Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 24, 2025. Let me tell you, the bite's been hotter than a crawfish boil lately!

We're looking at a high tide around 7:32 PM today, with a low tide earlier at 11:59 AM. Sunrise was at 7:10 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:27 PM. Weather's been mighty fine, with temperatures in the low 70s and a light breeze coming off the Gulf.

Now, let's talk fish. Redfish have been tearing it up in the marshes and along the coast. Folks have been hauling in some real beauties, with several reports of 30-inchers coming in. Speckled trout are starting to show up in good numbers too, especially around the oyster reefs and deeper holes.

For you redfish hunters, I've been having a lot of luck with the MirrOlure She Dog topwater lure, especially in the early morning and late evening. When the sun's high, switching to a Z-man spinner bait or a gold spoon has been the ticket. Don't forget about those Berkley Gulp! Shrimp either - them reds can't resist 'em.

If you're after specks, try throwing a MirrOlure MirrOdine or a Matrix Shad soft plastic on a 1/4 oz jighead. Work them slow and steady, and you'll be filling your cooler in no time.

For live bait enthusiasts, shrimp and croakers have been producing well. Just remember to keep 'em lively!

As for hot spots, the marsh around Cocodrie has been on fire lately. If you're willing to make the trip, Venice is always a good bet for some monster reds. For those staying closer to home, the Rigolets and Lake Borgne have been producing some nice catches too.

Don't forget, we're still in that transition period, so be prepared to change up your tactics if the fish ain't biting. And remember, a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work!

That's all for now, folks. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing y'all tight lines and bent rods. See you on the water!

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!

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Louisiana fishing report for March 22, 2025. The tides are looking good today with a low tide of 0.2 feet at 9:45 AM and a high tide of 1.5 feet at 3:22 PM. Sunrise was at 6:58 AM, and we're looking at a sunset around 7:12 PM.

Weather-wise, we're in for a beautiful day with partly cloudy skies and temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s. Winds are light and variable, making for some calm waters out there.

Fish activity has been picking up lately as we're getting into that sweet spring pattern. Redfish have been on fire, especially around the marsh edges and oyster reefs. Folks have been hauling in some nice bulls in the 20-30 inch range. For reds, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a soft plastic under a popping cork.

Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too. They're hitting well on live shrimp under a cork, but if you're an artificial guy like me, try a MirrOlure MirrOdine or a Matrix Shad in opening night color. The trout have been hanging around deeper channels and drop-offs.

Black drum are still in the mix, and they're sucking up cracked crab like it's going out of style. If you're looking for a good fight, try hooking into one of these big uglies.

For you bass fishermen, the largemouth bite has been heating up in the backwaters. Chatterbaits and wacky-rigged Senkos have been doing the trick.

As for hotspots, Calcasieu Lake has been producing some nice trout, while Vermilion Bay is giving up good numbers of reds. If you're willing to make the run, Venice is always a solid bet for big bulls.

Remember, a bad day fishing is still better than a good day at work. So get out there, wet a line, and let me know how y'all do. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing you tight lines!

Alright y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Louisiana fishing report for March 21, 2025. The sun's coming up at 7:02 AM and setting at 7:13 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties.

Weather's looking mighty fine today, with temps in the mid-70s and a light southeast breeze. We've got a high tide coming in around 3:40 PM, so plan accordingly. The fish have been mighty active lately, especially them reds and specks.

Speaking of which, the redfish bite has been on fire! Anglers have been hauling in bulls over 30 inches near the marsh edges and oyster reefs. For you speckled trout enthusiasts, they've been schooling up nicely around the gas platforms and along the beaches. We've even seen a few gator trout in the 5-pound range.

Now, for the secret sauce - what's been working? For them reds, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a soft plastic in chartreuse or white. If you're chasing specks, try throwing a MirrOlure or a DOA shrimp under a popping cork. Live shrimp and croakers have been killer for both species if you're into live bait.

As for hot spots, Barataria Bay has been producing some nice catches, especially around the islands. If you're looking to stay closer to shore, the Fourchon area has been red hot for both reds and specks.

Don't forget about them black drum either. They've been thick around the bridges and deep holes, and they'll readily take a piece of fresh crab or market shrimp on the bottom.

Remember, folks, the fish are out there and they're hungry. So grab your gear, hit the water, and let's make some memories. This is Artificial Lure, signing off and wishing y'all tight lines!

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast fishing report for March 17, 2025.

Sunrise was at 7:14 AM and sunset's gonna be at 7:06 PM. We've got a high tide coming in around 8:44 PM tonight. Weather's looking decent - partly cloudy with a high of 75°F and light southeast winds at 5-10 mph.

Fishing's been pretty darn good lately, especially for speckled trout and redfish. Water temps are warming up nicely, sitting around 68°F in most spots. The trout have been biting well on soft plastics like the Matrix Shad in chartreuse and the Z-Man MinnowZ in electric chicken. For redfish, gold spoons and Gulp! shrimp under a popping cork have been money.

Last week, we saw some nice catches coming in from Calcasieu Lake and Vermilion Bay. A few fellas limited out on specks, with most fish in the 2-3 pound range. The reds have been thick in the marsh, with quite a few bulls in the 20-30 pound class being caught and released.

If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the oyster reefs in Barataria Bay or the grass flats near Cocodrie. The Fourchon area's been producing well too, especially on moving tides.

For live bait, shrimp and croakers are your best bet right now. But don't overlook cut mullet for those big reds.

Remember, the solunar tables are showing peak fish activity from about 6:30 to 8:30 AM and again from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. So plan your trips accordingly, cher.

That's all for now, folks. Get out there and catch you some fish! This is Artificial Lure, signing off.

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!

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!

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Gulf Coast Louisiana fishing report for March 14, 2025.

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!
