  • July 7 Gulf Fishing Report: Billfish Mania, Inshore Action Sizzles, Bass and Bream Bite Strong

    July 7 Gulf Fishing Report: Billfish Mania, Inshore Action Sizzles, Bass and Bream Bite Strong
    Jul 7 2025
    Artificial Lure here, coming to you straight outta south Louisiana with your July 7, 2025 Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana fishing report. Summer's got its full grip on the bayou, and so does the bite. We’re talking steamy temps, fiery fish, and some feisty tides—just what you’d expect for July on the Gulf.

    Let’s get into the nitty gritty: the tide out around Grand Isle today’s running strong, with a tidal coefficient hitting 70 in the morning and climbing to 75 by sunset. These are big moves, y’all—means there’s plenty of water shifting, bait stirring, and predators on the prowl. Major fish activity should pick up around both sunrise and sunset, as today’s solar transit hit right at 1:01 PM, so your best action is in those dawn and dusk hours according to Tides4Fishing.

    Weather-wise, the National Weather Service outta New Orleans reports a light west wind at 5 to 10 knots, seas sitting about a foot or less, and a chance of spotty thunderstorms, mostly in the morning and after midnight. Not a bad day for the skiff or the kayak, but keep an eye out for those summer squalls that pop up fast.

    Sun came up at 6:08 AM and will hang around till 8:05 PM, giving you over 14 hours of daylight to sling baits and soak some lines.

    Now, the fish. Offshore, it’s billfish mania—Sport Fishing Championship tallied 166 billfish releases and counting this week. If you’re trolling for blue marlin or sailfish, focus on deep blue water off the river’s mouth or the rigs south of Fourchon; rigged ballyhoo, big plastics, or skirted lures in blue/white have been hot.

    Inshore, the bite’s been as hot as the blacktop at noon. Trout and redfish are stacking up around the cuts, passes, and shell points. Grand Isle, Caminada Pass, and Fourchon beaches: all seeing steady limits of specks, especially on moving tide. Live shrimp’s king as always, but if you want to go artificial, today’s best bets are chartreuse or white soft plastics under popping corks. Early and late, break out your topwater plugs for big blowups—think Spooks and Skitterwalks.

    Bass anglers up north in the freshwater are still talking about the Bussey Brake and Caney Creek action—MLF’s Heavy Hitters tour saw bass over 9 pounds just this past week. Flipping green pumpkin jigs, white spinnerbaits near shad spawns, and working a drop-shot over bluegill beds got it done. For the bayou bass, try a jerkbait or Texas-rigged creature bait along the cypress knees and brush piles—just like the pros do.

    If bream’s your game, set up with a crappie stick, #2 red Tru Turn hook, cork, and a little piece of worm or cricket—could be the ticket to a cooler full of bluegill and shellcracker.

    Hot spots this week: Grand Isle beaches at sunrise for trout, Caminada Pass for specks and reds on a falling tide, and the Fourchon jetties for that mixed bag of trout, redfish, and the occasional flounder. Offshore, hit the Midnight Lump or any of the shelf rigs for tuna and billfish.

  • "Summer Heat Cranks Up the Bite in the Gulf and Louisiana"

    "Summer Heat Cranks Up the Bite in the Gulf and Louisiana"
    Jul 6 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your July 6, 2025, Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana fishing report. Summer’s in full swing, y’all, and the bite’s been as hot as the humidity—so let’s get you dialed in for success on the water.

    Sunrise was at 5:51 this morning with sunset rolling in around 7:44. That gives anglers a solid window for early morning and late evening action, just when the fish are most active. The predicted tide for Weeks Bay and Vermilion Bay shows a high at 8:02am and low at 8:23pm, and that means plenty of moving water through prime fishing hours. As always, your best odds are around those changing tides—especially with this much daylight to play with.

    Weather’s cooperating nicely: expect light south-to-southwest winds around 5 knots, waves 1 foot or less, and a slight chop—perfect for running across the bays and marshes. There's only a slight chance of pop-up showers or thunderstorms toward the evening, so keep an eye on the sky but don’t let it keep you off the water. According to the National Weather Service, conditions are stable and summer-predictable.

    Fish activity has been excellent this week. Over in Barataria Bay, the estuary’s producing classic summer variety. Speckled trout are thick along the beaches from Fourchon to Grand Isle—Louisiana Sportsman says Capt. T-Man Cheramie’s been putting folks on big numbers in the surf and along the jetties. Early birds are catching limits by 9am, with fish averaging 16 to 20 inches. Redfish have been cruising grass edges and oyster reefs, especially on the outgoing tide, and there’s been a few bull reds mixed in. Keepers are coming from both inside marshes and just outside along the passes.

