Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report Today

Artificial Lure here with your June 13, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Louisiana fishing report. We’re rolling deep into summer, and the bite is red hot from the marshes out to blue water.

Sunrise kicked off the day at 6:01am, with sunset set for 8:03pm, so there’s plenty of daylight for long drifts and deep drops. Today’s weather sees partly cloudy skies, highs peaking near 88°F, and a steady southern breeze—a classic summer day for the Sportsman’s Paradise. Tides are moderate, with a high around mid-morning and another push just before dusk. No major flood tides expected, but keep an eye on the radar; NOAA still warns of occasional pop-up storms, so don’t get caught off guard.

Inshore, the speckled trout are still stacked up and smashing topwaters early—think bone-colored Zara Spooks or MirrOlure She Dogs over oyster reefs from Shell Beach to Hopedale. Soft plastics like Matrix Shad in “shrimp creole” or “holy joely” colors on quarter-ounce jigheads are also pulling numbers when the sun gets high. According to Louisiana Sportsman, anglers are regularly landing full stringers out of Delacroix, Hopedale, and all the way to Grand Isle. Reds are cruising the banks in the marsh—live shrimp under a popping cork is unbeatable, but gold spoons and Gulp! Swimming Mullet in “new penny” are both sure bets. Expect a good mix of keeper slot reds with some bruiser bulls thrown in.

Offshore, it’s the heart of red snapper season and Grand Isle, Venice, and Port Fourchon are the launchpads for limits. The bite is thick around oil rigs and artificial reefs in 80–200 feet. Drop down cut pogies, squid, or a big bucktail jig tipped with soft plastic. Along with snapper, anglers are boating lane and vermillion snapper, grouper, and even the occasional cobia and shark. Reports out of Boothville-Venice mention yellowfin tuna and wahoo showing up closer in, with live hardtails or trolling diving plugs doing the trick.

A couple of hot spots to focus on: Shell Beach for sunrise trout and marsh reds, and the mid-shelf rigs out of Venice for red snapper and bigger pelagics. Don’t forget the floating platforms southwest of Grand Isle—they’re holding some nice snapper and the odd mahi-mahi this week.

To round it off, get your gear ready the night before, carry live shrimp and a spread of plastics, and watch that afternoon squall line.

Good morning y’all, this is Artificial Lure, bringing you your June 11, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Louisiana fishing report.

Sunrise was bright and early at 6:01am, giving us a full day’s worth of fishing action before sunset rolls in at 8:03pm. The weather’s in our favor—warm and humid with light winds off the Gulf, and water temps hovering around 80 degrees. That means baitfish are thick along the coast, and both inshore and offshore species are heating up their bite. While there’s no major flood tide expected today, it’s always wise to keep one eye on the sky since NOAA is keeping us on alert for a potentially active hurricane season, and those quick coastal storms have been popping up some afternoons along the marshes and the barrier islands.

Inshore, the bite is absolutely on fire. Speckled trout have been stacked up from Shell Beach to Hopedale and east toward Breton Sound. Captain Mike Callahan says June is one of the best months for inshore action here. Most folks are limiting out early, finding mixed bags of solid trout and the occasional flounder when working live shrimp under popping corks or pitching artificial lures like the MirrOlure She Dog topwater early, then switching to Matrix Shad soft plastics on 1/4-ounce jigheads once the sun gets higher.

Redfish action is strong in the canes and marsh edges from Pointe a la Hache down to Delacroix and east over toward Bayou Bienvenue. Best results are coming on spinnerbaits—especially the Z-Man Chatterbait and the Strike King Redfish Magic, with anglers pitching into pockets of grass or right up against the cane. These baits get thumped hard in the stained water we’re seeing after the last run of storms.

Offshore, Venice is the place to be—this is peak red snapper season, and charters are pulling up beautiful limits daily. There’s also plenty of vermilion and lane snapper, gag and red grouper, and folks bottom fishing are picking up cobia and the occasional shark. John D. from Boothville-Venice reports big yellowfin tuna are closer in this week, and wahoo are starting to show as the blue water pushes in.

Hot spots for today: For inshore, hit the oyster reefs and deeper cuts in Bay Eloi or hop the rigs in Lake Borgne; for offshore, try West Delta and Main Pass out of Venice for snapper and tuna. Don’t forget to bring a selection of topwaters and spinnerbaits for reds, and live shrimp or croakers for the bigger trout.

That’s the bite for June 11th around Louisiana’s Gulf coast. Thanks for tuning in to your daily fishing report with Artificial Lure—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a hot tip or a hot spot. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Good morning y’all, Artificial Lure here with your June 11, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Louisiana fishing report. We’re deep into the heart of summer fishing, and let me tell you: it’s hot on the water and even hotter in the bite.

