    Louisiana Fishing Report: Specs, Reds, and Offshore Action Heating Up
    2025/06/22
    Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana fishing report for Sunday, June 22, 2025. Let’s dive right into what the water’s giving us today.

    Weather’s shaping up classic for summer in Louisiana—humid, with plenty of sun peeking through scattered clouds. Expect a light south-southwest breeze and temps cruising from the mid-70s at sunrise to low 90s as the afternoon bakes on. Sunrise kicked off at 6:01 a.m., with sunset winding down at 8:07 p.m., giving you a nice long window for chasing that early or late bite. Tides are running moderate today, with a decent incoming flow late morning, topping out around midday—prime time for those feeding fish to move in shallow.

    Speckled trout are the main story lately, stacked up thick in Shell Beach, Hopedale, and across Lake Borgne. Reports from Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report and Captain Experiences say anglers are landing solid numbers, especially at first light and just before dusk. Most fish are coming off oyster reefs and grass beds, with some mixed in around marsh drains as the tide rises.

    Redfish? They’re hot right now. Louisiana Sportsman and recent field reports show folks sight-casting in the Biloxi Marsh and catching slot reds along the cane edges and in the ponds. Flounder have shown up in better numbers too—look for them around the mouths of bayous and in the deeper pockets off flats.

    Offshore, boats heading out past the rigs have done well on red snapper and the occasional cobia and tripletail since snapper season opened up. Live bait is king offshore, but folks jigging big plastics near structure are getting hooked up.

    Best baits and lures this week: For specks, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp under a popping cork, but if you’re throwing artificials, topwater walk-the-dog baits like Heddon Spooks and the MirrOlure She Dog have been deadly at daybreak, according to Capt. C.A. on Flats Class. When the sun gets high, switch to soft plastics in glow or opening night, rigged on 1/8-ounce jigheads. For redfish, spinnerbaits and gold spoons are working great in the stained water. The Z-Man spinnerbait holds up to the big hits and can be thrown tight to the cane without snagging. Kicker Crabs and Gulp! shrimp are also top picks for sight-casting in the marsh.

    Can’t forget your live bait—shrimp, croakers, and minnows are all working well right now, especially for the larger specs and reds, as baitfish continue to spawn and draw predator fish in from deeper water, as reported by The Shoofly Magazine.

    Hot spots: Check Shell Beach and Hopedale for a mixed bag of trout and reds, with bonus flounder around the drains. Lake Borgne is firing for topwater trout at sunrise, and Biloxi Marsh is a sure bet for sight-fishing reds. Venice Marina is a top jump-off for offshore snapper and cobia runs.

    Don’t forget, crowds are heavy but fish are spread out—don’t be afraid to explore away from the fleets for your own honey hole.

    That’s your local update from the Gulf—tight lines out there! Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for more reports and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Hot Summertime Bite Heats Up the Louisiana Gulf

    Hot Summertime Bite Heats Up the Louisiana Gulf
    2025/06/21
    Artificial Lure here with your June 21, 2025, fishing report for Louisiana’s Gulf of Mexico waters, where summer’s in full swing and the action is heating up across the marshes, bays, and nearshore rigs.

    Today’s sunrise came at 6:01 AM, with sunset rolling in at 8:08 PM, giving anglers a big window for prime fishing. Weather’s looking good—expect highs in the upper 80s, mostly sunny skies, light south winds, and a humid feel—classic June fishing weather for south Louisiana.

    Tides are moderate, with a high tide peaking late morning and falling out after lunchtime. That means your best shot for inshore species like speckled trout and redfish is right at dawn and during the first part of the outgoing tide.

    The bite’s been hot and steady, with speckled trout coming off the reefs and shell pads at Shell Beach and Hopedale, especially on the falling tide. According to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report, speckled trout, redfish, and flounder have been the main catches lately, with the trout bite described as “goin’ strong”—Shell Beach and Hopedale are top picks right now.

    Redfish are stacked up along the grass beds and points near Biloxi Marsh and the mouth of Bayou Bienvenue. Reports on Louisiana Sportsman show big slot reds, and even some bulls, coming from cut banks on live and cut bait, but they’re also smashing spinnerbaits and soft plastics.

    Offshore, snapper season’s in swing. Local charters have been doing well on red and mangrove snapper out at the live bottoms, especially using big live baits. There’s even been a surprise showing of tripletail around floating debris, and a few late cobia caught near the rigs, as noted by the Shore Thing Fishing Report.

