17 NOV 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.

16 NOV 2024 · If you're planning to hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana today, here’s what you need to know. As of November 16, 2024, the fishing conditions are quite favorable despite the intermittent rain storms.
First off, let's talk about the tides and daylight. Sunrise was around 6:45 AM, and sunset is expected at about 4:55 PM. Tides are moderate, with a high tide in the late morning and a low tide in the early afternoon[4].
The weather has been a bit unpredictable, but if you can get out between the rain storms, the fishing is really good. Prior to the increased winds and rain, the fishing pattern was following the typical fall season trends. Redfish are ganging up inside the marsh, and speckled trout are pushing deeper into the marsh as well[3].
One of the highlights recently has been the abundance of large white trout. These fish are not just in one spot; they've been found in the bay, around the barrier islands, and throughout the Louisiana marsh. Some of these white trout have been as large as 17 inches, caught over oyster reefs in shallow waters[3].
For redfish, they are schooling in large numbers, especially in areas like Boothville-Venice. Bull reds and jacks are common, and some days you can find them schooling by the tens or even hundreds[1].
When it comes to lures and bait, live shrimp are always a good choice, especially for trout and redfish. For redfish, imitation shrimp lures under popping corks or jig heads with soft plastic tails in lighter colors have been very effective. For trout, fishing with live shrimp in and around structure has been producing a fair bite[2][3].
Some hot spots to consider include the marsh areas around Hopedale and the barrier islands. The Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge and the waters around Venice are also known for their rich fish populations.
In summary, if you can navigate the weather, today promises to be a great day for fishing in Louisiana's Gulf Coast waters. Just remember to pack your gear, including live shrimp and the right lures, and be prepared to adapt to the changing conditions. Happy fishing

14 NOV 2024 · If you're planning to hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico around Louisiana today, here's what you need to know:
First off, the weather is looking a bit rough. A cold front is merging with the remnants of a surface trough just south of Louisiana, which means you can expect southeast to south winds at about 10 to 15 knots, with seas ranging from 2 to 4 feet[5].
Sunrise today is around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:00 PM, giving you a good window to get out there.
Tides are a bit unpredictable with the wind and front, but you can expect high tides in the late morning and low tides in the late afternoon. This fluctuation can push fish into the back lakes and bays, especially with the extremely high tides in some areas[2].
Fish activity has been good despite the weather. Yesterday, anglers were catching plenty of redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. In areas like Yscloskey and the marshes around New Orleans, bull reds and jacks were schooling in large numbers. Redfish were particularly active in the back waters and along the jetties, while speckled trout were found on top of the shell reefs[2][4].
For lures, imitation shrimp under popping corks with 12-inch leaders have been producing well. Jig heads with lighter-colored tails, such as Wac Attack and Deadly Dudley, are also effective. If you're targeting flounder, though keep in mind that flounder season is closed through December 14, weightless swimbait hooks with Gulp Shrimp have been working[2].
Live shrimp and finger mullet remain the best baits for redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. Anglers have also had success with plastics and topwaters, especially around areas like the Texas City Dike and Galveston Jetties[2].
Hot spots include the marshes around Yscloskey, where you can find reds and trout in abundance. The jetties at Galveston and the back waters of East Galveston Bay are also producing good catches. For those wading, the far west end of West Galveston Bay and areas around Mosquito Island and inside the Moses Lake Tidal Gate have been productive[2][4].
Stay safe out there, and keep an eye on the weather as tropical storm conditions are possible later in the week[3][5].
