Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, and Ideal Conditions Near New Orleans
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 16, 2025. It's shaping up to be a beautiful day on the Gulf Coast near New Orleans. Sunrise was at 7:09 AM and we're looking at a high of 81°F with partly cloudy skies - perfect conditions to get out on the water.
Tides are running pretty normal today. We've got a high tide coming in at 6:13 AM and low tide at 6:27 PM. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 74, which means we should see some decent water movement throughout the day.
Fish activity has been picking up lately as the waters warm up. Redfish and speckled trout have been biting well in the marsh areas and along the coast. We've been seeing good numbers of slot-sized reds, with a few bulls mixed in. Trout have been running on the smaller side, but they're plentiful.
For lures, I've had great luck with gold spoons and paddletail soft plastics. The Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ in the coppertruse color has been absolutely killer. If you're targeting trout, try suspending twitch baits like the MirrOlure MirrOdine. For live bait, you can't go wrong with live shrimp under a popping cork.
As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the Biloxi Marsh area or heading down to Delacroix. The reefs around Lake Borgne have also been producing well. If you're looking to stay closer to the city, the Seabrook area near the Lakefront Airport has been holding some nice fish.
Remember to keep an eye on the weather and stay safe out there. Tight lines, everyone!
