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

# 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.
