:59 AM, and the high tide will be at 4:11 PM. Be prepared for stronger currents during the outgoing tide, which can be beneficial for certain species[4]. ### Weather and Daylight Sunrise was at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:31 PM, giving us about 10 hours and 38 minutes of daylight. The weather is relatively calm, with mild winds, making it a good day to get out on the water[2]. ### Fish Activity Yesterday’s landings indicate that several species are active. For recreational anglers, Yellowtail Snapper were quite active, with landings totaling 35,679 pounds for the season so far. Spanish Mackerel are also biting, with 516,660 pounds caught recreationally since April 1, 2024[1]. ### Best Lures and Bait For targeting species like Red Snapper, Cobia, and King Mackerel, live bait is your best bet. Hardtails (blue runners) are highly recommended due to their durability and attractiveness to a wide range of gamefish. Small live blue crabs can also work well for Cobia. If you prefer lures, silver spoons about 8 to 10 feet deep on planers can catch Bluefish and other species[3]. ### Hot Spots Offshore oil and gas platforms, wrecks, and reefs are excellent spots to find baitfish and larger gamefish. The waters around these structures are known to attract species like Wahoo, Dorado, Tuna, and even Marlin. For Yellowtail Snapper, try the areas around the continental shelf where the water drops off significantly. Overall, it's a good day to head out, especially during the morning and late afternoon when the tides are favorable. Keep an eye on the wind and adjust your fishing strategy accordingly.

Here’s what you need to know: ### Tidal Report As of today, the tide times for South Pass, Louisiana, are as follows: low tide at 2:18 AM with 2.0 ft and another low tide at 2:40 PM with 0.1 ft. The sun rises at 6:46 AM and sets at 6:49 PM[5]. ### Weather The weather is still recovering from the winter storm that brought blizzard conditions and snow to New Orleans. While the snow has cleared, the waters are still affected by the cold front. Expect cooler temperatures and potentially choppy waters due to the lingering effects of the storm[2]. ### Fish Activity Despite the challenging weather, fish activity remains decent. Redfish, Trout, and Sheepshead are active in the area. The cold front has pushed these species into shallower waters where they seek warmer spots. Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of Redfish and Trout, particularly in areas with some cover like oyster beds and marshy edges[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For Redfish, use lures like gold spoons or soft plastic jigs in shades of white or chartreuse. For Trout, try using live bait such as shrimp or minnows, or lures like MirrOlure or Bomber Saltwater Grade. Sheepshead are best caught using live oysters or fiddler crabs[4]. ### Hot Spots Two hot spots to consider are the oyster beds near the South Pass and the marshy areas around the Chandeleur Islands. These areas provide the necessary cover and warmth for the fish to congregate. In summary, while the weather is still a bit rough, the fish are active and can be caught with the right lures and bait. Be prepared for cooler temperatures and potentially choppy waters, but the fishing can be rewarding if you know where to look.

Expect mild daytime temperatures around 61°F with about 5 hours of sunshine. Nighttime temperatures will dip to around 43°F, so make sure to pack accordingly. There's a moderate chance of rainfall, but it shouldn't dampen your fishing plans too much. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset is at 5:24 PM. Tides are relatively mild today; you can expect a high tide at 03:07 with a tidal height of 0.08m and a low tide at 14:09 with a tidal height of 0m[2]. Fish activity has been high despite the winter weather. Yesterday saw good catches of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. Redfish were active in the shallower waters and near drop-offs, while speckled trout and sheepshead were found in areas with good structure like oyster banks and deeper drop-offs[1][4]. For lures, topwater lures are highly effective in this region. Walk the dog type stick baits, known as spooks, and poppers & chuggers are excellent choices. These lures simulate prey on the surface, attracting bigger fish from deeper waters. Crankbaits are also a good option, especially if you know how deep the bait needs to swim. Choose crankbaits with the right bill length to match the depth of the water you're fishing in[1]. For hot spots, consider the areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes of Delacroix. These areas are known for their abundant fish populations and good structure. Look for flooded grass at high tide and banks littered with oysters at low tide. The Rigolets and Chef Pass are also promising spots, especially during mild tidal conditions[1]. In summary, today's fishing conditions look promising with mild tides, good fish activity, and plenty of sunshine. Use the right lures, pay attention to the tides, and you should have a successful day on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Fish activity has been high despite the winter weather. Yesterday saw good catches of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. Redfish were active in the shallower waters and near drop-offs, while speckled trout and sheepshead were found in areas with good structure like oyster banks and deeper drop-offs[1][4]. For lures, topwater lures are highly effective in this region. Walk the dog type stick baits, known as spooks, and poppers & chuggers are excellent choices. These lures simulate prey on the surface, attracting bigger fish from deeper waters. Crankbaits are also a good option, especially if you know how deep the bait needs to swim. Choose crankbaits with the right bill length to match the depth of the water you're fishing in[1]. For hot spots, consider the areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes of Delacroix. These areas are known for their abundant fish populations and good structure. Look for flooded grass at high tide and banks littered with oysters at low tide. The Rigolets and Chef Pass are also promising spots, especially during mild tidal conditions[1]. In summary, today's fishing conditions look promising with mild tides, good fish activity, and plenty of sunshine. Use the right lures, pay attention to the tides, and you should have a successful day on the water.