Sunrise today jumped at 6:01am, with sunset stretching all the way to 8:03pm, giving us plenty of daylight to chase a cooler full of fish. Water temps are holding steady around 80 degrees, and with the last week bringing mostly stable weather, that baitfish spawn is in full swing. Light winds early, heavier by the afternoon, with a couple of pop-up showers possible out over the bays—so keep one eye on the sky. Tides are running moderate, with the best movement mid-morning and late afternoon, prime for those bigger inshore predators.

The inshore bite is still headlined by speckled trout and redfish. Shell Beach and Hopedale are absolutely on fire for trout—limits are common, especially from sun-up till about 10am. Popping corks paired with live shrimp or Matrix Shad in lemonhead and shrimp creole colors are hard to beat. Soft plastics and topwater plugs like the Heddon Super Spook Jr. are pulling aggressive strikes early, especially over the grass beds and oyster reefs. For redfish, marsh drains and points loaded with moving water are producing, with gold spoons and Gulp! crab on a jig head being the ticket. Plenty of slot reds and more than a few bulls caught this week.

Offshore, Venice is where you want to be: red snapper season is in high gear, and boats out of Venice, Grand Isle, and Buras are regularly limiting out on healthy fish, along with good numbers of vermillion and lane snapper. The deeper rigs have been holding big red grouper and some surprise cobia as well. Drop down cut squid or menhaden and don’t be afraid to use a larger jig for those bigger snapper and grouper. Plus, Captain John D. out of Boothville-Venice reports some hefty yellowfin and even a few wahoo getting close in, so if you’re feeling lucky, break out the heavy tackle!

Hot spots right now:

- Shell Beach for speckled trout—especially early.

- Marsh edges near Hopedale for redfish, particularly around the drains with moving water.

- Venice-area rigs for snapper, grouper, and the chance at yellowfin.

If you’re bank or kayak fishing, the Bayou Bienvenue and Breton Sound areas are both turning up solid trout and reds. Bait shrimp are thick, and even blue crab are making a run in the marshes—so don’t be shy about using fresh bait.

Artificial Lure here with your June 11th, 2025, fishing report straight from the marshes and bays of the Louisiana Gulf Coast, where the summer bite is every bit as hot as the forecast. Sunrise hit us around 6:18 AM and you’ll have lines in the water until sundown at about 7:23 PM, so there’s plenty of time to chase limits and fill coolers before the evening breeze sets in. Today’s weather is seasonably warm—highs pushing into the upper 80s—and the southeast wind is staying manageable at 6-10 knots, picking up just a touch after lunch. Water temps are holding between 75 and 78 degrees, primo for keeping those inshore species fired up.

Tidal movement looks spot on, too. With a high tide rolling in near mid-morning and an outgoing tide all afternoon, you’ll see bait getting pushed out of the marsh and predators setting up on those moving edges. Fish those pinch points, drains, and bayou mouths—especially on the major feed as the water starts falling.

The action in June has been absolutely on fire in spots like Shell Beach and Hopedale, and that trend continues. Local guides and weekend warriors are stacking up nice boxes of speckled trout, limits on more than a few recent trips. Trout have been hitting live shrimp under popping corks, but don’t sleep on artificials—Matrix Shad and Vudu Shrimp have both been producing, especially at the rigs in Lake Borgne and over the oyster reefs near Bay Eloi. According to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report, the speckled trout bite is “on fire” and red snapper season has also kicked off offshore with some real studs reported coming in from the West Delta blocks.

Redfish are right where you expect them—on the grass edges, oyster bars, and current sweeps. Folks are finding a mixed bag from slot reds to oversize bulls. Black spinnerbaits, gold spoons, and soft plastics like Gulp! Swimming Mullet are the local favorites. After that morning feed, bull reds are cruising the outer bays and cuts. Sheepshead are thick around the pilings and rocks, especially when you tip a jighead with fresh shrimp or fiddler crabs, according to Captain Experiences.

If you’re hunting hotspots, today’s picks are Shell Beach for unbeatable trout action and the grass flats outside Hopedale for redfish—both are seeing heavy schools working the tides. Don’t forget to try the outer Biloxi Marsh for a shot at bigger bull reds and maybe even some surprise triple tail or mackerel, just like Victory Bay Charters has been reporting lately.

Spinnerbaits, especially the Z-Man Chatterbait and Strike King Redfish Magic, remain stellar choices for redfish in these stained waters, where their vibration and flash get those aggressive strikes—Saltwater Sportsman says they’re top picks for Louisiana reds every summer.

