  • Gulf Fishing Forecast: Red Snapper, Trout, and Reds Thrive Amidst Moderate Conditions
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, is quite dynamic despite the recent challenging weather conditions.

    ### Tidal Report
    Today, the tides are moderate, with a high tide at around 9:30 AM and a low tide at about 3:30 PM. These tides should provide good conditions for both inshore and offshore fishing.

    ### Weather
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a gentle breeze, making it a comfortable day on the water. However, there is a slight chance of scattered showers, so it's a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset will be at 4:53 PM, giving anglers a full day to take advantage of the best fishing times.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity from various species. Red snapper, although their federal season technically closed on August 28, are still being caught in state waters where the season remains open year-round in some areas. However, for those fishing in federal waters, the season has closed until next year. Anglers reported catching a good number of red snapper, particularly in the Boothville-Venice area.

    Bull reds and speckled trout were also very active, with many anglers reporting successful catches in the marshes and lakes of the Biloxi Marsh and around Hopedale. The trout were particularly responsive to live bait and soft plastics.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    - Red Snapper: Several anglers reported catching their limits of red snapper in state waters, with sizes ranging from 15 to 20 inches.
    - Bull Reds: These were abundant in the marsh areas, with some anglers catching up to 6-8 fish per trip.
    - Speckled Trout: Trout were plentiful, especially in the early morning hours, with anglers using live bait and soft plastics to catch them.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For red snapper, natural baits like shrimp and mullet worked well, and it's mandatory to use non-stainless steel non-offset circle hooks when using natural baits. For trout, live bait such as minnows and shrimp, as well as soft plastics like curly tail grubs, were highly effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Boothville-Venice**: This area has been producing a lot of red snapper and bull reds.
    - **Biloxi Marsh**: The lakes and ponds here are great for catching speckled trout and bull reds.
    - **Hopedale**: Known for its rich fishing grounds, Hopedale has been a hotspot for both trout and redfish.

    Remember to always check the local regulations and ensure you have the necessary licenses and permits before heading out. The use of a dehooking device and a venting tool or descending device is also required when fishing for reef fish in federal waters. Enjoy your day on the water

  • Fishing the Gulf: Navigating Rough Seas and Bountiful Catches in Louisiana
    Nov 21 2024
    As of November 21, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, is quite dynamic despite the challenging weather conditions.

    ### Weather and Tides
    Strong winds and rough seas have been prevalent, keeping many boats in port. However, when there are windows of opportunity, the fishing can be excellent. Today, expect partly cloudy skies with winds out of the southeast at about 15-20 mph. Tides are moderate, with a high tide around 10:30 AM and a low tide around 4:30 PM.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 6:34 AM, and sunset is at 4:53 PM, giving you a good stretch of daylight to get out on the water.

    ### Fish Activity
    Despite the rough conditions, fish activity has been robust. Yesterday, anglers reported catching significant numbers of bull reds, jacks, and trout. The bull reds and jacks are schooling in large numbers, often by the tens or even hundreds, particularly around the Boothville-Venice area[3][4].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Bull reds, redfish, and trout were the stars of the show yesterday. Several anglers reported filling their limits on red snapper before moving on to catch trout and redfish. Other catches included black drum, flounder, and even some shark and angel fish[3][4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For targeting bull reds and redfish, using live or artificial shrimp, spoons, and spinnerbaits have been highly effective. For trout, soft plastics and topwater baits are working well. If you're after red snapper, live bait such as shrimp or mullet is recommended[1][3].

    ### Hot Spots
    Two hot spots right now are the marsh areas around Boothville-Venice and the inshore waters of Yscloskey. These areas have been producing consistent catches of redfish, trout, and bull reds. The marshes provide a sheltered environment that can protect you from the rougher seas while still offering excellent fishing opportunities[3][4].

    Stay safe, and make the most of those windows of calm weather to get out and enjoy the fishing in the Gulf of Mexico.

  • Promising Fishing in the Gulf of Mexico: Navigating Weather and Tides for a Successful Outing
    Nov 17 2024
    As of November 17, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana, is looking promising despite the intermittent rain storms. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Tidal Conditions
    The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with occasional rain showers, so be prepared to fish between the storms. Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 4:50 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide in the morning and a low tide in the late afternoon, which should provide good tidal flow for fishing.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish activity has been robust, especially for those who can get out between the rain storms. White trout are leading the charge, with many large specimens caught recently. These white trout, some as large as 17 inches, have been found in the Bay, around the Barrier Islands, and throughout the Louisiana marsh[3].

    Redfish are also active, particularly inside the marsh where they tend to gang up during the fall season. Speckled trout are beginning to move deeper into the marsh as well. Drum and bass are also biting well, especially in the deeper holes and around natural underwater structures[3][4].

    ### Catches
    Yesterday saw several boats returning with impressive catches. Redfish, including bull reds, were plentiful, and many anglers reported catching their limits quickly. Speckled trout were also abundant, especially near the mouth of the bayous and in deeper holes. White trout continued to surprise with their large sizes and widespread presence[1][3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For speckled trout and redfish, market shrimp and plastics are highly effective. Using 3/8 ounce jigheads with plastic baits bounced off the bottom can produce a good mixed bag of fish. For bass, spinnerbaits and topwater lures work well early in the day, while crankbaits and flipping craws or jigs are better later in the day. Bobby Garland lures in Glacier color on light jig heads are also productive for bass and other species[4].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the hot spots right now is around the deeper holes in Pass Manchac, where you can find concentrations of baitfish and good tidal flow. Another spot is the area around the Barrier Islands and the oyster reefs in the marsh, where the large white trout have been caught. The mouth of the bayous, especially near Lake Borgne, is also worth a visit as trout and reds tend to congregate there during the cooler months[3][4].

    Overall, it's a great time to be on the water in Louisiana, with a variety of fish species active and plenty of opportunities to catch some impressive fish. Just be sure to check the weather and plan your trip accordingly.
