Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Louisiana fishing report for March 14, 2025. The tides are looking good today with a high of 0.93 feet at 7:48 AM and a low of 0.07 feet at 2:54 PM. We've got partly cloudy skies with a high of 72°F and light winds out of the southeast at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 7:12 AM and sunset will be at 7:07 PM.

Fish activity has been picking up as we move into spring. Redfish and speckled trout have been the main targets lately. Some anglers are limiting out on reds in the 5-8 pound range, with a few bulls in the 20-30 pound class mixed in. Trout have been a bit more scattered but we're seeing some nice 2-4 pounders.

For redfish, cut mullet has been the hot bait. Fresh shrimp and mud minnows are working well too. Artificials-wise, gold spoons, spinner baits, and soft plastics like Matrix Shad in various colors have all been producing. For trout, live shrimp under a popping cork is always a good bet. Topwater lures like MirrOlure She Dogs have been getting some explosive strikes early in the morning.

Some hot spots to try are the Biloxi Marsh area, especially around the outer islands, and Redfish Bay down near Venice. The rocks and pilings around the Causeway Bridge in Lake Pontchartrain have been holding some nice trout too.

Remember to keep an eye on that weather as spring fronts can blow in quickly. Tight lines, y'all!
