  • Summary

  • For those heading out to fish in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans today, here’s what you need to know:

    First off, let's look at the tides. Today, January 9, 2025, you've got a high tide at 2:32 AM with a height of -0.02 meters (-0.06 ft), and a low tide at 2:26 PM with a height of -0.13 meters (-0.44 ft)[5].

    Weather conditions are looking relatively mild, which is typical for this time of year. However, keep an eye out for any wind changes, as they can significantly impact the tides and fish activity. Wind can make the outgoing tides stronger and the incoming tides weaker, so plan accordingly[3].

    Sunrise is at 6:57 AM and sunset is at 5:18 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.

    Fish activity has been good lately, with reports of abundant speckled trout, redfish, and sheepshead. Yesterday saw some decent catches, especially around the prime spots like the oyster beds and the marshy areas near Lake Pontchartrain.

    For lures, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and shrimp imitations are working well for speckled trout and redfish. For sheepshead, try using live or frozen shrimp, as they are particularly attracted to these baits[1][4].

    If you're looking for hot spots, consider the areas around the Mississippi River Delta and the oyster beds near Chandeleur Islands. These spots tend to hold a lot of fish, especially during the changing tides.

    Remember, the tidal changes can significantly affect fish activity, so plan your trip around these times for the best results. Good luck out there, and tight lines
