    Wednesday Fishing Report Gulf Coast New Orleans - Tides, Topwaters and Bull Reds
    2025/12/03
    # Wednesday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast and New Orleans

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Wednesday morning fishing report for December 3rd, 2025.

    **Tidal Conditions**

    We're looking at some solid tidal movement today around the New Orleans area. 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. It's a great time to be on the water.

  • Bayou Bounty: Speckled Trout & Redfish Heating Up in the Gulf of Mexico & New Orleans

    Bayou Bounty: Speckled Trout & Redfish Heating Up in the Gulf of Mexico & New Orleans
    2025/12/02
    # Gulf of Mexico & New Orleans Fishing Report - December 2, 2025

    Hey there, this is Artificial Lure with your daily fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area.

    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.

  • Gulf Trout Bonanza and Redfish Roundup in the New Orleans Waterways

    Gulf Trout Bonanza and Redfish Roundup in the New Orleans Waterways
    2025/12/01
    # Daily Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

    Well hey there, folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area. 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. Make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's happening in our Gulf waters. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

  • New Orleans Fishing Forecast: Tides, Moons, and Hot Spots for Trout, Reds, and Flounder

    New Orleans Fishing Forecast: Tides, Moons, and Hot Spots for Trout, Reds, and Flounder
    2025/11/30
    # 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. 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.

  • Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: Targeting Specks, Reds, & Hot Spots for a Productive Day on the Water

    Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: Targeting Specks, Reds, & Hot Spots for a Productive Day on the Water
    2025/11/29
    # Artificial Lure's Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report - November 29, 2025

    Well hey there, folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure coming to you live with today's fishing conditions around New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico.

    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.

  • Gulf Fishing Report: Hot Bites, Tidal Patterns, and Top Spots around New Orleans

    Gulf Fishing Report: Hot Bites, Tidal Patterns, and Top Spots around New Orleans
    2025/11/28
    # Artificial Lure's Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report - November 28th, 2025

    Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure back with your Friday morning bite report from the Gulf waters around New Orleans. 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.

  • Thanksgiving Day Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, Flounder & More Biting in the Gulf of Mexico

    Thanksgiving Day Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, Flounder & More Biting in the Gulf of Mexico
    2025/11/27
    # Artificial Lure's Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report - Thursday, November 27, 2025

    Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico fishing report for Thanksgiving Day, and let me tell you, conditions are looking pretty solid out there.

    **The Tides and Conditions**

    We've got high tide hitting around 5:28 AM this morning, dropping to low tide around 4:19 PM. 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! Thanks for tuning in, and make sure you subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Drum Bite Hot Across the Marshes

    Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Drum Bite Hot Across the Marshes
    2025/11/26
    Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area fishing report.

    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.

    Thanks for tuning in to your Gulf Coast report with Artificial Lure—where the bite’s hot and the stories are even hotter. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the next tide or tip.