    For numbers and variety, Cypremort Point is a no-brainer. Drum, flounder, and sheepshead are showing up around rock piles and deeper cuts. Down toward Grand Isle, the surf bite is turning on just after dawn—targeting those first and last hours of sunlight gives you the best shot at the bigger trout.

    On the lure front, the top baits this week have been soft plastics in natural colors—think shrimp and baitfish imitations fished under popping corks. When the water’s a little murky, chartreuse tails are producing extra strikes. Topwaters like the Heddon Super Spook and Rapala Skitter Walk are fooling big trout at daylight—don’t be afraid to walk them fast. For reds, gold spoons and 3/8-ounce jigs with a Berkley Gulp! Swimming Mullet have accounted for dozens of fish in the marshes.

    If live bait’s your game, shrimp and croaker are still king, especially under a cork near current lines and deeper cuts. Bull minnows are catching flounder around marsh drains and shell banks.

    Hot spots you shouldn’t miss:
    - Grand Isle surf and Caminada Pass jetties for early morning trout and reds.
    - Barataria Bay’s northeast shoreline and the oyster reefs around Bay Laurier for slot reds and drum.
    - Cypremort Point State Park piers and deeper cuts for mixed bag action—perfect for families or filling a cooler.

    July’s rolling out some of the best fishing of the year here on the Gulf, folks. Thanks for tuning in to today’s report—don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the latest tips, tides, and hot bites.

  • Louisiana Fishing Report: Specs, Reds, and Offshore Action Heating Up

    Louisiana Fishing Report: Specs, Reds, and Offshore Action Heating Up
    Jun 22 2025
    Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana fishing report for Sunday, June 22, 2025. Let’s dive right into what the water’s giving us today.

    Weather’s shaping up classic for summer in Louisiana—humid, with plenty of sun peeking through scattered clouds. Expect a light south-southwest breeze and temps cruising from the mid-70s at sunrise to low 90s as the afternoon bakes on. Sunrise kicked off at 6:01 a.m., with sunset winding down at 8:07 p.m., giving you a nice long window for chasing that early or late bite. Tides are running moderate today, with a decent incoming flow late morning, topping out around midday—prime time for those feeding fish to move in shallow.

    Speckled trout are the main story lately, stacked up thick in Shell Beach, Hopedale, and across Lake Borgne. Reports from Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report and Captain Experiences say anglers are landing solid numbers, especially at first light and just before dusk. Most fish are coming off oyster reefs and grass beds, with some mixed in around marsh drains as the tide rises.

    Redfish? They’re hot right now. Louisiana Sportsman and recent field reports show folks sight-casting in the Biloxi Marsh and catching slot reds along the cane edges and in the ponds. Flounder have shown up in better numbers too—look for them around the mouths of bayous and in the deeper pockets off flats.

    Offshore, boats heading out past the rigs have done well on red snapper and the occasional cobia and tripletail since snapper season opened up. Live bait is king offshore, but folks jigging big plastics near structure are getting hooked up.

    Best baits and lures this week: For specks, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp under a popping cork, but if you’re throwing artificials, topwater walk-the-dog baits like Heddon Spooks and the MirrOlure She Dog have been deadly at daybreak, according to Capt. C.A. on Flats Class. When the sun gets high, switch to soft plastics in glow or opening night, rigged on 1/8-ounce jigheads. For redfish, spinnerbaits and gold spoons are working great in the stained water. The Z-Man spinnerbait holds up to the big hits and can be thrown tight to the cane without snagging. Kicker Crabs and Gulp! shrimp are also top picks for sight-casting in the marsh.

    Can’t forget your live bait—shrimp, croakers, and minnows are all working well right now, especially for the larger specs and reds, as baitfish continue to spawn and draw predator fish in from deeper water, as reported by The Shoofly Magazine.

    Hot spots: Check Shell Beach and Hopedale for a mixed bag of trout and reds, with bonus flounder around the drains. Lake Borgne is firing for topwater trout at sunrise, and Biloxi Marsh is a sure bet for sight-fishing reds. Venice Marina is a top jump-off for offshore snapper and cobia runs.

    Don’t forget, crowds are heavy but fish are spread out—don’t be afraid to explore away from the fleets for your own honey hole.

    That’s your local update from the Gulf—tight lines out there! Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for more reports and tips. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
