 Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live with your fishing report for Friday, May 23, 2025, here in the waters around New Orleans and out into the Gulf of Mexico.

We’re sitting in classic late-spring conditions with a strong action bite continuing all around the region. Sunrise hit at 6:00 am this morning, and sunset is coming up about 7:52 pm, giving you a nice long window on the water. Weather today is shaping up fair and mild, with light southern winds, moderate cloud cover to keep you cool, and a temperature climbing into the high 70s. Expect low humidity but keep an eye on those afternoon gusts if you’re chasing open water.

On the water, the tidal swing is moderate today and peaking around midday, so plan your moves to fish that rising water for best results. Inshore, the speckled trout bite is still red-hot. Anglers are catching easy limits from Lake Borgne, Bayou Bienvenue, and stretching out to the Biloxi Marsh. The usual reefs, oyster beds, and marsh edges are loaded with good-size specs—plenty pushing the two-pound mark. Folks drifting the outer bays and cuts are also picking up solid numbers of redfish. There are lots of slot reds in the mix, though you will need to cull through some smaller fish. If you get out to the “outside”—that’s the scattered islands and open bays of the Biloxi Marsh—you’ll have a shot at the big bull reds and even the odd mackerel or triple tail cruising through.

Sheepshead are making a comeback, filtering back from their offshore spawns, and you might even land one while bouncing bait along the structure. Offshore, the red snapper bite is still strong for those heading out past the passes, and King Mackerel are just about to ramp up as the bait schools grow[2][3][5].

Best lures right now are clear and classic: soft plastic paddle tails in chartreuse or glow, popping corks with shrimp imitations, and topwaters early in the morning. For bait, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp or market croakers for specs and reds. Bull reds are slamming cut mullet or menhaden along current lines and deeper cuts.

Hot spots today: try the north shore reefs of Lake Borgne for consistent trout action, or hit the eastern edges of the Biloxi Marsh for both trout and big reds. For the adventurous, make a run outside to Breton Sound islands—the “outside” is wide open and the bite is on.

Boat safe, mind those tides, and go get ’em. This has been Artificial Lure with your New Orleans and Gulf fishing report. Tight lines!