    Best baits and lures: Can’t beat a live shrimp under a popping cork for trout and slot reds right now, but when the bite gets tough or you’re after numbers, switch to artificial—topwater walk-the-dog lures like the Heddon Super Spook and popping baits are excellent for early morning trout. When the sun’s up, soft plastics in chartreuse or opening night colors rigged on 1/4-ounce jigheads have been pulling trout and flounder from channel edges. For redfish, gold spinnerbaits and weedless spoons are deadly in those grassy marsh drains, especially with off-color water.

    A couple of hot spots to try: Shell Beach reefs in the early morning for trout, and the edges of Biloxi Marsh for both reds and trout, especially on the falling tide. Don’t overlook the rigs out of Breton Sound for a mix of snapper and the occasional cobia.

    Shrimp and croakers are plentiful at the bait stands, but the artificial bite is truly strong—especially with the trout chasing baitfish spawns in open water. Just remember: with crowds getting thick, sometimes it pays to look for quieter water a bit away from where everyone’s anchored up.

  • Louisiana Gulf Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Offshore Bounty

    Louisiana Gulf Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and Offshore Bounty
    2025/06/21
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest from the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana’s legendary coast this fine Saturday, June 21st, 2025.

    Sunrise kicked off at 6:01am, with sunset stretching out to 8:03pm, giving us a full window to work those lines. Weather’s been classic Louisiana summer—humid, warm, and a light Gulf breeze to keep the skeeters honest. Water temps are holding steady in the 80-degree range, which means both inshore and offshore species are fired up. NOAA reminds us to keep an eye out for those surprise afternoon pop-up storms, especially in the marsh and barrier islands.

    On the tide, we’re seeing a moderate, early-morning outgoing cycle. That’s the ticket for explosive surface action, especially first light. Most of your big trout and redfish are feeding heavy right after dawn.

    Inshore, the reports couldn’t be better. Speckled trout have been thick from Shell Beach to Hopedale, out toward Breton Sound. Most boats are limiting out early. Local captain Mike Callahan calls June a “can’t-miss” month for the marsh bite. Anglers working live shrimp under popping corks are packing the cooler, but if you like to throw plastics, the MirrOlure She Dog topwater is drawing wild strikes early, followed by Matrix Shad soft plastics on 1/4-ounce jigheads once the sun’s up. Topwater lures—especially “walk the dog” style spooks—are deadly for big specs and slots around sunrise, while spinner baits work wonders for redfish in stained water along the canes and grass edges. Louisiana’s Sportsman and Captain Troy Wetzel both confirm that crankbaits get the job done for deeper patterns, especially as things heat up midday.

    Offshore, federally-permitted snapper boats are seeing great action. Red snapper are running steady on the nearshore reefs, with a few bonus cobia popping up. John D. out of Boothville-Venice says big fish are unusually close in, and wahoo season is gearing up. Don’t be shocked if you see boats coming in heavy with tripletail—several over the 18-inch mark have already been landed in the last week.

    For bait, nothing beats a frisky live shrimp or croaker right now, though the diehard artificial folks are having a blast with kicker crabs and spinner baits, especially around Lake Borgne and the Biloxi Marsh.

    Hot spots today:
    - Shell Beach to Hopedale for limits of speckled trout.
    - Breton Sound rigs and reefs for mixed bags and red snapper.
    - Lake Borgne and the Biloxi Marsh edges for early-morning redfish.

    That’s your on-the-water rundown for the Louisiana Gulf. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a bite. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • "Fishing Hotspots and Lures for Louisiana's Gulf Coast"

    "Fishing Hotspots and Lures for Louisiana's Gulf Coast"
    2025/06/20
    Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana fishing report for Friday, June 20, 2025.

    Sunrise came bright and early at 6:01 AM, and you’ve got daylight till sunset at 8:03 PM—plenty of time to wet a line, chase your limit, and soak in a full day on the water. We’re well into the summer swing, with water temps steady around 80 degrees and the weather hot and humid, accented by light Gulf breezes. Watch the sky this afternoon—NOAA keeps reminding us it’s an active hurricane season, and those pop-up summer storms can roll through fast.