According to the tidal reports, we're seeing a tidal coefficient that's relatively high, but it's dropping throughout the day. This means you can expect some significant tidal movements, especially around the high and low tide marks. Today, the high tide is expected later in the morning, and the low tide will be in the late afternoon[2]. Weather-wise, it's been a bit windy lately, but that's not uncommon for this time of year. Make sure to check the latest weather forecast before you head out, as winds can affect the fishing conditions significantly[1]. Sunrise today is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:30 PM, giving you a good 10 hours of daylight to get out there and catch some fish[2]. Fish activity has been robust over the past few days. Yesterday saw a lot of action, with anglers reporting good catches of spotted trout, white trout, and even some bull reds. The schools of bull reds and jacks have been particularly active, often schooling by the tens and hundreds[1][5]. For the best results, you'll want to use lures and baits that match the current conditions. Live baits like shrimp, mud minnows, and pinfish are always a good choice. Shrimp are versatile and work well for redfish, trout, and snook, while mud minnows are durable and effective in shallow, murky waters. Pinfish are ideal for larger inshore and offshore species[3]. Some hot spots to consider include the marsh areas around the Mississippi Delta and the waters near the New Canal Station. These areas tend to have a mix of shallow and deeper waters, which can attract a variety of fish species[1][5]. So, gear up with the right tackle and bait, keep an eye on those tides and the weather, and you should be in for a great day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans.

According to the latest marine forecast, you can expect fresh to strong southwest winds over the northern and western Gulf, with seas ranging from 4 to 6 feet[5]. Sunrise today is at 6:55 AM, and sunset will be at 5:20 PM, giving you about 10 hours and 25 minutes of daylight[2]. Tides are a bit complex in the Gulf, especially with the current wind conditions. However, generally, you can expect the outgoing tide to have a stronger current, especially if the wind is pushing against it. Today, with northeast winds prevailing, the incoming tide might be weaker than usual, but still worth fishing[4]. Fish activity has been high despite the winter weather. Yesterday saw good catches of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. Redfish were particularly active, making them a prime target for today[1]. For lures and bait, live bait is always a winner in the Gulf. Hardtails (blue runners) are among the best baitfish you can use, as they are durable and attract a wide range of species including red snapper, cobia, and king mackerel. Small live blue crabs can also be effective for catching cobia[3]. As for hot spots, consider fishing around offshore oil and gas platforms, wrecks, and reefs. These areas tend to attract a variety of gamefish. Specifically, the waters around Stetson Bank and the Flower Garden Bank Marine Sanctuary are known for their rich marine life and can be great places to catch red snapper, kings, and other species[3][5].

Wind can make the outgoing tides stronger and the incoming tides weaker, so plan accordingly[3]. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM and sunset is at 5:18 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water. Fish activity has been good lately, with reports of abundant speckled trout, redfish, and sheepshead. Yesterday saw some decent catches, especially around the prime spots like the oyster beds and the marshy areas near Lake Pontchartrain. For lures, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and shrimp imitations are working well for speckled trout and redfish. For sheepshead, try using live or frozen shrimp, as they are particularly attracted to these baits[1][4]. If you're looking for hot spots, consider the areas around the Mississippi River Delta and the oyster beds near Chandeleur Islands. These spots tend to hold a lot of fish, especially during the changing tides. Remember, the tidal changes can significantly affect fish activity, so plan your trip around these times for the best results.

First off, let's look at the tides. Today's high tide is at 10:58 AM with a height of -0.03 feet, and the low tide is at 9:19 PM with a height of -0.11 feet. These mild tides are typical for our area and create a great environment for inshore fishing[1][2]. The weather is looking decent, with north winds at 10 to 15 knots and waves around 2 feet. There's a slight chance of showers in the morning, but it should clear up as the day progresses. Winds might pick up in the evening, but it shouldn't hinder your fishing plans significantly[1]. Sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset is at 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water. Yesterday saw a good amount of activity from redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. These species thrive in Louisiana's mild winter conditions. The soft, once-a-day tide in our area creates an excellent breeding ground for inshore species, so you can expect to find these fish in good numbers[1]. For lures and bait, live or artificial shrimp, jigs, and soft plastics are usually effective for redfish and speckled trout. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs or oysters can be irresistible[4]. If you're looking for hot spots, head over to the MRGO Rocks or the junctions of water around Lake Pontchartrain. These areas tend to have moving water even during mild tides, which can attract fish. If there's any wind, look for wind-blown points as these can create tidelines that fish often bite at[1]. Overall, it's shaping up to be a good day for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. Just keep an eye on the weather and adjust your fishing spots accordingly.

