Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 11, 2025. Let me tell you, the fishing's been hotter than a crawfish boil lately!

We've got a high tide coming in around 9:46 PM tonight, with the low tide earlier at 7:34 AM. The water's been rising steadily, so keep that in mind when you're picking your spots. Sunrise was at 7:13 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:06 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones.

Weather-wise, we're looking at a typical early spring pattern with some wild swings. Today's mostly sunny with a high near 75°F, but keep an eye out for those afternoon thunderstorms that might roll in later this week.

Now, let's talk fish. The redfish have been on fire, especially in the marsh areas. We've had reports of some real bulls being caught and released - I'm talking 30-pounders, folks! Speckled trout are starting to show up more consistently too, with some nice catches coming in from the deeper holes in Pass Manchac.

For you bass anglers, the action's been picking up as they fatten up for spawning season. They're hitting hard on spinnerbaits and topwater lures early in the morning, then switching to crankbaits and jigs as the day wears on.

Lure-wise, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon for those reds. For specks, try a MirrOlure MirrOdine or a Z-Man ChatterBait. If you're after bass, the Heddon Zara Spook has been working wonders. Live bait's always a good bet too - market shrimp or live minnows will do the trick.

For you hot spot seekers, I'd recommend giving the Rigolets a shot or heading out to the Biloxi Marsh. The Pearl River's also been producing some nice catches as the rising water's pushing crawfish into the bayous.

Remember, the fish are there, you just gotta outsmart 'em! Tight lines, y'all, and laissez les bon temps rouler!
