 This is Artificial Lure with your November 9th fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans region.

Today we're waking up to a classic coastal fall morning—temperatures hovering in the upper 50s to low 60s at first light, with a sunrise at 6:21 AM and sunset dialing in around 5:28 PM. We've got light northwest winds this morning switching due north this afternoon, expected to build from about 10 knots to upwards of 20–25 knots, and seas pushing 2 to 4 feet, building higher later as that cold front moves in according to the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. There's a Small Craft Advisory, so smaller boats should keep a close eye on afternoon conditions.

The tide is running low today, with a tidal coefficient of 41 this morning and a midday drop to 37, according to Tides4Fishing's report for New Canal Station. Translation: that tidal swing is small, and current will be weak. You’ll want to focus your efforts during those key movement periods—the last couple hours around the low and high tides. That low amplitude favors inshore and backwater action, especially around the marshes, bayous, and drainage points.

Recent catches have been strong as the cool front’s arrival has the **speckled trout** and **redfish** pushed into interior marshes and bayous. Local anglers are reporting limits of specks in places like Lake Pontchartrain’s south shore and the Chef Menteur passes. Redfish are thick in the Biloxi Marsh, with slot reds eager to eat along grass points and shell flats. Anglers using popping corks tipped with live shrimp or Matrix Shad plastics in purple haze and shrimp creole colors are seeing the best results. Topwater action early—and even into mid-morning on cloudy days—has produced some explosive strikes around flooded grass.

Out in the deeper passes and nearshore rigs, the drum bite is still on. Folks drifting Carolina-rigged cut mullet or crab are wrestling in some solid black drum and the odd sheepshead. The flounder run is on the upswing—recent YouTube trip reports around the Louisiana barrier islands are full of “doormat”-sized fish taken on live finger mullet and white paddletail soft plastics bounced slow along the bottom.

Hot spots today include:
- **Bayou Bienvenue and the MRGO Wall:** Consistent trout and redfish reports, clear water, good bait movement.
- **Biloxi Marsh, near Bayou La Loutre:** High concentrations of reds holding on points; the marsh drains are loaded on the outgoing tide.

Weather-wise, the wind’s turning up midday—so hit those protected marshes, inside cuts, and leeward banks. Artificial lures to bring include:
- **Matrix Shad in shrimp creole and purple haze**
- **Z-Man DieZel MinnowZ in pearl or glow**
- **Topwater baits like the Heddon Super Spook Junior** for those early morning pushes.
- For bait, live shrimp or finger mullet are gold standards.

If you’re feeling adventurous and the boats can safely make the run, try outside Breton Sound for bull reds staging up on windblown points and shell reefs.

Remember, stronger winds this afternoon will churn up the water, so focus on areas with natural protection or find that clean water edge for a shot at the bigger fish.
