  • South Pass Reds and Barataria Trout - A Quiet Please Fishing Report

    South Pass Reds and Barataria Trout - A Quiet Please Fishing Report
    Dec 5 2025
    Specks and reds are chewing good along the Louisiana side of the Gulf right now, and if you time the moving tide you can put together a real solid box in short order. Cooler water and shorter days have the fish sliding into the bayous, drains, and nearshore rigs where the bait’s stacking up.

    ## Tides, sun, and weather
    Expect a moderate winter tide swing with a good push of water around the mid‑morning and again late afternoon; plan to be set up and fishing an hour on either side of those changes. Sunrise is roughly early, with a quick warm‑up into a mild, dry day and light to moderate north to northeast breeze, and sunset coming on relatively early, so the bite window around low light is tight but productive. With clear, cooler air, water clarity in many marsh ponds and outer bays is better than it’s been, which favors more natural presentations.

    ## Fish activity and recent catches
    Speckled trout have been coming off deeper bayous, shell reefs, and current‑swept points in good numbers, mostly keeper‑sized with some nicer fish mixed in when the tide really starts rolling. Redfish are thick along marsh edges, cuts, and drains; plenty of slot fish with the odd bull roaming outside on the edges of the sounds and near the jetties. Flounder numbers are decent where there’s firm bottom and some current, especially around little necked‑down drains and around old shell. Closer to the rigs and platforms just off the beach, folks are still picking up sheepshead, drum, and the occasional snapper or mingos where it’s open and legal.

    ## Best lures and bait
    For trout, work soft plastics on 1/8–1/4 oz jigheads under a popping cork in 2–5 feet, or bump those same plastics on the bottom in the deeper bayous once the sun gets up. Natural colors like opening‑night, glow, and chicken‑on‑a‑chain are money in the clearer water; switch to chartreuse tails if it muddies up. For reds, gold spoons, spinnerbaits, and paddle‑tail swimbaits pitched tight to the grass and run through drains are the ticket. Live shrimp or live/minnow‑style bait under a cork will get bit anywhere right now, and cut mullet or cracked crab is hard to beat for bulls and drum near the passes and rigs.

    ## Hot spots to try
    Two areas really worth your gas today:
    - Venice / South Pass: Work the outer bays, ducks, and drains feeding into the river passes, then slide out to the jetties and nearby rigs for bull reds, drum, and sheepshead when the tide starts trucking.
    - Barataria / Grand Isle side: Focus on shell reefs and points inside the bays for trout at first light, then push into the marsh ponds and cuts for redfish once the sun warms the shallow water.

    This is Artificial Lure, reminding you to fish the moving water, keep it simple, and let the fish tell you what they want. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Coastal Chaos: Trout, Reds, and Tide Trends in the Gulf of Mexico

    Coastal Chaos: Trout, Reds, and Tide Trends in the Gulf of Mexico
    Dec 4 2025
    Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure bringing you today's Gulf of Mexico fishing report for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

    Let's kick things off with the conditions. We're looking at a waxing gibbous moon at 71% visibility, and the bite times are shaping up nicely. Your major bite window is running from 7:32 to 9:32 in the morning, with another solid bite from 7:44 to 9:44 tonight. Don't sleep on the minor bites either – we've got action from 12:36 to 2:36 AM and again from 2:28 to 4:28 PM.

    The tide situation at Calcasieu Pass is firing right now. We're looking at some very high tidal coefficients around 106, and that's exactly what we want for aggressive feeding. The falling tide is your sweet spot – get down there two hours before and after that tide change and position yourself down-current. Let your bait sweep naturally through those funnel areas, and you're gonna get strikes.

    Speaking of what's biting, speckled trout and redfish are the stars of the show along the Louisiana coast. Early morning topwaters are producing in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu – work those surface presentations until the sun gets up, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork. For redfish, you want to be working the marsh edges and drains, especially on that falling tide. Gold spoons and live shrimp near points are your bread and butter right now.