Sunrise today is at 6:56 AM, and sunset will be at 5:12 PM, giving you a decent window for fishing[5]. Tide-wise, you're looking at a high tide around 9:30 AM and a low tide at 3:30 PM. These tidal changes can significantly affect fish activity, so plan your trip accordingly[3]. Fishing has been hot in South Louisiana lately. Yesterday saw a lot of action with bull reds and jacks schooling in large numbers. You can expect to catch these fish, along with some speckled trout and black drum, particularly in areas like the Mississippi River Delta and the marshes around Lake Pontchartrain[4]. For lures, live shrimp and soft plastics have been working wonders. Bull reds and jacks are schooling by the tens and hundreds, so using suspending baits or shrimp imitation baits can be very effective. For speckled trout, focus on feeder channels and the edges of the intercoastal using live shrimp or gulp baits[4]. If you're targeting black drum, dead or live shrimp on rock flats have been producing good results. Sheepshead are also biting well on live shrimp around the jetties and old causeways. Hot spots include the jetties at the mouth of the Mississippi River and the marshy areas around Venice. The Lake Pontchartrain area is also producing some great catches, especially during the changing tides.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect: ### Tidal Report We're dealing with a diurnal tide, typical for Louisiana's coast, which means the water level rises and falls once in a lunar day. Today, the tide is relatively mild, with minimal changes in water levels. This consistent tide pattern is favorable for inshore species like speckled trout and redfish[4]. ### Weather and Daylight The sunrise today is at 6:55 AM, and the sunset is at 5:10 PM, giving us about 10 hours and 13 minutes of daylight. The winter solstice has just passed, so the days are still relatively short, but the clear skies and mild winter weather make for good fishing conditions[2]. ### Fish Activity Yesterday's fishing was excellent, with a good number of speckled trout, white trout, and redfish caught. The cooler waters have pushed these fish into more predictable patterns, often congregating around structure like oyster beds, marsh edges, and oil rigs[1]. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Speckled trout and redfish were the stars of the show, with several anglers reporting catches in the 2-5 pound range. White trout were also plentiful, often caught in the same areas as the speckled trout. ### Best Lures and Bait For speckled trout and redfish, live bait such as hardtails (blue runners) and small live blue crabs are highly effective. These baits are durable and can withstand the cooler waters. If you prefer lures, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and spoons are good alternatives. For those targeting larger species like king mackerel and cobia, hardtails are almost unbeatable[3]. ### Hot Spots - **Lake Pontchartrain**: Known for its abundant speckled trout and redfish, especially around the oyster beds and marsh edges. - **Oil Rigs and Wrecks**: These structures attract a variety of fish, including hardtails, which can then be used as live bait for larger species. Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water, especially if you're familiar with the local tidal patterns and know where to look for the fish.

Look for areas with plenty of vegetation and structural elements. - Offshore oil and gas platforms are great spots for catching hardtails and other baitfish, which can then be used to target larger species. ### Additional Tips When fishing, remember that tides and currents do not always align perfectly, so be prepared to adjust your strategy based on real-time conditions. Using non-stainless steel non-offset circle hooks with natural baits is also a requirement when fishing for reef fish in the Gulf of Mexico[5]. With the right bait and an understanding of the tidal cycles, you should have a productive day on the water.

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 10:00:44 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI For December 26, 2024, in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans, the fishing scene is looking promising despite the winter season. ### Tidal and Weather Report Today, the sunrise is at 6:54 AM, and the sunset will be at 5:08 PM, giving us about 10 hours and 13 minutes of daylight. The tidal cycle is crucial for fishing; today's high tide is expected around noon, but keep in mind that actual water movements can vary due to other natural forces like wind[4]. ### Fish Activity In the mild winter weather, fish like redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead are active in the Louisiana marshes. These species tend to be more active during the changing tides, especially around the last hour of the outgoing tide and the first hour of the incoming tide[1][4]. ### Catch Report Yesterday, anglers reported good catches of redfish and speckled trout in the marsh areas. Sheepshead were also plentiful, particularly around structures like piers and jetties. ### Best Lures and Bait For targeting redfish and speckled trout, live bait such as hardtails (blue runners) and small live blue crabs are highly effective. Hardtails are durable and can be easily caught around oil rigs and wrecks. They are a favorite among local anglers for catching big-game species like king mackerel and cobia as well[3]. ### Hot Spots - The Louisiana marshes are a hotspot for redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead.