Artificial Lure here with your June 11, 2025, Gulf of Mexico Louisiana fishing report, talking like we do down here on the dock. Today’s shaping up classic mid-June: muggy, southerly winds, starting warm and only getting hotter as the sun climbs. We had sunrise at 6:01 a.m. and you’ll see sunset at 8:04 p.m., so you’ve got plenty of daylight to chase those linesiders. As for the tides, we saw a big incoming push early, peaking about mid-morning, then easing out this afternoon—just what you want for morning action.

Weather’s typical early summer—temperatures climbing into the high 80s, with humidity making it feel every bit as sticky. Watch for afternoon pop-up storms, especially if you’re running out past the jetties. The water clarity is solid around Shell Beach but a little muddy in Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borgne, though things are clearing and the fish are moving[2][4].

Fish activity? It’s been red hot. The speckled trout bite is absolutely on fire right now all around Shell Beach, Hopedale, and the Biloxi Marsh. Folks have been stacking limits before breakfast, with some real slabs mixed in. Trout are holding on points, oyster reefs, and the deeper edges of the MRGO rocks—one of the top hot spots this week, according to several local guides and the Louisiana Sportsman. The redfish bite remains steady, especially around the grass edges and marsh drains, though you’ll want to fish that last hour of the incoming tide and first hour of the fall for best results[1][5].

Big news, too: Red snapper season’s rolling and folks running out to the rigs and nearshore reefs are limiting early—many before 10 a.m. Out of Delacroix and Grand Isle, anglers are icing down snapper along with bonus mangroves and porgies. Don’t sleep on sheepshead and black drum, either; the bite’s been hot on the bridges and rock piles, with easy limits coming to those soaking bait around the structure[2][6].

Live shrimp is king for everything right now, fished under a popping cork for trout and reds, or on a Carolina rig near structure for snapper. For artificial lovers, it’s hard to beat a chartreuse Matrix Shad or Vudu Shrimp under a cork, and topwater plugs early have been getting blown up by bigger trout and slot reds. For snapper, try jigging a bucktail tipped with squid or pogie chunks.

Hot spots to circle on your chart: Shell Beach and the MRGO rocks are primo for specks and reds, while Breton Sound rigs are producing easy snapper limits. Head to Hopedale’s outer bays for mixed bags, and don’t skip the Lake Borgne shorelines for morning trout and the occasional flounder.

Artificial Lure here with your June 7th, 2025, narrative from down in the bayou, bringing you the latest on what’s biting in and around Louisiana’s Gulf coast.

Sunrise rolled in at 6:01 this morning, with sunset stretching out till 8:03 tonight, giving us those long summer days anglers love. Water temps are holding around a balmy 80 degrees, just right for both inshore and offshore action. No flood tides expected this month, but keep your radio handy—NOAA's eyeing an active hurricane season, and there’s been the occasional pop-up thunderstorm along the coast.

Fishing’s been as hot as the gumbo pot. Inshore, speckled trout are absolutely on fire. Reports from Shell Beach and Hopedale say limits are coming easy, especially early before the sun starts baking. Anglers are hitting it big running from rig to rig in Lake Borgne, chasing those motherlodes of trout. Venice, Grand Isle, and Empire are also shining for trout and slot reds. For reds, target the edges of the cane and oyster reefs—spinnerbaits, gold spoons, and live shrimp under a popping cork are putting big fish in the box.

Red snapper season is in full swing offshore, and charters outta Venice, Grand Isle, Port Sulphur, and Buras are all pulling solid limits. Big snapper are holding close to the rigs and any hard bottom you can find. Alongside them come some bonus vermillion and lane snapper, occasional cobia, and if you’re lucky, a shot at a shark or even a big Warsaw grouper. According to Captain Experiences, yellowfin tuna have moved in closer, with some wahoo showing up—it's a good time to troll deep-divers or drift live baits out near the shelf edges.

Bait-wise, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp, menhaden, or finger mullet for inshore species. If you’re chunking lures, Heddon Super Zara Spooks, Matrix Shad soft plastics, and spinnerbaits (as Capt. C.A. shows on Flats Class YouTube) are all producing, especially on low tides when fish concentrate along cane edges and drop-offs. For offshore snapper and grouper, dead pogies or squid are the go-to, but don’t shy away from a big live hardtail if you want a shot at that grouper of a lifetime.

For hotspots this weekend, you gotta check out:

- Shell Beach and Hopedale: premier for speckled trout and reds, especially at sunrise when the topwater bite is hot.

