  • Gulf Fishing Report: Mild Temps, High Fish Activity Await New Orleans Anglers

    Gulf Fishing Report: Mild Temps, High Fish Activity Await New Orleans Anglers
    Jan 12 2025
    If you're heading out to fish in the Gulf of Mexico off New Orleans today, January 12, 2025, here's what you need to know:

    First, let's talk about the weather. Expect mild daytime temperatures around 16°C (61°F) with about 5 hours of sunshine. Nighttime temperatures will dip to around 6°C (43°F), so make sure to pack accordingly. There's a moderate chance of rainfall, but it shouldn't dampen your fishing plans too much[2].

    Tides are crucial for fishing in this area. Today, you can expect the following tidal times: sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset is at 5:24 PM. The tides will be relatively mild, with highs around 10:39 AM and 10:57 PM, and lows at 4:43 AM and 5:08 PM. These mild tides should provide good conditions for fishing[2][5].

    Fish activity has been high despite the winter weather. Yesterday saw good catches of redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead. Redfish were active in the shallower waters and near drop-offs, while speckled trout and sheepshead were found in areas with good structure like oyster banks and deeper drop-offs[1][5].

    For lures, topwater lures are highly effective in this region. Walk the dog type stick baits (known as spooks) and poppers & chuggers are excellent choices. These lures simulate prey on the surface, attracting bigger fish from deeper waters. Crankbaits are also a good option, especially if you know how deep the bait needs to swim. Choose crankbaits with the right bill length to match the depth of the water you're fishing in[3].

    For hot spots, consider the areas around Lake Pontchartrain and the marshes of Delacroix. These areas are known for their abundant fish populations and good structure. Look for flooded grass at high tide and banks littered with oysters at low tide. The Rigolets and Chef Pass are also promising spots, especially during mild tidal conditions[1][5].

    In summary, today's fishing conditions look promising with mild tides, good fish activity, and plenty of sunshine. Use the right lures, pay attention to the tides, and you should have a successful day on the water.

  • New Orleans Fishing Forecast: Mild Temps, Trout, Reds, and Sheepshead Bites for January 10, 2025

    New Orleans Fishing Forecast: Mild Temps, Trout, Reds, and Sheepshead Bites for January 10, 2025
    Jan 10 2025
    If you're planning to hit the waters of the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans today, January 10, 2025, here's what you need to know.

    First off, the sunrise is at 6:57 AM, and sunset will be at 5:15 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips. The weather is looking decent, with daytime temperatures reaching up to 16°C and nighttime temperatures dipping to around 6°C. Expect about 5 hours of sunshine, but be prepared for some rainfall, as January sees an average of 10 days with some rain.

    Tides are mild today, which is favorable for fishing. Today's high tide is expected around late morning, and the low tide in the evening, with heights typical of our area's soft, once-a-day tide. This creates a great environment for inshore fishing.

    Fish activity has been robust, with reports of good catches in the recent days. Yesterday saw a lot of action, particularly for speckled trout, redfish, and sheepshead. These species thrive in Louisiana's mild winter conditions and can be found in good numbers around New Orleans.

    For the best fishing times, consider the solunar tables. Today's major bite times are from 03:14 AM to 05:14 AM and 03:27 PM to 05:27 PM, with minor bite times from 09:36 AM to 11:36 AM and 09:19 PM to 11:19 PM.

    When it comes to lures and bait, live or artificial shrimp are always a hit for speckled trout and redfish. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs or live oysters can be very effective. Soft plastics and jigs also work well, especially in areas with structure like reefs or points.

    Some hot spots to consider include the beaches and bays around New Orleans. Murphy Bay and Bay Island are good spots, especially during twilight times when they coincide with major or minor fishing times. Harbour entrances, such as Two Rivers Marina, are also productive due to the sheltered environment that attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Additionally, the MRGO Rocks or the junctions of water around Lake Pontchartrain tend to have moving water even during mild tides, which can attract fish.

    Overall, it's shaping up to be a great day for fishing in the Gulf of Mexico around New Orleans. Just keep an eye on the weather and adjust your fishing spots accordingly. Good luck out there

  • Gulf Fishing Report: Tides, Weather, and Top Spots Near New Orleans

    Gulf Fishing Report: Tides, Weather, and Top Spots Near New Orleans
    Jan 9 2025
    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
