Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for May 25th, 2025.

The sun rose about an hour ago at 6:23 AM, and we've got plenty of daylight until sunset at 7:22 PM, giving you a solid day on the water. Tide's coming in strong this morning and will peak around noon, making it perfect for working those marsh edges where the bait is flowing.

Weather-wise, we're blessed with that classic late May pattern - temperatures already climbing into the mid-70s and water temperatures sitting comfortably between 74-77 degrees. Winds are calm this morning but expect a light southeasterly breeze to pick up after lunch, nothing that should keep you off the water.

Speckled trout fishing remains absolute fire right now! Boats have been limiting out from Lake Borgne all the way to the Biloxi Marsh. The bite has been exceptional with some real quality keepers in the mix. These specks are hammering soft plastics - Matrix Shad and Saltwater Assassin in chartreuse and peppered pumpkin colors are your best bet. Work them slow around bridges, jetties and grassy points.

Redfish action is holding strong too, particularly around the marsh edges during the rising tide. Gold spoons and popping corks with shrimp are getting it done. Several anglers reported multiple slot-sized reds yesterday, with some bruisers mixed in.

For those heading offshore, conditions are looking mighty fine with above-average spring conditions continuing. The good news is there's an abundance of clean, blue water pushing closer to shore, which means better opportunities without running too far. The Loop Current eddy in the west central Gulf and smaller eddies in the northeastern Gulf are holding warmer water right where we want it.

Hot spots for today? I'd focus on the Biloxi Marsh early for those speckled trout - the bite has been consistent there for weeks. If you're after reds, the mouths of bayous around Lake Borgne are producing as the tide rises. For offshore enthusiasts, the Mississippi Canyon has been holding plenty of blue water with direct Loop Current origins - perfect conditions for bigger pelagics.

Live shrimp are always money this time of year, but if you're throwing artificials, those soft plastics under a popping cork are hard to beat for the inshore crowd.

Remember folks, the fish are hungry and the conditions are right - it doesn't get much better than late May in Louisiana waters. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines and best of luck out there today!