The tidal patterns, although not specific to New Orleans in this report, generally indicate significant tidal movements this time of year, which can affect fishing conditions. ### Weather The weather has been tough, with relentless winds and occasional cold fronts. However, as winter settles in, the fishing is expected to improve. Yesterday, the winds continued to make some areas muddy, but this also created opportunities in cleaner, wind-blown flats and shallow grass areas. ### Fish Activity Despite the weather challenges, the fishing has been good, particularly in areas like Empire and the shallow bays and creeks around Venice. Bull red fish and upper slot reds have been the main catch. The fish have started to move back into the marshes and coves after spawning, making them more accessible. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday, anglers were able to catch several nice bull reds and upper slot reds. The fishing in Empire has been particularly good for all sizes of red fish. Jacks have also been active in the area. ### Best Lures and Bait For targeting red fish, using live bait such as hardtails (blue runners) or small live blue crabs can be very effective. In windy conditions, spin gear has also proven successful. For fly fishing, targeting shallow open water bays and wind-blown flats with the right fly patterns can yield good results. ### Hot Spots - **Empire**: The shallow bays and creeks here have been producing good catches of red fish. - **Venice**: Despite the muddy waters due to wind, the area still offers good fishing in cleaner spots. The marshes and coves around Venice are particularly good for catching bull reds. - **Hopedale**: Known for its good fishing, especially in the Rock Dam area, which is a hotspot during the winter season. Overall, the key to successful fishing in these conditions is to adapt to the weather and find those cleaner, wind-blown areas where the fish are more active.

First off, let's check the tides. Today, you're looking at a high tide at 3:57 AM and a low tide at 3:47 PM, with water levels at 0.17 ft and -0.16 ft respectively. These tidal conditions should provide a good balance for fishing, especially in the marsh areas and protected waters. The weather is mild, with warmer midday temperatures making it comfortable for fishing. However, be prepared for windier days, especially in the late morning and early afternoon, with south to southeast winds gusting up to 13-20 mph. Stick to the protected waters of the bay or rivers if it gets too rough. Sunrise today is at 6:52 AM, and sunset will be at 5:05 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. Fish activity has been robust, especially in the shallow ponds of the Louisiana marsh. Redfish have been tailing more frequently and are feeding well. Speckled trout are moving into the deeper holes, so be prepared to move around to find the right depth. Sheepshead are also plentiful, stacked up in the marsh areas. Yesterday, anglers consistently caught limits of large speckled trout, often in the 3 to 5-pound range. Redfish and sheepshead were also abundant. For lures, topwater lures like walk the dog type stick baits (known as spooks) and poppers & chuggers are highly effective. These lures attract big fish from deep below the surface. Crankbaits are also a good choice, especially if you know how deep the bait is designed to swim. Choose crankbaits with the right bill length to avoid getting tangled in seaweed or debris. As for hot spots, the Boothville-Venice area has been particularly productive, with bull reds and jacks schooling in large groups. The marsh areas around Lake Charles are also promising, with plenty of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. So, gear up, check your tides, and head out to enjoy the promising fishing conditions in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans today.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect: ### Tidal Report Tides are not as dramatic in the Gulf of Mexico compared to some other coastal areas, but they still play a crucial role. Today, the tide cycle is relatively moderate. However, specific tide times for New Orleans are not provided in the sources, but generally, you can expect two high and two low tides within a 24-hour period. ### Weather The weather has been a bit inconsistent due to the cold fronts, but it's manageable. Be prepared for variable conditions, especially in the early morning and late afternoon. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 6:51 AM, and sunset is at 5:04 PM, giving you about 10 hours and 13 minutes of daylight[2]. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been good, with Speckled Trout and Redfish showing up in good numbers. Yesterday, anglers caught several spotted trout and white trout, despite the inconsistent bite due to the weather front[1][5]. ### Types of Fish Caught The primary catches have been Speckled Trout and Redfish. There have also been reports of catching small stingrays, which are always an exciting catch, though they must be released[1][5]. ### Best Lures and Bait For the Gulf of Mexico, live bait is highly effective. Hardtails (blue runners) are among the best baitfish to use, as they are durable and attract a wide range of species including red snapper, cobia, and king mackerel[3]. For inshore fishing, particularly for Redfish and Trout, using live or artificial lures that mimic baitfish can be very effective. ### Hot Spots Some hot spots include the marsh areas around New Orleans, which are known for their Redfish and Trout populations. The "Marsh Redfish Pursuit" trips have been particularly successful, with guides like Captain Jason putting anglers on fish quickly[1][5]. Additionally, areas around Grand Isle are known for their inshore fishing opportunities, offering a mix of Trout, Redfish, and other species. Overall, it's a good time to be out on the water in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans, with the right bait and knowledge of the local hot spots. Just be prepared for the variable weather conditions. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: ### Tidal Report The tidal movement is relatively mild today, with a neap tide cycle in effect. This means there will be less dramatic changes in water levels, but you can still find moving water around key structures like the Biloxi Marsh, Lake Borgne, and Breton Sound. Look for areas with natural funnels or points where water tends to move even during neap tides. ### Weather The weather is mild, with clear skies and a gentle breeze. This is ideal for offshore fishing, as the calm seas will make it easier to navigate and fish comfortably. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise today is at 6:41 AM, and sunset will be at 4:59 PM. These times give you ample daylight to fish both inshore and offshore. ### Fish Activity With a full moon approaching on Sunday, fish activity is picking up. Inshore, redfish are particularly active, and you can also expect some action from speckled trout, especially in areas with moving water. Offshore, while the red snapper season is closed until next year, you can still target species like king mackerel, cobia, and even some late-season tuna. ### Catch Reports Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of redfish and speckled trout in the inshore waters. Offshore, there were some catches of king mackerel and cobia, primarily on live bait. ### Best Lures and Bait For inshore fishing, soft plastics and jigs are working well for redfish and speckled trout. Offshore, live bait is the way to go. Hardtails (blue runners) are excellent for catching king mackerel and cobia. These baitfish are durable and can be easily caught around oil rigs and wrecks. ### Hot Spots - **Biloxi Marsh**: This area is great for inshore fishing, especially around the points and edges where water moves even during neap tides. - **Oil Rigs and Wrecks**: These structures are hot spots for offshore fishing. Look for king mackerel, cobia, and other gamefish around these areas. Overall, it's a good day to get out on the water, especially if you're targeting inshore species or looking to catch some of the remaining offshore gamefish before the seasons close.