    Here's your tackle breakdown. For trout, grab some quality soft plastics and pair them with a popping cork. For that bull red action at the jetties around Grand Isle and Venice, cut mullet or crab is gonna get the job done. Fresh bait outperforms frozen every single time – I can't stress that enough. If you're serious about redfish, listen for that distinctive drumming sound; it'll lead you right to a hungry school.

    For lures, black and blue combinations are working like a charm right now. Whether you're flipping small tubes or throwing Senkos, that color pattern has been producing consistently. Soft plastics in natural colors are also solid choices this time of year.

    I'm gonna point you toward two hot spots. Calcasieu Pass is absolutely on fire right now with those high tides and aggressive feeding windows. It's a feeding frenzy when conditions align. Also, get out to the marsh drains – they're absolutely loaded with quality fish right now. Target areas with heavy cover and thicker structure; the big ones are suspending right under those heaviest pieces of shade.

    Remember, bring lighter leaders on clear days and upsize after rains. Early morning and dusk are still your prime times, and don't ignore those falling tide windows.

  • Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: High Tides, Feeding Frenzy at Calcasieu Pass

    Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: High Tides, Feeding Frenzy at Calcasieu Pass
    Dec 3 2025
    Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure bringing you today's Gulf of Mexico fishing report for Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025.

    Let me start with the conditions. We're looking at a waxing gibbous moon at 60.8 percent visibility, and that's gonna play in our favor today. The sun rose this morning around 6:52 AM and we're gonna lose daylight around 5:02 PM, so you've got a solid window to work with.

    Now here's what's important—tides are shifting into what we're calling "very high" territory over the next couple days, which means strong currents and excellent fish movement. If you're heading out, watch for that major bite window happening around 7:32 AM to 9:32 AM this morning, and then another strong period from 7:44 PM to 9:44 PM tonight.

    The bite has been consistent across our coastal hotspots. Speckled trout are stacked along oyster reefs and those bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu—hit them early with topwater, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun climbs. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges on falling tides, so position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep through naturally. We're seeing some solid bull reds around Grand Isle and Venice too, especially on cut mullet and crab.

    For your arsenal, bring Live Target Croaker swimbaits—that dorsal fin acts as a weed guard and they swim true right out of the package. Gold spoons and live shrimp near points are producing for reds. Rat-L-Traps flat-out catch fish, and if you're working structure, they're worth every cast.

    I'd say your two hottest spots right now are Bypass Canal just off the Intracoastal Waterway for winter redfish action, and the Calcasieu Pass area where those high tides are gonna funnel bait and predators through like a feeding station.

    Thanks for tuning in, folks. Make sure you subscribe for daily reports and tight lines out there. This has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease dot ai.

  • Tuesday Gulf Fishing Report - Reds, Trout, and Bull Reds Biting Across Louisiana Coastal Hotspots

    Tuesday Gulf Fishing Report - Reds, Trout, and Bull Reds Biting Across Louisiana Coastal Hotspots
    Dec 2 2025
    # Tuesday Morning Fishing Report - December 2nd, 2025

    Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure bringing you today's Gulf of Mexico fishing report. We're looking at a pretty solid day out on the water here in Louisiana.

    Let's start with the tides. Down at South Pass and North Pass, we're sitting in that sweet spot where the water's moving nicely. You've got high tide coming in this morning, which is prime time for reds and speckled trout to be feeding hard along those marsh edges and oyster reefs. The tidal coefficient's moderate right now, so don't expect extreme swings, but definitely enough movement to get the fish active.

    Weather-wise, we're looking at cooler December conditions that are firing up the bite. The sun rose around 6:35 to 6:40 this morning depending on where you're at, and we'll have sunset around 4:45 this evening, so get out there early and make those daylight hours count.

    **Fish Activity and Recent Catches**

    Speckled trout are stacking along those oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu right now. Redfish are cruising the marsh edges hard on falling tides—they love those drain areas where baitfish funnel through. We're also seeing some solid bull reds showing up at the jetties around Grand Isle and Venice. Flounder are around those current-swept pockets, and if you're into freshwater, largemouth bass are chasing shad in the Atchafalaya spillways.

