  • Specks, Reds, and Freshwater Bass: Fishing the Gulf Coast Playground

    Specks, Reds, and Freshwater Bass: Fishing the Gulf Coast Playground
    2025/10/28
    Artificial Lure here, reporting live from New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico on this fine Tuesday, October 28, 2025. 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.

    Hot spots to hit today:
    - **Bayou Bienvenue:** Marsh drains loaded with reds and specks at outgoing tide.
    - **Goose Point:** Early morning trout bite, especially for kayakers.
    - **Chef Menteur Pass and the Rigolets:** Consistent mix of reds, trout, and the stray drum.

    Keep in mind, guide reviews from Captain Experiences this week glow about good action on reds and variety trips inshore for families and seasoned anglers alike.

  • Late October Fishing Forecast New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico

    Late October Fishing Forecast New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico
    2025/10/27
    Artificial Lure here with your Monday, October 27th fishing report for New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. 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. With all the bait moving in, don’t be surprised to hook into a hefty blue cat or freshwater drum while targeting reds in brackish water.

    That’s the scoop: shrimp imitations for trout, flashy gold for reds, and keep a few live baits handy if the artificial bite slows. The fish are on the feed, the weather’s prime—you’ve got no excuse but to get out there and put a few in the cooler.

  • Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Drum Bites Hot in New Orleans' Fall Marsh Fishing

    Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Drum Bites Hot in New Orleans' Fall Marsh Fishing
    2025/10/26
    Artificial Lure here bringing you the latest fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, right out of New Orleans, on this fine October 26th, 2025, straight from the docks and the marsh grass.

    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.

    In sum: weather is prime, tides are in our favor, fish are fattening up for winter. If you’re not out on the water, you’re missing what makes Louisiana fishing some of the best in the country. Take it from a local—grab some bait, hit the marsh, and let’s make more tales for the dock.

  • New Orleans Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Falling Tide Action

    New Orleans Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Falling Tide Action
    2025/10/25
    Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for October 25, 2025, coming at you straight from the heart of the Gulf—New Orleans and the surrounding marshes.

    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. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reports almost 97% of the private recreational red snapper quota for 2025 is already landed, so that season is winding down fast.

    Remember: In these tidal swings, follow the moving water and fish those transitions. Get your bait in the current seams and around structure for best results.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy in the Gulf - Reds, Trout, and More!

    Fall Fishing Frenzy in the Gulf - Reds, Trout, and More!
    2025/10/24
    Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area, October 24, 2025. 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. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss what’s biting.

  • New Orleans Fishing Heats Up as Fall Patterns Peak

    New Orleans Fishing Heats Up as Fall Patterns Peak
    2025/10/23
    Artificial Lure here with your latest fishing report for New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf of Mexico waters—Thursday, October 23, 2025.

    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. Light tackle is plenty sufficient, but pack a heavier rod in case you hook into a bull red or big drum.

    Thanks for tuning in to your New Orleans and Gulf Coast fishing update. Give us a follow, subscribe for more real-time local reports, and keep those lines tight until next time.

  • New Orleans Fishing Report: October's Top Trout, Reds, and More

    New Orleans Fishing Report: October's Top Trout, Reds, and More
    2025/10/22
    Artificial Lure here with your early-morning report for New Orleans and the Gulf. 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.

    That’s a wrap for the Gulf and New Orleans this morning. Thanks for tuning in to today’s fishing report—be sure to subscribe for daily updates on tides, bite windows, and best lures. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Shrimp Galore on the Louisiana Marshes

    Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, and Shrimp Galore on the Louisiana Marshes
    2025/10/20
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest fishing report straight from the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans waters for October 20, 2025.

    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 plastics, grab some fresh live shrimp, and get after it.

    That’s your wrap from Artificial Lure—thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily bites. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