- Venice: best jump-off for snapper, tuna, and grouper. Work the offshore rigs and shelf edges for the big ones.

That’s the scoop from the coast—get out early, watch the sky, and don’t forget to check your gear before you leave the dock.

Artificial Lure here with your June 6, 2025, fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana coast.

Sunrise hit at 6:01am, with sunset set for a long 8:03pm, giving us prime daylight hours. Tides are running moderate today—Louisiana’s marshes and bays are seeing average movement, so expect workable current but no extreme conditions. Water temperatures are holding steady close to 80 degrees, which has been the sweet spot for big catches all week. Expect a light early morning breeze with the potential for pop-up storms by afternoon, as NOAA is still warning of an above-normal hurricane season—so always keep an ear to the weather radio before launching.

The bite has been absolutely on fire. According to recent field reports from Louisiana Sportsman and Shoofly Magazine, the speckled trout bite is hot across Shell Beach, Hopedale, and down toward St. Bernard—these inshore waters are loaded with baitfish, and trout have been stacking up behind the points and along outer marsh edges. Most folks are limiting out early, especially when working live shrimp under popping corks or downsizing to Matrix Shad soft plastics in glow, shrimp creole, or opening night patterns. When the tide moves, don’t sleep on topwater—walk-the-dog lures like a Spook Jr. or She Dog in bone or chrome are drawing explosive strikes at first light.

Redfish are doing what redfish do best: cruising the grass edges and oyster-laden points in two to four feet of water. Folks are weeding through some undersized reds around Hopedale and Lake Borgne, but the slot and bull reds are on the chew, especially outgoing tide. Best bets have been gold spoons, chartreuse spinnerbaits, and Gulp shrimp pitched tight to grass. Don’t ignore cut mullet or live pogies if you want to target a true marsh bruiser.

Venture farther out and Venice is the place to be for offshore action right now. This is peak red snapper season—charters are coming in heavy with limits, and there’s a mixed bag of vermilion snapper, lane snapper, grouper, and even a few cobia or sharks if you’re bottom bouncing with cut bait or squid. Look for rigs and reefs in 100-200 foot depths for the best shot at a freezer-filler.

Hot spots this week: Shell Beach and Hopedale for trout and redfish; Venice offshore for red snapper and grouper. For a quieter marsh adventure, Biloxi Marsh is just hitting its stride and holds the potential for a personal-best bull red or a surprise triple tail.

Good morning y’all, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your June 4th, 2025 fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana coast.

We’re rolling into summer with near-perfect fishing conditions along the Louisiana gulf, and let me tell you—action’s been red hot. Today’s sunrise was at 6:02 AM and sunset will be at 8:02 PM, giving us long daylight to chase those big ones on both the early and late tides. The tide was rising through the morning, then swinging out early afternoon—perfect for inshore bites. Skies are partly cloudy and winds are light, just enough to keep it comfortable without spoiling the drift.

Bait shrimp have finally made a strong return to our bays and marshes. That means predators are dialed in and the bite’s only getting better, according to the latest Shore Thing Fishing reports. Water clarity is decent in most marshes, with just enough stain to keep fish feeling bold.

Speckled trout are firing on all cylinders—recent trips around Hopedale and Grand Isle have seen easy limits, with fish often in the 15- to 20-inch class. They’re keyed in on live shrimp under a popping cork, but some of the best action has been on artificials. Throw a MirrOlure She Dog topwater at daybreak for explosive strikes, or switch to a Z-Man spinnerbait once the sun’s higher, especially when working the grass lines. According to Captain C.A. at Cajun Fishing Adventures, those spinnerbaits are deadly in stained water and pull fish from a good distance.

Redfish are hot as ever, especially in the Delacroix marsh and Lafitte area. Early-morning or evening on the outgoing tide, work Gulp! shrimp or Kicker Crab soft plastics rigged weedless. Bull reds have been stacked near the deeper cuts, with some over 30 inches caught this week. Sheepshead and black drum are also hitting live shrimp near structure.

Offshore, the focus is turning to red snapper now that the season’s open. Out of Venice and Grand Isle, expect limits of solid snapper on cut bait or live pogies, with mingling amberjack and some early wahoo sightings close in, reported from Captain Experiences.

A couple of hot spots to hit:

- Bay Eloi and Breton Sound for specks—drift the shell reefs and keep an eye out for diving birds.

- The marsh drains south of Lafitte for slot reds and flounder, especially when the tide is moving.

The action’s only going to pick up as water temps rise and more bait floods in. Make sure your tackle box is loaded with popping corks, topwater plugs, and spinnerbaits, along with a bucket of lively shrimp for when the fish turn finicky.