    **What's Working**

    For redfish, get yourself some gold spoons and live shrimp near points—that's been producing. For speckled trout, work early morning topwaters, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork once the sun gets up. The Rapala CrushCity Bronco Bug with heavier weights around current has been generating some impressive bites. Black-and-blue color schemes and darker colors across the board are outperforming lighter offerings right now.

    **Hot Spots**

    Head down to Grand Isle or Venice for those bull reds around the jetties with cut mullet or crab. For trout and reds, target those marsh drains two hours before and after a falling tide—position yourself down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through the funnel.

  • "Gulf Fishing Report Roundup - Crappie, Reds, and Chilly Conditions in Louisiana"

    "Gulf Fishing Report Roundup - Crappie, Reds, and Chilly Conditions in Louisiana"
    Dec 1 2025
    # Monday Morning Fishing Report - December 1st, 2025

    Well folks, it's your boy Artificial Lure coming at you with your Monday morning Gulf of Mexico fishing report for Louisiana. Let's dive right into what's happening out on the water today.

    **Tides and Conditions**

    We've got a high tide this morning at 4:12 AM running just 0.28 feet—pretty minimal action there. The solunar chart shows we're in an average activity period, so don't expect any major fireworks, but there's still opportunity if you know where to look.

    **What's Biting**

    December is prime time for sac-a-lait, folks. These crappie are moving into the deeper sections of our main rivers and dead-end canals right now, so get yourself into those deeper holes. If you're chasing redfish through the winter, Bypass Canal just off the Intracoastal Waterway has been holding some solid fish lately.

    **What to Throw**

    For redfish this time of year, DOA Shrimp and Gulp are absolute killers. If you want to go with something flashier, try a Johnson Silver Minnow Spoon or a Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ. For that sac-a-lait bite, pair your worm with a 3/4-ounce shakey head—a proven winter technique that produces.

    **Hot Spots**

    Head out to the deeper sections of the main river channels or work those dead-end canals where the sac-a-lait are congregating. Bypass Canal is worth the run if you want a solid chance at reds.

    Remember folks, bundle up out there—December can be chilly on the water. Thanks for tuning in and make sure you subscribe. This has been a quiet please production. For more, check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Report: December's Sac-a-Lait Action, Bass Crushing Chatterbaits & Jerkbaits

    Gulf Coast Fishing Report: December's Sac-a-Lait Action, Bass Crushing Chatterbaits & Jerkbaits
    Nov 30 2025
    Well, hey there folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Sunday morning fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana waters.

    Let's start with today's conditions. Sunrise this morning was around 6:34 AM, and we're looking at sunset around 5:00 PM, so you've got a solid day ahead of you out on the water. As for the tides, we're in that transitional period heading into December. Down in New Orleans, we're looking at high tide around 1:56 PM and low tide hitting around 9:55 PM. Over in the Tchefuncta River area, high tide came in around 11:06 AM with low tide at 11:33 PM. The water's been falling throughout the morning, so if you're planning to head out, time your run with that incoming tide this afternoon.

    Weather-wise, conditions are favorable for getting out there. The wind's been picking up a bit offshore with gusts up to 30 knots in some areas, so keep an eye on conditions if you're heading into the Gulf. Seas are running 2 to 4 feet, occasionally 5 feet, so manageable for most boats.

    Now here's what's been biting. December's shaping up to be one of our best months for sac-a-lait fishing. These fish are moving into deeper areas of the main rivers and dead-end canals as we speak. That cold river action is prime right now. Around Toledo Bend, bass are hanging tight around wood cover, so if you're targeting bass, get those plastics and jerkbaits near structure.