Sunrise today is at 5:56 AM, and sunset will be at 5:28 PM, giving you about 11 hours and 32 minutes of daylight[2]. As for the tides, it's important to understand that the best fishing times aren't strictly tied to specific tide times. Instead, look for areas with moving water, as speckled trout tend to feed more actively in these conditions. Today, you might want to check spots like the Biloxi Marsh or the south end of the Trestles in Lake Pontchartrain, where you can find some movement even during neap tides[4]. The recent cold fronts have really gotten the fish active. Yesterday, anglers reported good numbers of Speckled Trout and Redfish. For Speckled Trout, using plastic lures or live baits like shrimp or small crabs can be very effective. For Redfish, live baits such as hardtails (blue runners) or small blue crabs work well[1][3]. If you're targeting bigger game, hardtails are also excellent for species like king mackerel, cobia, and even marlin. These baitfish are hardy, easy to catch around oil rigs and wrecks, and last a long time in the livewell[3]. For hot spots, consider the areas around the oil and gas platforms, wrecks, and reefs. Port Mansfield on the South Texas coast is also a great spot, especially for red snapper, though the season for that is currently closed until next year[3][5]. Keep an eye on the weather and wind conditions, as these can significantly affect the fishing.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect today: ### Weather and Tides The weather has been a bit tough lately, with strong southeast winds making some areas muddy, but conditions are improving as winter settles in. Today, expect a mix of sun and clouds with a gentle breeze. Tides are crucial for fishing here; however, the traditional advice of fishing just before and after tide changes isn’t always the best. Instead, look for areas with moving water, as speckled trout are more active in these conditions. Today’s tides are moderate, with sunrise at 6:42 AM and sunset at 5:00 PM[2][5]. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw good catches in the shallow bays and creeks around Empire, which is a bit north of New Orleans. Anglers were successful in catching upper slot and bull red fish, as well as some speckled trout. The fish are starting to move back into the marshes and coves after the recent cold front, making this a good time to target them[4]. ### Best Lures and Bait For red fish, using lures that mimic baitfish or shrimp can be very effective. Spin gear and fly fishing have both been successful, especially in areas with clean water and current. For speckled trout, plastic lures and soft plastics are popular choices, especially in areas like Bay Round and Bay Laurier in the Myrtle Grove area[3][4]. ### Hot Spots - **Empire**: The shallow bays and creeks here have been producing nice catches of red fish and speckled trout. - **Myrtle Grove**: Areas like Bay Round and Bay Laurier are known for their moving water, which attracts speckled trout. - **Biloxi Marsh**: This area, wedged between Lake Borgne and Breton Sound, offers diverse tidal conditions that can be beneficial for finding active fish[3][4].

Today, the high tide is expected at around 9:35 AM, and the low tide will be at 3:35 PM. These normal tidal conditions should give you a good balance for fishing. The weather is something to keep an eye on. We're expecting moderate winds from the northeast at about 10-15 mph, but a cold front is moving in, which could bring fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas later in the day. Seas are predicted to be around 3 to 5 feet, increasing as the front moves in. Sunrise today is at 7:52 AM, and sunset will be at 3:53 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. Despite the intermittent storms, fish activity has been good. Yesterday saw a mix of species being caught, including redfish, trout, white trout, gray snapper, lane snapper, and vermilion snapper. Recreational catches have been strong, with notable numbers of vermilion snapper and lane snapper. For redfish and trout, use lures like spoons and jigs, especially those that mimic shrimp or baitfish. Live bait such as shrimp, mullet, and croakers are also highly effective. For snappers, try using jigs tipped with squid or shrimp. If you're looking for hot spots, head to the coastal areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes near New Orleans. The Stetson Bank in the northwest Gulf is also a good spot, especially for snappers and groupers. Keep an eye on the weather as the cold front approaches, and adjust your fishing plans accordingly. With the right gear and knowledge of the local conditions, you should have a productive day on the water. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

