    New Orleans Fishing Report: Redfish, Specks, and More on the Bite
    2025/09/17
    Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico New Orleans fishing report, Wednesday, September 17, 2025.

    The day kicks off with sunrise at 6:46 a.m. and sunset rolling in at 7:01 p.m. Over twelve hours of light to make the most of the bite, and the solunar chart is showing fair activity for today—expect some extra fish movement around those dawn and dusk transitions. If you’re an early bird, there was a low tide at 4:00 a.m., and you’ll want to key in on the high at 4:57 p.m.; that afternoon push is looking like prime time for moving bait and hungry predators, thanks to a solid tidal coefficient of 59 out of 100—enough to churn up the marshes and ponds, and get baitfish moving, which always fires up the action according to Tides4Fishing.

    Weather-wise, we’re seeing that classic late-September inshore combo—a bit humid, a decent southerly breeze, and temps riding high but not unbearable. Afternoon thunderstorms are always a maybe, so keep an eye to the sky and an extra poncho tucked in your bag. Water clarity is fair following some variable winds, and the temperature remains comfortable enough to find redfish tailing shallow and specks cruising over the reefs.

    Fishing around New Orleans has been predictably productive. The last week saw solid bags of redfish and speckled trout coming out of Lake Borgne, the Rigolets, and the Biloxi Marsh. Anglers are reporting steady limits of reds, especially where marsh drains meet deeper ponds or bayou mouths, and specks are thick over oyster reefs and along current lines. Mixed in are nice sheepshead, hefty black drum, and a sprinkle of flounder for those pitching near structure.

    Best baits and lures? It’s tough to beat live shrimp under a popping cork this time of year for specks and reds, but plastics are absolutely holding their own. Local guides swear by Matrix Shad paddle tails in lemonhead or shrimp creole colors, rigged tight to the bottom during slack water, then a tad higher as that incoming tide floods in. For topwater thrills at daybreak, a bone Super Spook Jr. or a classic Skitter Walk is a go-to along grass lines—expect bruiser reds to explode on a slow walk. If you’re fishing deeper around the bridges or passes, try a jighead tipped with Gulp swimming mullet or a soft plastic shrimp. Cracked crab or cut mullet remains king for black drum and sheepshead near pilings and bulkheads.

    Recent catches have included limits of slot reds up to 27 inches, plenty of 14- to 19-inch specks, and bull reds sampled at the passes for those using heavier gear. A few flounder—never plentiful but always welcome—are being caught by anglers bouncing white curly tail grubs right along the bottom. Black drum in the 5- to 10-pound class are regulars around pilings.

    For hot spots, don’t sleep on the Chef Menteur Pass—paddle tail plastics are producing consistently where bait is funneling in on the incoming tide. The bridges and shorelines along the Rigolets have been lights out for both specks and reds at first light. And if you’re itching to venture farther out, Shell Beach is still giving up quality trout and an occasional mixed bag of drum and sheepshead near the rocks.

    That wraps it up for today’s fishing scoop around New Orleans and the Gulf. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s fishing report—don't forget to subscribe for your daily fix of shoreline secrets and hot bites. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Mild Conditions, Promising Catches: Gulf Fishing Report for New Orleans, September 2025

    Mild Conditions, Promising Catches: Gulf Fishing Report for New Orleans, September 2025
    2025/09/14
    Artificial Lure here with your Sunday fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and the great city of New Orleans—September 14, 2025.

    We’ve got **mild conditions** out on the water this morning, thanks to light northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots, and seas running about 2 feet. According to the National Weather Service, these conditions should stick around most of the day, with similar patterns overnight. So for those taking out a skiff or heading offshore, you can expect a gentle ride. The sunrise hit just after 6:40 AM, and sunset will be around 7:10 PM, giving us **plenty of daylight to wet a line**.

    **The tides today:** We’re looking at a favorable incoming tide around the heart of the morning, peaking just after noon. That means prime feeding windows for inshore reds, specks, and flounder, especially in the marshes and at the mouths of bayous.

    **Recent catches:** The talk on the docks is real positive. Inshore, the Lake Borgne and Chef Pass marsh edges are delivering steady action with limits of **speckled trout**—plenty between 15 and 20 inches—and a solid number of slot-size **redfish**. Anglers are seeing mixed bags, with some bonus **flounder** and the occasional **sheepshead** around structure. Offshore, the bluewater crews running out of Venice reported decent counts of **mangrove snapper**, steady **king mackerel**, and some hefty **bull reds** holding at wrecks and rigs. Bull reds are moving in thick as water temps nudge below 80°F, signaling that fall patterns are setting up.

