It’s Artificial Lure reporting with your Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans fishing update for November 5, 2025. If you’re tuning in from the Big Easy or packing up for a saltwater run, here’s what you can expect in our corner of the coast today.

Let’s kick things off with the **tide and weather report**. New Canal Station is showing a tidal coefficient around 34 to 41, so we’re working with weaker tides and mellow currents—meaning less dramatic water movement. It’s a cooler morning with **north winds** still hanging around, which is keeping the water clean and the marshes crisp. Expect sunrise at 6:38 AM and sunset at 5:14 PM. Bring a light jacket if you’re heading out early or planning to ride those dusk bites. According to MarineWeather, winds are staying southeast at about 5 to 10 knots, with waves a foot or less—perfect conditions to get out there and set the hook.

Fishing activity is picking up now that cool fronts have started to settle in, and predators are feeding heavy at dawn and dusk. With the **fall transition**, the **speckled trout bite is hot** over the oyster reefs and around the bridges in Lake Pontchartrain. Local legends from Louisiana Sportsman and guides across the marsh are reporting fast morning action on topwaters, especially just before sunrise. Once the grass starts warming up, swap over to soft plastics under a popping cork for suspended trout working in 4 to 6 feet of water.

**Redfish are running strong** along the drains and edges of the marsh, especially on a falling tide. A familiar tip from local hands: Work gold spoons or toss live shrimp near those pinch points. Around the mouths—think Hopedale or Shell Beach—slot reds are hanging tight to current-swept points, while **bull reds** in the 30- to 40-inch class are cruising the passes near Grand Isle and the Mississippi River jetties. Bring some cut mullet or crab if you’re hunting a biggie.

If it’s **flounder you’re after**, paddle tails slow-rolled along the bottom of current seams are putting fish in the box. Reports from this past weekend show steady numbers, with some doormats sliding up around Rigolets Pass and the cuts feeding into Lake Borgne. On the freshwater side, the Atchafalaya and spillway bass are chasing shad, making crankbaits and finesse plastics the go-to when the wind’s up.

The best lures this week? Top choices are **Salt Pro Minnows, gold spoons, and soft plastics** like Matrix Shad in natural colors. Bring along live shrimp or fresh cut bait for either under a cork or on the bottom. The bite is strongest with water moving, especially two hours on either side of a falling tide.

Hot spots? You can’t go wrong with:
- **Lake Pontchartrain bridges** (Highway 11 and the Twin Spans) for trout and slot reds.
- **Shell Beach and the MRGO** for mixed bags and that first true cold front bull red action.
- The **Bayou Bienvenue locks and marsh drains** for limits of slot reds and flatties on the right tide.

Recent catches proving the fish are moving: Anglers this week have pulled easy 15- to 18-inch specks with regularity around the reefs, reds have been thick up to 15 pounds in the passes, and a few sheepshead are showing up around the pilings if you want to fill a cooler.

That’s the word from the water today—clean conditions, active fish, and beautiful weather. Thanks for tuning into your New Orleans fishing report with Artificial Lure. Don’t forget to subscribe for more updates, and tight lines out there!