    Tide-wise, we have a moderate outgoing tide this morning, which means those first couple hours after dawn are prime time for the bite, especially on topwater. That early falling water is always money for specks and reds staging along the grass edges and oyster points.

    Fish activity is nothing short of outstanding right now. Speckled trout are stacked up thick from Shell Beach through Hopedale east to Breton Sound—anglers are reporting easy limits, mostly early before the heat sets in. Redfish are cruising shallow grass and cut banks, especially when that tide starts dropping. Flounder—always the bonus—are showing up in the marsh drains, particularly for folks dragging soft plastics slow along the bottom.

    Offshore, the federally permitted snapper boats kicked off their season June 1, and it’s a bonanza: lots of red snapper, some chunky late-season cobia, and even a few big tripletail hanging under floating debris. Local guides like Captain Mike Callahan say now’s the time to get after those bigger fish—live croakers and pogies are the top baits offshore.

    When it comes to lures, the classics are killing it. Topwater action with the MirrOlure She Dog is explosive in the early hours, especially for trout and redfish along the grass and oyster bars. For subsurface, Matrix Shad soft plastics on 1/4-ounce jigheads in glow or chartreuse are hard to beat as the sun climbs. If you prefer hardware, ‘walk the dog’ style baits and spinnerbaits—especially in stained water—are pulling strikes all over the marsh, according to guides at Cajun Fishing Adventures. Offshore, crankbaits fished at the right depth (match your bill to the water column) are working well for bigger predators.

    Top baits for live fishing? Shrimp remains king for inshore, either free-lined or under a popping cork. Offshore boats are loading up on frisky croakers and pogies.

    For hot spots, it’s hard to beat Shell Beach and Hopedale this time of year, with reports of big trout and heavy redfish action. If you’re chasing snapper, look for live bottom structure off the Chandeleur Islands or near the rigs east of Venice. For something different, poke around the barrier islands and keep an eye out for floating grass or debris—tripletail have been a pleasant surprise for several crews this week.

    Remember, the bite is hottest early and again at dusk—don’t waste those golden hours. And as always, be courteous out there, give fellow anglers room, and don’t be afraid to try new water if a spot gets crowded.

  • Louisiana Fishing Report: Summer Trout, Reds, and Offshore Snapper Bite Strong

    Louisiana Fishing Report: Summer Trout, Reds, and Offshore Snapper Bite Strong
    2025/06/18
    Good morning y’all, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana fishing report for Wednesday, June 18th, 2025.

    We’ve got another beautiful summer day shaping up on the coast. Sunrise crested at 5:59AM, with sunset rolling in around 8:03PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get after ‘em. Tides around key areas like Grand Isle and the southeast marshes are running moderately, with a tidal coefficient of 61 early and slowly dropping to 59 by the evening, so expect steady—if not dramatic—tidal movement. Low tide is late morning, with a higher tide building overnight, so fish will be pushing in and out of the marsh edges and oyster reefs all day. That’s prime time to catch ‘em moving and feeding, especially around changing water[6][8].

    Weather is mostly calm, humidity’s up as you’d expect, and winds are light—perfect for working those inshore and nearshore waters. Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Grand Isle have all been productive, with water clarity holding up well, and pockets of bait everywhere you look.

    Folks have been hammering speckled trout and redfish in solid numbers this week, according to Louisiana Sportsman reports. Hopedale and Shell Beach are still seeing strong trout bites, some days with near limits, and the reds are cruising the marsh grass and broken islands. Captains from Captain Experiences mention mixed boxes daily, with good-sized reds, a steady sheepshead bite, and even flounder showing up where there’s current and shell bottom[1][2][7]. Offshore, snapper season is on, and the rigs south of Grand Isle have been giving up their share of big red snapper and the occasional cobia[5].

    Top baits this week: live shrimp under a popping cork is always a winner for both trout and reds. But don’t overlook artificials—matrix shad, Vudu shrimp, and gold spoons have all been hot, especially in off-colored water or around grass beds. Early morning topwater action has been excellent, especially for trout—think Super Spook Juniors or Rapala Skitterwalks. If you’re heading out for snapper, squid or cut bait around the rigs is producing steady action, but big jigs will tempt the bruisers too.

    Some hot spots to try today:
    - Shell Beach Horseshoe Lagoon: Trout and reds are stacked up in the cuts and drains on a falling tide.
    - Grand Isle’s surf and Caminada Pass: Plenty of slot reds and trout pushing bait up close to the beaches and passes in the early morning.
    Stay on the move till you find the bite—keep your eye on water movement and bait activity, and you’ll get tight in no time.