    Best producers this week have been **live shrimp** under corks for trout and reds, and **finger mullet** or cut pogies for bigger reds and flounder. Folks tossing soft plastics—especially Matrix Shad in lime/chartreuse and Deadly Dudley in plum/chartreuse—are seeing plenty of bites. If you’re after action on top, walking baits like the **MirrOlure Top Dog** at daybreak have been deadly in the shallows. Offshore, the snapper and kingfish crew are getting it done on cigar minnows, squid, and vertical jigging with bucktail jigs tipped with strip baits.

    **Top spots** this weekend:
    - The eastern marshes of **Lake Borgne** are seeing heavy schooling activity just off the deeper cuts.
    - **Bayou Bienvenue** and its adjacent grass flats are loaded with schooling reds early.
    - Out of **Venice**, hit the West Delta 27 and 29 rigs for mangrove snapper and king mackerel. The rigs near Southwest Pass are putting out some monster bull reds—make sure your tackle’s up for a fight!

    With the tide coming in strong and the weather playing nice, you’ll want to keep a live well stocked, your tackle light, and your lures ready. Bait shops across St. Bernard and Plaquemines are reporting healthy stocks of fresh shrimp and mullet—grab some before you head out.

    The forecast holds through the week, meaning **steady, predictable conditions**. Watch for afternoon pop-up showers, but the early bite should be reliable. As the water continues cooling down and the days shorten, expect the fishing to only get hotter, especially for those targeting trout and reds in skinny water.

    That’s your Gulf fishing fix for the day. Thanks for tuning in—don’t forget to subscribe for daily reports, and keep your lines tight and your stories tall. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.

  • Late Summer Transition Bite Heats Up in the Louisiana Marsh and Beyond

    Late Summer Transition Bite Heats Up in the Louisiana Marsh and Beyond
    2025/09/13
    Artificial Lure here with your fresh-off-the-water fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and New Orleans area, Saturday, September 13th, 2025.

    We're kicking off the day with a classic late-summer pattern, and fall transition action is heating up from Delacroix marsh to the rigs south of Grand Isle. According to Louisiana Sportsman, September’s a transition month—specks and redfish are on the move, chased by cooler nights and the first hints of bait migration. Capt. Sean Thornton out of Delacroix reports solid numbers of mixed-size speckled trout, with keeper reds mixing in just outside the grass lines and in deeper passes.

    Let's get into the details. Today’s sunrise was at 6:39 a.m., with sunset on deck for 7:15 p.m. That gives us over twelve and a half hours of daylight—plenty of time to wet a line. Tides are running strong: Tides4Fishing says we’re looking at a high tidal coefficient, starting at 77 this morning and pushing up to 90 by evening, which means plenty of water movement and active fish, especially on the outgoing tide late morning and around dusk.

    Weatherwise, it’s classic southern Louisiana—mid-80s by afternoon, humidity making it feel just a notch stickier. Winds are steady southeast at 8-12 knots. No storms brewing but keep an eye out for fast-moving showers, especially late afternoon.

    Now, onto the bite. This week, anglers are pulling in solid speckled trout—sizes ranging from 14 to 21 inches—with a few heavies over 24 inches reported off Bayou Bienvenue and near the MRGO rocks. Redfish action is lively, with both slot reds (16–27 inches) and a handful of rampaging bulls, especially around the deeper cuts and outer bays. Near Grand Isle, there's even talk of big jacks chasing mullet along the beaches, and the sheepshead bite has been a surprise bonus for some dock and rig hoppers.

    Best baits and lures right now? For trout, you can’t go wrong with live shrimp under a popping cork, but artificial fans are doing just as well working Matrix Shad or Vudu shrimp in the Limbo Slice and Opening Night patterns. Topwater baits like Rapala Skitterwalks at sunrise are nailing aggressive fish in the shallows, especially on calmer mornings. For reds, gold spoons and soft-plastic paddle tails in green or root beer colors have been hot. Bull reds offshore? Try cut mullet or live pogies on a Carolina rig.

    If you’re looking for absolute hot spots, circle Delacroix Point and Shell Beach as your inshore targets—these marshy edges are full of life. Offshore, the Four Bayous and near the Grand Isle bridges are producing consistent action, especially an hour before and after tide changes.

