16 MAR 2025 · Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 16, 2025. Let me tell you, the bite's been hotter than a crawfish boil lately!
We've got a low tide coming in around 5:42 AM this morning, with the high tide rolling in at 1:32 PM. The water's been rising steadily, so keep that in mind when you're picking your spots. Sunrise was at 6:59 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:59 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in the big ones.
Weather-wise, we're looking at a typical early spring pattern. 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.
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!

15 MAR 2025 · Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 15, 2025. Let me tell you, the fishing's been hotter than a crawfish boil lately!
We're looking at a partly cloudy day with temps in the mid-70s and winds around 10-15 mph out of the southeast. Sunrise was at 7:09 AM and sunset will be at 7:09 PM. As for tides, we've got a low tide at 3:53 AM measuring about 0.05 feet, and a high tide at 8:35 PM hitting 0.2 feet[5].
Now let's talk fish. The redfish and speckled trout have been on fire in the marsh. Anglers have been limiting out on both species, with some real gators in the mix. I'm talking 5-6 pound trout, cher! The redfish have been thick around oyster reefs and along the grass lines[1].
For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a chartreuse/white soft plastic under a popping cork. If you're looking to throw topwater, the MirrOlure She Dog in bone color has been crushing it early morning and late evening[1][6]. For live bait, shrimp under a cork is always a winner.
Don't forget about the largemouth bass either. They've been hitting hard in the backwaters, especially around fallen timber. Throw a watermelon red Senko or a junebug-colored creature bait and hold on tight[1]!
As for hot spots, Calcasieu Lake has been producing some monster trout, and the Biloxi Marsh area is always a good bet for reds. If you're looking to stay closer to New Orleans, the MRGO rocks have been holding some nice fish too[1][3].
Remember, folks, the fish are biting, but they won't jump in the boat for you. Get out there and tight lines!

14 MAR 2025 · 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!

15 FEB 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Louisiana, on this fine Saturday, February 15, 2025.
First off, let's talk about the tides. For Lake Charles, we're looking at a low tide at 4:00 AM and a high tide at 9:23 AM, with another low tide at 3:52 PM and a final high tide at 9:46 PM[2]. Over at Lake Pontchartrain, the high tide is at 9:37 AM and the low tide at 4:39 PM[5].
The weather is relatively calm, with sunrise at 6:52 AM and sunset at 6:01 PM. The moonset is at 8:31 AM and moonrise at 9:03 PM, which could influence fish activity, especially during the transition periods.
Now, let's dive into the fish activity. February can be a great time for catching some big bass and other species, despite the sometimes harsh conditions. Around Lake Pontchartrain, anglers like Jamey Cursi have been having success catching blue catfish near the bridges, which is a good sign for other bottom-dwelling species as well[1].
For those targeting redfish, February is an excellent month. John Guillot swears by using spoons to cover a lot of water and catch reds effectively[1]. If you're in the Lake Charles area, consider using spinnerbaits like the Z-Man Chatterbait or the Bass Assassin Red Daddy, which perform well in murky waters common in the Calcasieu and Sabine lakes[3].
Speckled trout are also active, especially in areas like Geoghegan Canal. Here, you might want to use lures like the Mega Matrix Shad, which has become a go-to for many saltwater fishermen[1].
In terms of specific hot spots, Geoghegan Canal is a legendary spot for speckled trout. Follow a game plan that involves understanding the canal's structure and using the right lures to maximize your chances of success[1].
Another hot spot is the bridges near Lake Pontchartrain. Here, you can catch a variety of fish, including blue catfish and potentially some redfish and trout. The bridges provide a good structure for fish to congregate around.
For bait, live shrimp and soft plastics are always a good choice. For redfish, using shrimp imitations, live shrimp, or paddle tails can be very effective, especially around rocks and drains[4]. If you're after bigger fish like oversized redfish, cut crab and Spanish sardines can work wonders near areas like Alcatraz Island[4].
In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With the right lures and bait, and an understanding of the tides and fish behavior, you're set for a productive and enjoyable fishing trip in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana. So grab your gear, and let's catch some fish

14 FEB 2025 · Hey there, folks It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Louisiana.
First off, let's talk about the tides. For today, February 14th, we're looking at a high tide at 8:51 AM and a low tide at 7:08 PM, according to the tide forecasts[2].
The weather is looking pretty decent, with temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s across the region. Sunrise is at 6:40 AM, and sunset will be at 5:48 PM, giving us a good window to get out on the water.
Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, the waters around Louisiana have been producing some excellent catches. In the Gulf Coast areas, anglers have been having a blast catching redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and even some sheepshead. The surf along the jetties and beaches has been particularly active, with reports of huge black drum, occasional speckled trout, and a few sharks[1].
For those fishing in the bays and estuaries, live shrimp have been the go-to bait. Anglers are using live shrimp to catch redfish, drum, and sheepshead, especially around structures like rocks and reeds. Soft plastics and live shrimp are also working well for speckled trout in areas like Trinity Bay and West Galveston Bay[1].
If you're looking to use artificial lures, spoons are an excellent choice for surf fishing. The Kastmaster by Acme Tackle Co. is highly recommended for its aerodynamics and effectiveness in catching a variety of fish, including redfish and trout[4].
Here are a couple of hot spots to consider:
1. **Bolivar Peninsula**: This area has been producing lots of redfish, huge black drum, and occasional speckled trout. The surf here is particularly active, especially towards Gilchrist and High Island[1].
2. **Port Aransas**: The north and south jetties here are great for catching redfish on live shrimp, and oversized redfish are biting on cut crab and mullet. Trout are also fair on shrimp free-lined along rocks, and oversized black drums are great on shrimp and cut crab[1].
In summary, today looks like a great day to get out on the water. With the right tides, decent weather, and the right bait or lures, you're set for a productive and fun day of fishing. Remember to stay safe, wear your kill switch, and always be prepared.
Happy fishing, y'all

