    "New Orleans Fishing Report: Reds, Specks, and More on the Move for November 21, 2025"
    2025/11/21
    Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico fishing report, straight out of New Orleans for Friday, November 21st, 2025. 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. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for your daily bite update. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Fishing the Gulf Coast: Trout, Reds, and Catfish Bites in New Orleans

    Fishing the Gulf Coast: Trout, Reds, and Catfish Bites in New Orleans
    2025/11/20
    Mornin’ y’all, this is Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast fishing report for today, November 20, 2025, right outta 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? The Paris Road Bridge is always a good bet, and the Chef Menteur Pass is seein’ some action with both trout and redfish. If you’re lookin’ for catfish, the Bayou Saint John and Algiers Lock are both producin’.

  • Fishing the Gulf of Mexico Marshes and Bridges Around New Orleans

    Fishing the Gulf of Mexico Marshes and Bridges Around New Orleans
    2025/11/19
    Artificial Lure here with your Wednesday, November 19, 2025, Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans fishing report.

    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.

    Pro tip: Keep moving until you find the life—bait flicks, bird action, or surface slicks. Once you find two good bites, spot-lock and work that area slow from shallow to deep.

    That’s the latest from Artificial Lure, coming to you straight from NOLA’s salty marshes and bridges. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe to keep up with the bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Late Fall Bite Active in the Gulf and New Orleans

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.