    For your lure selection, keep it simple but effective. A gold-and-black chatterbait with a half-ounce weight is absolutely crushing it. Jerkbaits are working great too, especially when you're working around that wood. If you're going with soft plastics, darker colors like junebug and straight black are outproducing everything else right now. The new Vudu Mambo Shrimp is also getting a lot of attention whether you're on grass flats, in the marsh, around docks, or open water.

    For hot spots, get yourself down to Toledo Bend if you can make the run. That wood cover is holding some solid fish right now. If you're staying closer to the coast, the grass flats around Vermilion Bay are holding good numbers of trout this time of year.

    Thanks for tuning in to the report today, folks. Make sure you hit that subscribe button so you don't miss tomorrow's conditions update.

  • Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Late November Action on Trout, Reds

    Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Late November Action on Trout, Reds
    Nov 29 2025
    # Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report - Saturday, November 29, 2025

    Well hey there, folks, it's Artificial Lure bringing you today's Gulf Coast fishing report for Saturday, November 29th. Let me break down what's happening out on the water right now.

    **Tides and Conditions**

    We're looking at some solid tidal action this morning. In the Calcasieu Pass area, we've got high tides at 4:30 AM and 9:42 AM with a low at 3:38 PM. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 56, which is average - good enough to get those fish moving. Sunrise happened around 6:49 AM, and we'll see sunset around 5:13 PM, so you've got a good window to work with today.

    **What's Biting**

    Late November has been firing up along our coast. Speckled trout and redfish are the stars right now, and they're actively feeding in our shallow coastal marshes. Anglers have been connecting with slot reds along grass edges, particularly in the St. Bernard and Hopedale marshes. Bird activity over shrimp schools has been a reliable indicator of where these fish are schooling up.

    **Best Gear and Lures**

    For trout and reds in this stained, shallow water, you'll want to throw compact spinnerbaits in white or chartreuse. Squarebill crankbaits are working well too. If you're targeting reds specifically through the winter months, topwater poppers and shallow presentations are your friends - keep your lures working in the strike zone and let them aggravate these fish into biting.

    **Hot Spots**

    The Bypass Canal, just off the Intracoastal Waterway, has been holding redfish all through the cooler months. Also, don't sleep on the Chalmette area - those waters stay productive even when things get cold, and you'll find a nice variety of quality fish there.

    **Final Word**

    Get out there and get after it while conditions are prime. Thanks for tuning in to the report - make sure you subscribe for daily updates on what's happening on the water.

  • Friday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Louisiana

    Friday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Louisiana
    Nov 28 2025
    # Friday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Louisiana

    Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf Coast fishing report for Friday, November 28th. Let me break down what's happening on the water today.

    **Tides and Conditions**

    We're looking at moderate tidal action this morning across South Pass and the surrounding areas. The maximum high tide in this region sits around 2.3 feet, with lows dropping to minus 1.3 feet. These aren't extreme swings, but they're workable for getting out there. Sunrise comes early around 6:15 AM, so if you're heading out now, you've got some solid light already. Sunset hits around 7:30 PM, giving you a full day on the water.

    **What's Biting**

    Speckled trout are active right now in Vermilion Bay and around the marsh edges. Redfish are staging in deeper areas and along grass lines as we head into winter. October and November reports show that bird activity over shrimp schools is your best indicator—follow the birds and you'll find fast action with both species. The bridges on Lake Pontchartrain turn on at dawn and dusk, especially on moving tides, so don't overlook those traditional spots.

    **Lures and Baits That Work**

    For trout, focus on lipless crankbaits in crawfish and shad patterns. A vibrating jig in darker colors—bruised green pumpkin with black and blue trailers—gets solid bites. Jighead minnows remain a confidence lure early in the day. For reds, popping corks paired with live bait work great in murky water conditions typical of our bayous right now. PowerBait options in green pumpkin colors consistently deliver across the region.

    **Hot Spots**

    Head to Bypass Canal just off the Intracoastal Waterway if you're targeting winter redfish—it's a man-made gem that holds fish all season. Caney Creek in the Lake Conroe area has been producing quality fish for those using secondary points with grass—hit the transitions between deep water and shallow vegetation.
