"Summer Fishing Frenzy: Trout, Reds, and Offshore Bounty in the Gulf"
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.