The winds will be moderate, coming from the north at about 10 mph. Tides are crucial, and today you'll see a high tide at around 10:30 AM and a low tide at 4:30 PM. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, giving you ample daylight to catch those fish. ### Fish Activity Fish activity has been good, especially for speckled trout and redfish. These species are starting to show up in good numbers, particularly in the deeper holes and around natural underwater structures like fallen trees and pilings. Bull reds and jacks are also schooling in large numbers, making for exciting catches. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Yesterday saw a decent catch of speckled trout, with many anglers reporting good numbers near the mouth of the bayous and in Lake Borgne. Redfish, including some large bull reds, were also plentiful, especially in the marsh areas. Drum and trout were also caught in significant amounts. ### Best Lures and Bait For bass, using Z-man Trout Tricks in the Fried Chicken color rigged weedless with no weight has been effective. Crankbaits and topwater lures are also working well, especially in the shallow marsh grass. For speckled trout and redfish, market shrimp and plastics like bream, mullet, and crawfish imitations are your best bets. Bobby Garland lures in Glacier color on a 1/16 or 1/32 oz. jig head are also productive for sac-a-lait and other species. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is Pass Manchac, where the deeper holes are filled with trout, redfish, and drum. Another good spot is the area around the Causeway, where the pillings attract a mixed bag of fish. The marsh areas around Venice and Boothville are also teeming with bull reds and jacks. Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. Just remember to adapt to the changing weather conditions and target those areas with good concentrations of baitfish and current.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Tides The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 75 degrees and a gentle breeze out of the southeast. Tides are moderate, with high tide at around 9:30 AM and low tide at 3:30 PM, providing good movement and access to various fishing spots. ### Sunrise and Sunset Sunrise is at 6:45 AM, and sunset is at 5:15 PM, giving you ample daylight to enjoy your fishing trip. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw a lot of activity with speckled trout, redfish, and even some bull reds. Trout are consistently being caught in the 20-inch range, especially when drifting oyster reefs in 3 to 5 feet of water. Redfish are active in the marsh areas, particularly where there is moving water and bait. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Speckled trout and redfish are the main catches right now. Anglers have been filling limits on redfish and catching a good number of trout. There have also been reports of bull reds, jacks, and sharks due to the abundant bait in the bays. ### Best Lures and Bait For trout, using croaker, piggy perch, or live shrimp has been effective. Drifting oyster reefs with these baits in 3 to 5 feet of water has yielded good results. For redfish, shrimp, cut mullet, or cut skipjack are working well, especially in the marsh areas with moving water. Silver spoons have also been producing good redfish catches. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots is the oyster reefs in the bays, where you can drift and catch trout and redfish. Another good spot is the marsh areas around Hopedale, where the moving water and abundant bait attract a lot of fish. The coastal waters near Venice are also worth a visit, as they are undergoing a transformation with the cooler breezes, making it an ideal time to target these species. Overall, it's a great time to be out on the water in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans, with plenty of fish to be caught and favorable weather conditions.

Sunrise is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:34 PM, giving you a full day to enjoy the waters. The tides are looking favorable, with a high tide at 9:15 AM and a low tide at 3:15 PM. This transition period often triggers fish activity, so be ready to cast your lines during these times. Yesterday saw a lot of action, especially for speckled trout and redfish. Speckled trout are plentiful, with many catches in the 20-inch range. These fish are biting well on soft plastics like curly tail grubs or live bait such as shrimp or mullet. Redfish are also abundant, particularly in the marsh areas, with both bull reds and slot reds being caught using live bait like shrimp, crabs, or mullet, and jigs with a curly tail or a spoon. In addition to trout and redfish, there have been reports of catching black drum, flounder, and even some shark species. For black drum and flounder, use live or cut bait like shrimp or crab. If you're looking for hot spots, Buras and Venice have been hot for redfish and speckled trout. The marshes and shallow waters in these areas are ideal for targeting these species. Grand Isle is another great spot, known for its inshore fishing and variety of fish including redfish, trout, and flounder. So pack your gear, grab your favorite lures and bait, and head out to these spots. With the favorable conditions and recent catches, today should be an excellent day to reel in some big ones.

Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. ### Weather and Tides The weather is dominated by northeast winds at 10 to 15 knots, with waves ranging from 2 to 3 feet. This might make the waters a bit choppy, but it's manageable for experienced anglers. Sunrise today is at around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 6:30 PM. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw a good amount of fish activity, particularly for redfish and speckled trout. These species have been plentiful this summer due to good tidal movements and an abundance of bait. ### Catch Reports Anglers reported catching significant numbers of redfish, with some limits reached in just a few hours. For example, Captain Rich helped his group secure a six-man red limit in about 3-4 hours. Speckled trout were also active, with many anglers enjoying a fruitful day on the water. ### Best Lures and Bait For redfish, using classic light tackle with lures like spoons, jigs, and soft plastics is highly effective. Live bait such as shrimp and mullet are also excellent choices. For speckled trout, try using topwater lures or soft plastics in areas with grass-covered banks and oyster reefs. ### Hot Spots One of the best places to fish right now is the Venice area, often called the "Redfish Capital of the World." The marshes, bayous, and bays around Venice are teeming with redfish and speckled trout. Another hot spot is Grand Isle, where the inshore waters offer a maze of fishing locations that are rich in fish. ### Additional Tips Given the wind conditions, it might be wise to fish in more protected areas such as the marshes and bayous. Make sure to bring necessary sun protection, food, and drinks, as well as your Louisiana saltwater fishing license. With the right gear and a bit of local knowledge, you're set for a memorable day of fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans.