Good morning folks, this is Artificial Lure with your June 1, 2025, fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and the Louisiana coast.

We’re kicking off June with some prime conditions. The sunrise today is at 6:01am, and sunset will set the stage at 8:03pm, giving anglers long, warm days to wet a line. According to US Harbors, while most of Louisiana isn’t expected to see flood tides this month, always keep an eye on weather updates since NOAA is predicting an above-normal hurricane season, and we’ve seen some quick pop-up storms along the coast.

Water temps are hovering around 80 degrees, ideal for a variety of inshore and offshore action. June is absolutely one of the best months of the year for inshore fishing around Shell Beach, Hopedale, and down toward St. Bernard, according to Louisiana Sportsman. Venice is the absolute hotspot for offshore; this is peak red snapper season, and the charters out of Venice, Grand Isle, Port Sulphur, and Buras are pulling in beautiful limits. Red snapper is the prime target, but you’ll also see plenty of vermillion and lane snapper, gag and red grouper, and the occasional cobia or shark if you’re bottom fishing.

Closer to shore, the speckled trout bite has been hot at daybreak. Limits of trout are coming in around the flats and channel edges when anglers use live croaker or shrimp, and soft plastics like Matrix Shad or Down South Lures in chicken-on-a-chain or glow colors are getting hammered. Redfish have been solid in knee- to thigh-deep water, especially where there’s moving water—try points and drains, working cut mullet, shad, or shrimp under a popping cork. For flounder, target channels and sandy pockets with a Carolina rig and live mud minnows or finger mullet.

In Redfish Bay and Sabine Lake, the trout and redfish bite continues to be strong, especially in the early hours. Live shrimp is catching just about everything right now, and for those who like artificials, paddle tail swimbaits and rattling topwater plugs at dawn have been top producers. Drum and sheepshead have been caught near the jetties and rock piles using shrimp, but some reports say the drum have been elusive these past few days.

If you’re looking for hot spots, don’t miss the action around Shell Beach and Hopedale for specks and redfish, or book an offshore trip out of Venice for your red snapper fix. For those braving the surf, Grand Isle’s beaches at sunrise are loaded with trout and even a few bull reds.

That’s it for today’s update. Thanks for tuning in—be sure to subscribe so you never miss the latest bite intel. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for May 31, 2025.

## Today's Conditions

The sun rose at 5:49 AM and will set at 7:47 PM, giving us almost 14 hours of prime fishing time. Tide-wise, we're looking at a low tide at 2:20 AM measuring -0.24 feet, with high tide coming in at 3:43 PM hitting 1.39 feet. Today's tidal coefficient is on the lower side at around 45-47, meaning less tidal movement and smaller currents than usual.

## What's Biting

Let me tell y'all, the speckled trout action is absolutely on fire this May! Limits have been coming in steady from Lake Borgne all the way to the Biloxi Marsh. The spring fishing has been nothing short of incredible with a consistent trout bite that's made catching limits almost a daily routine.

Redfish have been hitting the cleaning table too, though you might have to sort through some undersized ones. If you're willing to venture a bit further out, those giant bull reds are making appearances that'll make your drag scream.

Sheepshead are starting to filter back into the area from their spawning grounds. And for those heading to the outer bays and islands of the Biloxi Marsh, you might get lucky with some mackerel, triple tail, or pompano.

## Hot Spots

For the trout, I'm recommending Lake Borgne right now - it's been producing consistently. If you're after those trophy reds, push out to the outer islands of the Biloxi Marsh where you can fish without another boat in sight.

Henderson Lake has been producing good stringers for kayak anglers, and the transition from Lake Pontchartrain to Lake Borgne is in full swing.

## Baits and Tactics

For trout, live shrimp under a popping cork is always money, but soft plastics in chartreuse or glow are working well too. For redfish, try cut mullet on the bottom around points and cuts in the marsh.

Remember that if you're fishing for reef fish, you need non-stainless steel non-offset circle hooks when using natural baits, and a dehooking device is required.

## Regulations Update

For you red snapper enthusiasts, mark your calendars! The 61-day summer season kicks off tomorrow, June 1, and runs through July 31. Alabama's season opened May 23 and runs daily through June 30.

Louisiana anglers, don't forget your basic and saltwater recreational fishing licenses, plus that free Recreational Offshore Landing Permit. Save an electronic copy on your phone so you're not caught without it.

That's all I've got for y'all today. Whether you're a seasoned local or just visiting our beautiful waters, the fish are biting and the time is right. Thanks for tuning in, and if you enjoyed this report, don't forget to subscribe for daily updates on what's biting and where.