  • Louisiana Fishing Report: Trout Limits, Snapper Bonanza, and Tuna Hotspots

    Louisiana Fishing Report: Trout Limits, Snapper Bonanza, and Tuna Hotspots
    2025/06/15
    Artificial Lure here with your up-to-the-minute Gulf of Mexico Louisiana fishing report for June 15, 2025.

    Sunrise this morning was at 6:01am, and you can fish all the way 'til sunset at 8:03pm. We’re blessed with long, warm days—water temps are steady near 80 degrees, perfect for both inshore and offshore runs. The tide’s running moderate, no major flood tides expected, but always check for local weather changes as NOAA’s still calling for an above-normal hurricane season, and we’ve seen those sneaky pop-up storms hugging the coast recently.

    Inshore, the bite’s been classic June. Speckled trout are thick at Shell Beach and Hopedale—this is hands-down prime time, with folks pulling limits of solid keepers most mornings. The best action is coming on live shrimp under popping corks around the oyster reefs, but don’t sleep on soft plastics like the Heddon Super Zara Spook or Matrix Shad in glow/chartreuse for topwater action at first light. You’ll see hungry redfish too, especially working the grass lines and points with gold spoons or cut mullet. Hopedale’s been giving up big slot reds, and drum are mixed in for those fishing dead shrimp on bottom.

    Offshore’s a bonanza, especially out of Venice and Grand Isle. Right now, it’s peak red snapper season—boats are coming back loaded, with anglers easily hitting their snapper limits by midday. Alongside red snapper, you’ll spot plenty of vermillion and lane snapper, plus the occasional cobia, gag grouper, or even a shark if you drop to the bottom around the rigs and structure. The big boys—yellowfin tuna—are close in near Venice, according to Captain Experiences, and wahoo are starting to show up for those trolling deeper runs.

    For bait, live shrimp and pogies are king inshore, but plastics in natural and chartreuse are steady producers. Offshore, cut bait and squid are hard to beat for snapper, but vertical jigs are also seeing plenty of action, especially if you want to avoid the sharks.

    As far as hot spots, Shell Beach and Hopedale are top picks for trout and reds this week—anglers are raving about the steady bite on moving tides. Offshore, Venice is the launch pad for trophy snapper and tuna, with Grand Isle and Port Sulphur also delivering the goods.

    That’s your morning update—get all your gear before you leave the dock. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily dose of Gulf Coast fishing action. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • "Louisiana's Coastal Bounty: Trout, Reds, and Offshore Gems"

    "Louisiana's Coastal Bounty: Trout, Reds, and Offshore Gems"
    2025/06/14
    Y'all, it's Artificial Lure here with your June 14, 2025, fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and our beautiful Louisiana coast. It's a fantastic day to be on the water, with the sun rising at about 6:01 AM and setting at 8:05 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to catch some big ones.

    The weather is looking great, with water temperatures around 80 degrees, perfect for both inshore and offshore fishing. Remember, we're in the midst of hurricane season, so keep an eye on those weather updates. According to the tides, we're experiencing a gentle rise and fall, which should help bring in some fish.

    Inshore, speckled trout, redfish, and Spanish mackerel are biting well. My buddy Chas Champagne is having a blast fishing for speckled trout on Lake Borgne, and Shell Beach and Hopedale are hotspots for inshore action. If you're looking for lures, I recommend using a topwater lure like the MirrOlure She Dog or a spinnerbait to get those redfish explosive strikes. The Z-Man Chatterbait is another favorite that works wonders in murky waters.

    Offshore, Venice is the place to be for red snapper, vermillion snappers, and even some cobia. Andrew Bateman recently caught a massive Warsaw grouper near a West Delta rig out of Venice, so you know the action is on. For bait, live shrimp and squid are always winners, but don't forget to try some jigs and spoons for those deeper fish.

    If you're looking for a great spot to cast your line, consider the waters around Grand Isle or Port Sulphur for a mix of inshore and offshore action. And don't forget about the bayous and marshes around Cocodrie; they're always full of surprises.

    Thanks for tuning in, folks Remember to always check your gear before heading out and stay safe on the water. If you want more fishing insights, be sure to subscribe to our podcast. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