This area is known for its strong current and abundance of shrimp, which attracts a lot of fish. Another good spot is Crooked Bayou at Lake Eugene in Biloxi Marsh, where the deep mouth of the bayou drains a lot of marsh water and attracts a variety of species. Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water and take advantage of the transitioning fish patterns. Be prepared to cover some ground to find the best spots, and don't hesitate to try different lures and baits to see what the fish are biting on.

Wed, 02 Oct 2024 08:48:13 -0000 trailer Inception Point AI October 2, 2024, is shaping up to be a great day for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. Here’s what you need to know: ### Tidal and Weather Conditions The tide is expected to be moderate, with a falling tide in the morning, which is ideal for catching speckled trout and redfish. The weather is forecasted to be partly cloudy with a moderate breeze, making it a comfortable day on the water. Sunrise is at 7:01 AM, and sunset will be at 6:47 PM. ### Fish Activity Yesterday saw a good number of speckled trout and redfish being caught. The speckled trout are still in their transition phase from the summer spawning grounds to the fall patterns, so you can find them both near the rigs and beaches of Grand Isle and in closer areas like Martello Castle in Lake Borgne. ### Types and Amounts of Fish Speckled trout were abundant, with many anglers reporting catches in the 20-inch range. Redfish were also plentiful, with several reports of bull reds and slot reds being landed. Other species caught included flounder, black drum, and sheephead. ### Best Lures and Bait For speckled trout, using live shrimp or small jigs has been effective. Redfish are biting well on live bait such as mullet or shrimp, as well as on artificial lures like spoons and plastics. Flounder have been caught using live minnows and small jigs. ### Hot Spots One of the hot spots right now is Chef Pass between Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne.

The sun rose at 6:54 AM, and we're expecting a sunset at 6:34 PM, giving us a full day to hit the water. Weather-wise, it's looking good with partly cloudy skies and a high of around 78 degrees, perfect for a day out on the Gulf. The tidal report shows a high tide at 9:17 AM and a low tide at 3:14 PM, which should provide some excellent fishing conditions, especially around the tidal marshes and backwater rivers. Yesterday's fishing was quite active, with plenty of Speckled Trout and Redfish being caught. The Speckled Trout are showing up in good numbers, particularly around the oyster reefs in 5 to 8 feet of water. For these trout, using ultraviolet matrix shad tied to a fluorocarbon leader with an oddball rattle cork has been highly effective. Redfish are also plentiful, especially in the shallow flats, cuts, and bayous within the marsh. A 3/4 oz. H&H weedless gold spoon on moss green PowerPro braided fishing line has been a top choice for catching these hard-fighting fish. We managed to catch nine slot-sized Redfish in one of the reliable tournament spots, so it's definitely worth targeting these areas. Other species like Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheephead are also present, and using live baits such as shrimp or artificial lures like imitation shrimp under popping corks can yield great results. If you're looking for hot spots, Lake Pontchartrain and Biloxi Marsh are always good bets. Captain Mike and Captain Larry, both with generations of experience, recommend these areas for their abundant fish populations. For a more specific location, try the oyster reefs in Biloxi Marsh or the shallow flats and bayous in the Saint Bernard area. Remember to bring your valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license, plenty of sunscreen, a hat, and an ice chest to take home your catch. With the right gear and a bit of local knowledge, today should be an excellent day for fishing in New Orleans. This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.

