Gulf Coast LA Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, and Perfect Conditions
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Louisiana fishing report for March 23, 2025. The sun's peeking up at 6:56 AM and will set at 7:09 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.
We're looking at a low tide around 2:30 AM and a high tide coming in at 3:15 PM. Water temps are holding steady in the upper 60s to low 70s, which means the fish are getting more active. The weather's cooperating too, with partly cloudy skies and light winds - perfect conditions for a day on the water.
Folks have been hauling in some nice catches lately. Redfish are biting well, especially around the oyster reefs and mud flats. I've heard reports of some real bulls being caught, pushing 30 inches or more. Speckled trout are starting to show up in good numbers too, with anglers finding success in deeper channels and around grass beds.
For you redfish hunters, gold spoons are still the go-to lure. A half-ounce Johnson Silver Minnow in gold or copper is hard to beat. If you're working shallower water, try downsizing to a quarter-ounce. For soft plastics, the Berkley Gulp shrimp in new penny color rigged on a 1/4 oz jighead is producing well.
Trout anglers are having luck with suspending baits like the MirrOlure MirrOdine and Catch 2000. Work these slowly in the middle of the water column. Early mornings and late evenings, don't forget to throw some topwater - a Zara Spook or MirrOlure She Dog can lead to some explosive strikes.
Live bait is always a solid choice. Fresh shrimp under a popping cork is deadly for both reds and specks. If you can get your hands on some live mullet or croakers, even better.
For you hot spot seekers, Calcasieu Lake is firing up nicely. The Washout and the West Cove are both producing good numbers of trout. Over in Vermilion Bay, redfish are thick around Marsh Island and in the Fearman Lake area.
Remember, as the water warms up, those fish will be moving into shallower areas to feed. Keep an eye out for bait activity and birds working the water - that's your ticket to a full cooler.
Alright, folks, that's the scoop for today. Get out there, stay safe, and tight lines!
