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.