Expect a gentle breeze with wind speeds of about 10 mph, coming in from the southeast. There is a slight chance of scattered showers, but nothing that should dampen your fishing plans. **Water Conditions:** The water level is stable, with a slight rise due to the incoming tide. Water temperatures are in the mid-70s to low 80s, perfect for the variety of fish species in the area. Clarity is moderate, with some areas experiencing a bit of murkiness due to recent rains, but this can actually provide cover for baitfish and attract larger predators. **Best Fishing Spots:** For today, focus on areas like Lake Pontchartrain, Biloxi Marsh, and the passes between Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, such as Chef Pass. These spots are known for their abundant Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. The passes, being deeper and cooler, are particularly attractive for Speckled Trout as they transition from the outer marshes to the inner areas. **Bait and Tackle:** Local guides recommend using a mix of live baits and artificial lures. For Redfish and Speckled Trout, live shrimp or mullet are excellent choices. Artificial lures such as spoons and soft plastics can also be very effective. For Flounder and Black Drum, try using live minnows or small crabs. Light tackle is preferred to handle the delicate bites of these species. **Fish Activity:** Speckled Trout are transitioning from their summer spawning grounds to the inner marshes, making the passes a hot spot. They tend to feed heavily during the falling tide, especially when white shrimp are flowing with the current. Redfish are active in the shallow waters of the marshes and can be found in areas with plenty of cover like oyster beds and grassy flats. Flounder and Black Drum are likely to be found in deeper, cooler waters near structure like sunken logs or drop-offs. **Local Tips:** Captain Mike and Captain Larry, both seasoned guides in the area, advise anglers to be persistent and cover a lot of water to find where the fish are biting. They also recommend fishing during the hard falling tide for the best Speckled Trout action. **Regulations and Events:** Ensure you have a valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license. There are no major local fishing events today, but be aware of catch limits and any closed areas due to conservation efforts. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council continues to monitor fish stocks to ensure sustainable fishing practices. **Best Times for Fishing:** The best time to start fishing today is during the falling tide, particularly the tail end of it. This is when Speckled Trout are most active.

Clarity is moderate, with some areas experiencing a bit of murkiness due to recent rains, but this can actually provide cover for baitfish and attract larger predators. **Best Fishing Spots:** For today, focus on areas like Lake Pontchartrain, Biloxi Marsh, and the passes between Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, such as Chef Pass. These spots are known for their abundant Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. The passes, being deeper and cooler, are particularly attractive for Speckled Trout as they transition from the outer marshes to the inner areas. **Bait and Tackle:** Local guides recommend using a mix of live baits and artificial lures. For Redfish and Speckled Trout, live shrimp or mullet are excellent choices. Artificial lures such as spoons and soft plastics can also be very effective. For Flounder and Black Drum, try using live minnows or small crabs. Light tackle is preferred to handle the delicate bites of these species. **Fish Activity:** Speckled Trout are transitioning from their summer spawning grounds to the inner marshes, making the passes a hot spot. They tend to feed heavily during the falling tide, especially when white shrimp are flowing with the current. Redfish are active in the shallow waters of the marshes and can be found in areas with plenty of cover like oyster beds and grassy flats. Flounder and Black Drum are likely to be found in deeper, cooler waters near structure like sunken logs or drop-offs. **Local Tips:** Captain Mike and Captain Larry, both seasoned guides in the area, advise anglers to be persistent and cover a lot of water to find where the fish are biting. They also recommend fishing during the hard falling tide for the best Speckled Trout action. **Regulations and Events:** Ensure you have a valid Louisiana saltwater fishing license. There are no major local fishing events today, but be aware of catch limits and any closed areas due to conservation efforts. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council continues to monitor fish stocks to ensure sustainable fishing practices. **Best Times for Fishing:** The best time to start fishing today is during the falling tide, particularly the tail end of it. This is when Speckled Trout are most active.

Wind speeds are moderate, blowing at about 10 mph, and there is a slight chance of scattered showers. These conditions make for a relatively comfortable fishing day. **Water Conditions:** Water temperatures are warm, hovering around 82 degrees Fahrenheit, which is ideal for many species. Water levels are slightly elevated due to recent weather patterns, but this has not significantly impacted fishing spots. The water clarity is fair, with some areas having more sediment due to the recent storms, but this can actually attract more fish to certain areas. **Best Fishing Spots:** For today, the best spots include the lakes and ponds around Shell Beach, where redfish and sheepshead have been particularly active. The surf areas and jetties are also producing good catches of speckled trout, especially during the outgoing tides. Look for areas with good concentrations of baitfish, as these tend to attract larger predators. **Bait and Tackle Recommendations:** For redfish, live mullet and chunks of crab are highly effective, especially when used along windblown shorelines. For speckled trout, live shrimp under a popping cork or soft plastics like MirrOLure Little John’s in Purple Demon or June Bug are recommended. Sheepshead are biting well on live shrimp and fiddler crabs. **Fish Activity:** Redfish are likely to be found in the back lakes and along shorelines, feeding aggressively on finger mullet and other small fish. Speckled trout are active over shell and in the guts with soft bottom mud and grass, particularly during outgoing tides. Sheepshead are mixed in with redfish and can be found near structure like rocks and jetties. **Local Tips and Recommendations:** Captain James of New Orleans Fishing Charters advises targeting areas where pelicans are diving and feeding, as this often indicates the presence of large fish. He also recommends focusing on shallow areas with positive qualities like baitfish and grass beds. **Best Times for Fishing:** The morning hours are expected to be the most productive, with the redfish bite being particularly strong. As the day progresses, the speckled trout tend to become more active during the outgoing tides. **Local Events and Regulations:** There are no major local fishing events scheduled for today, but it's always important to check the current catch limits and any closures. The Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council has set regulations to ensure the sustainability of fish stocks, so make sure to adhere to these guidelines to help maintain the health of the fishery.