12 FEB 2025 · Hey there, folks It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Louisiana.
First off, let's talk about the weather and tidal conditions. As of today, February 12, 2025, the weather is looking pretty mild, which is perfect for a day out on the water. According to the forecast, we're expecting southeast to south winds at about 10 to 15 knots, with seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet[5].
Now, let's dive into the tidal report. For New Orleans, the high tide today is at 7:33 AM with a height of 0.01 feet, and the low tide is at 7:28 PM with a height of -0.33 feet[2]. These conditions are ideal for targeting species that are active during the changing tides.
Sunrise today is at 6:42 AM, and sunset is at 5:47 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get out there and catch some fish.
Fish activity has been robust lately, especially with the mild weather. Redfish, trout, and sheepshead are some of the most common catches in these waters. For redfish and trout, topwater lures and crankbaits have been working wonders. If you're after sheepshead, live or artificial baits that mimic shrimp or crabs are your best bet[1].
If you're venturing offshore, live bait is the way to go. Hardtails, also known as blue runners, are excellent for catching bigger game like wahoo, dorado, tuna, and even marlin. These baitfish are easy to catch around oil rigs and wrecks using jigs and sabikis[3].
For some hot spots, I recommend checking out the areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the Mississippi River Delta. These regions are known for their rich fish populations and diverse habitats. Another great spot is the Flower Garden Bank Marine Sanctuary, which is a bit further offshore but offers a chance to catch some of the bigger species.
In summary, today is shaping up to be a fantastic day for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around Louisiana. With mild weather, favorable tidal conditions, and a variety of active fish species, you're in for a treat. Grab your gear, whether it's topwater lures for redfish and trout or live bait for the bigger offshore catches, and get ready for an exciting day on the water.
Happy fishing, y'all

12 FEB 2025 · Hey there, folks It's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, as of February 12, 2025.
First off, let's talk about the weather and tides. Today, we're looking at a high tide at 7:33 AM with a height of about 0.01 feet, and a low tide at 7:28 PM with a height of -0.33 feet, according to the tide forecast for New Orleans[2].
The sun rises at 6:42 AM and sets at 5:47 PM, giving us a good window to get out on the water. The weather is mild, which is perfect for fishing. This time of year, we're seeing a rebound in our local fishery due to the warming weather and water temperatures[5].
Now, let's dive into the fish activity. Recently, we've been seeing a lot of redfish, trout, and sheepshead in the inshore waters. These fish are active and hungry, especially with the cooler water temperatures making them more aggressive[5].
For inshore fishing, topwater lures and crankbaits are doing wonders. These lures mimic the natural baitfish that these species love to chase. If you're looking for something a bit more traditional, live bait like pogies, hardtails, and spot croakers are always a hit. Hardtails, in particular, are easy to catch around oil rigs and wrecks and are very durable, making them ideal for targeting bigger species like red snapper, cobia, and even marlin[3].
If you prefer artificial lures, I recommend using mirror lures like the Catch 2000. These lures have great movement and reflection, which attract fish like redfish, snook, and Spanish mackerel. They also have a good weight, allowing you to cast them far out and work them back towards the surf[4].
For hot spots, I suggest checking out the areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the Louisiana coastline. The oyster beds to the south and near the coast are also producing some great catches. If you're feeling adventurous, head out to the offshore oil and gas platforms, wrecks, and reefs where you can find a wide range of target species[3][5].
In summary, today is a great day to get out on the water. With mild weather, favorable tides, and active fish, you're set up for a successful fishing trip. Remember to choose the right lures or bait, and don't hesitate to explore those hot spots. Tight lines, everyone

10 FEB 2025 · Hey there, fellow anglers, it's your buddy Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share today's fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, particularly around Louisiana.
First off, let's talk about the tides. For today, February 10, 2025, the tidal conditions are looking favorable. We have a high tide at 5:45 AM with a height of about 0.04 feet, and a low tide at 6:06 PM with a height of -0.41 feet. Sunrise is at 6:44 AM, and sunset will be at 5:45 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get out there and reel in some big ones.
The weather is looking pretty good out there, with light winds and relatively stable conditions, which is great news for us fishermen. Despite the winter season, fish activity has been robust lately. Recently, the waters around Louisiana's Gulf Coast have been producing some great catches.
Anglers have been reporting good catches of redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. Redfish have been particularly active in the shallow waters and along structures like oysters and mud flats. For targeting redfish, topwater plugs and the Berkley Gulp Saltwater lineup, especially the Jerk Shad in New Penny color, have been highly effective. In murky waters, spinnerbaits like the Z-Man Chatterbait and Strike King Redfish Magic are also doing well.
Speckled trout are biting well in the morning near deeper waters, and as the afternoon warms up, they tend to follow the bait onto the flats. Throwing shrimp under a pop cork or using Gulp and Down South lures with a ¼-3/8 ounce jig has been successful for trout.
Sheepshead are also biting well, especially around structures like jetties and reefs. Live or artificial baits that mimic crabs or shrimp can be very effective for sheepshead.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I recommend checking out Lake Pontchartrain and the surrounding bays. The areas around the oyster beds and mud flats in these waters have been producing some fantastic catches of redfish and trout. Another spot worth mentioning is the jetties and reefs near New Orleans, where sheepshead and black drum have been quite active.
In summary, today's conditions are perfect for getting out on the water. With favorable tides, good weather, and robust fish activity, you've got a great chance of landing some big ones. So grab your gear, pick your favorite lure, and head out to the Gulf of Mexico – it's going to be a great day of fishing