    One notable catch this week comes from Maurice Terrebonne, who hauled in a monster speckled trout off Elmer’s Island on a Carolina rigged live pogie—solid proof live bait’s always in style.

    A reminder for the weekenders: the shrimpers in southwest Louisiana are noticing smaller hauls, partly blaming industrial activity according to News from the States, but there’s still plenty of bait inshore, and the predator fish are following.

    That’s your boots-on-the-ground look at today’s conditions. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s Gulf of Mexico, New Orleans fishing report—don’t forget to subscribe and stay hooked for daily updates and pro tips.

  • "Late Summer Sizzle: Reds, Specks, and More in the New Orleans Marshes"

    "Late Summer Sizzle: Reds, Specks, and More in the New Orleans Marshes"
    2025/09/12
    Artificial Lure here, giving you the scoop for fishing in and around New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico on this Friday, September 12th, 2025. It’s shaping up to be a classic late-summer Louisiana day, and y’all better believe the bite’s heating up as fall creeps in.

    Sunrise hit at 6:38 AM, with sunset rolling in tonight at 7:13 PM. The tides are favorable—New Orleans area is working a solid mid-morning outgoing tide, peaking around 10 AM, so if you’re heading out, those moving waters early today are golden for most inshore species. According to the National Weather Service, winds are light northeast at 5–10 knots, seas around 2 feet, smooth inside and near the marsh edges, making for an easy and comfortable drift just the way locals like it. Storm chances are low today, but bring your slicker—late afternoon pop-up showers are always in play this time of year.

    Now to the fun part: the fish! The word from Louisiana Sportsman is that bull redfish are rampaging the marshes and passes from Shell Beach to the Chandeleur Sound. These bruisers are pushing inshore, so if you want to tangle with a big red, now’s the time. Folks are landing plenty of reds in the 27–36 inch range, especially around the edges of the Biloxi Marsh and on the oyster beds off Hopedale. Slot reds, puppy drum, and a steady run of speckled trout are holding on the deeper cuts and outer grass lines. Night fishermen working near the bridges have reported solid flounder catches, and there’s still a few sheepshead and black drum mixed in around the pilings.

    Best lures today: anything that mimics a mullet or shrimp is money. H&H Cocahoe Minnows in glow/chartreuse on 3/8 oz jigheads, Matrix Shad in “shrimp creole,” and classic gold spoons all drew bites this week. If you’re fishing the cleaner water on the rising tide, swim soft plastics slow; if it gets dirtier, swap to Gulp! swimming mullet or live shrimp under a popping cork. Bull reds have been hammering cut mullet and big menhaden chunks fished on the bottom near passes and channel mouths. For trout, live shrimp is king, but Berkley Gulp! and Vudu Shrimp under rattling corks are a close second.

    A couple of hot spots if you want to put fish in the box:
    - The mouth of the MRGO (Mississippi River Gulf Outlet) near the rocks is producing a mixed bag, especially for reds and trout on the edges of deeper water.
    - Breton Sound rigs and the shell humps southeast of Black Bay are loaded with specks in the early morning, especially if you beat the boat traffic.

    If you’ve got a kayak, the marsh drains off Delacroix and the Roseau cane edges near Pointe à la Hache are hard to beat for a mixed bag. Anchor up at an intersection with current, toss a popping cork, and hold on.

    Current catch reports around the area show lots of limits on reds, good numbers of specks up to 20 inches, and plenty of black drum. Sabiki rigs fished off deeper piers are picking up white trout, with a few Spanish mackerel mixed in at the mouth of Lake Borgne. The bite should stay hot as these northeast winds push cooler water in and the fish key in on bait moving through the marsh.

  • "Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: Reds, Specks, and Offshore Snapper Bite in Early Fall"

    "Gulf of Mexico Fishing Report: Reds, Specks, and Offshore Snapper Bite in Early Fall"
    2025/09/10
    Good mornin’, y’all, it’s Artificial Lure checking in with your up-to-the-minute Gulf of Mexico fishing report from down New Orleans way, September 10, 2025. Water’s got that early fall pulse, and folks have been making the most of it, from the passes to the marsh. Here’s what’s biting, where to cast, and how to put a bend in your rod today.

