  • Late Fall Bite Active in the Gulf and New Orleans
    2025/11/18
    Artificial Lure coming to you with Tuesday’s fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans. 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.

  • Coastal Louisiana Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and More Biting Across the Region
    2025/11/17
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you your New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico fishing report for Monday, November 17, 2025.

    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. Get two quick bites? Stake out and work methodically; the bite won’t always last all day this season, but if you move and adapt, you’ll go home heavy.

    That’s your update from the water. Thanks for tuning in to the Artificial Lure fishing report—be sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a tide or bite window.

  • New Orleans Fishing Forecast: Trout, Reds, and More on a Calm November Day
    2025/11/16
    Artificial Lure here with your boots-on-the-ground fishing report for the greater New Orleans and Gulf of Mexico area this Sunday, November 16th, 2025. 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]. Toss ‘em on a ⅛ to ¼ ounce jighead, and work those ledges and current seams.

    That’s the bite as it stands on this gorgeous November day on the Gulf! Thanks for tuning in to your local fishing report. Don’t forget to subscribe and keep those lines tight.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Steady Bites and Calm Conditions
    2025/11/15
    Mornin’ y’all, it’s Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast fishing report for Saturday, November 15th, 2025. 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. Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest reports, and tight lines out there. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • South Louisiana Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and More Biting Inshore and Offshore
    2025/11/14
    Artificial Lure here, checking in with your Friday morning report straight outta the Crescent City. 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. For boaters, Breton Sound out to L&N Bridge is turning up solid catches, especially when you work the windward shoreline.

    Thanks for tuning in to your boots-on-the-ground Gulf report. Y’all be safe out there and keep those lines tight. Don’t forget to subscribe for your daily fix. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Coastal Fishing Near New Orleans: Trout, Reds, and Drum on the Bite
    2025/11/13
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest on coastal fishing around the Gulf near New Orleans for Thursday, November 13, 2025. 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.

    Thanks for tuning in to another Gulf Coast fishing report with Artificial Lure. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a hot bite.

  • Fishing the New Orleans Marsh: Redfish, Trout, and More in Ideal November Conditions
    2025/11/11
    Artificial Lure here, reporting live from the heart of Gulf fishing in and around New Orleans. 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.

    If you’re fishing solo this week, don’t skip the classic New Orleans marsh combo: a popping cork rigged with live shrimp or a paddle-tail plastic just above submerged grass. Cast and drift along tide lines for the most bites.

  • November 10th Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans Fishing Report - Hot Bites, Calm Seas, and Seasonal Transitions
    2025/11/10
    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. 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.

    If you’re headed offshore—and the weather allows—the Chandeleur Sound holds solid schools of redfish and the occasional run of jack crevalle for those trolling spoons or sinking swim baits along the outer bars.

    That’ll do it for today’s fishing update around the Crescent City and nearby Gulf. Conditions are setting up for a heck of a week, so tie on your favorite lure, check that knot, and go make some memories out there.