    First up, let’s talk tides and sky. Down around Grand Isle, the tide is running big—a tidal coefficient starting at 106 and fading to 100 by sunset, so we’re seeing strong, moving water through the day. Those big swings stir up bait and turn the bite on, especially along shell points and around the cuts. Sun poked up at 6:53 a.m. this morning, and you’ll have daylight till about 7:24 p.m. Winds are laid back compared to earlier this week—expect east winds about 10 to 15 knots on open water, which means 2 to 3-foot chop. There’s still a chance for a morning shower or stray thunderhead, but things look to settle and turn dry by midweek. According to the National Weather Service, conditions are much improved from earlier squalls: perfect for anglers with a sturdy skiff.

    Fish activity is heating up with those tides. Louisiana Sportsman notes September is a _transition month_, and that’s ringing true right now: the redfish are pushing into the shallows and smashing bait on the higher tides, with the best topwater action running early and late. Folks tossing gold spoons, chartreuse soft plastics, and live shrimp under popping corks in the marshes around Hopedale, Delacroix, and Shell Beach are seeing slot reds and a healthy mix of puppy drum. Capt. Sean Thornton, running Delacroix charters, says now’s the time for sight-casting to big bronze backs tailing in flooded grass—try the grass flats in the Biloxi Marsh for your personal best.

    As the sun climbs, speckled trout have been holding in deeper current seams, especially near bridges and at the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. Joey Gauthier—a local legend—points folks to the 24-Mile Bridge, where larger trout have been showing up, chasing mullet on the moving tide. Early is better: trout are hitting live shrimp, chartreuse and opening night plastics, and Bite-A-Bait topwaters at first light, then sliding deeper by mid-morning. There’s some action down the MRGO rocks as well, where popping corks and soft plastics deliver keeper trout mixed with an occasional flounder.

    Offshore, it’s still snapper city. Zac Clarke out of Port Fourchon hauled in a huge red snapper on dead pogie thirty miles out—if you head offshore, focus on structure like The Aquarium, or any of the closer rigs off Empire and Belle Pass. Expect a mix of red snapper, mangrove snapper, and the odd cobia. Dead bait, big jigs, and slip rigs are doing most of the damage offshore.

    Best baits right now:
    - For reds and drum—can’t beat live or fresh dead shrimp under a popping cork, or Gulp! Swimming Mullet in new penny. Gold spoons are redfish killers, especially when there’s sun on the water.
    - For specks—live shrimp, Matrix Shad in “lemon head” or “magneto” colors, and MirrOlure MirrOdines when it’s slick.
    - Offshore—dead pogie, cut mullet, bucktail jigs, and big glow plastics if you’re deep-dropping.

    A couple of hot spots:
    - Shell Beach’s long rocks and east toward Bayou Biloxi for redfish and transition trout.
    - The west side of Barataria Pass at Grand Isle for trout at dawn and mixed bags as the light comes up.

    Anglers have been reporting steady limits in the passes at sunrise, with one-party limits of reds and plenty of speckled trout for dinner. There’s even been early tarpon sighted rolling the deeper channels—though the bite’s still spotty, so bring heavy gear if you get lucky.

  • The Big Water Bite: Tides, Shrimp, and New Orleans Fishing Action

    The Big Water Bite: Tides, Shrimp, and New Orleans Fishing Action
    2025/09/07
    This is Artificial Lure reporting from the edge of the Gulf, bringing your local New Orleans fishing scoop for Sunday, September 7, 2025. Today we’re talking big water, tidal swings, and one heck of a shrimp season opener.

    Sunrise hit at 6:40am and sunset’s at 7:16pm. You’re getting twelve and a half hours of daylight, just enough to grab that early topwater bite and stick around for a golden hour closer. Tide action is jumping: the low rolled in pre-dawn around 5:42am at 0.45 feet, with the high tide peaking tonight near 7:14pm at 0.86 feet, according to Tide-Forecast.com and Tides4fishing. The tidal coefficient is high—expect strong water movement and bait on the move. Bigger swings mean predators will be lurking near points and cuts, especially as we hit those solunar windows close to sunrise and sunset.

    The weather’s on your side until later this evening. Winds are light at 5 knots early, seas are calm at about a foot—perfect for both inshore and nearshore runs. But a strong front is expected to move in late today, flipping the breeze to a gusty north and roughing things up into Monday, per the National Weather Service Marine Forecast. If you’re looking to sneak offshore for some snapper or hit the rigs, now’s your shot before the blow sets in.

    Let’s talk fish. Rojas Fishing Charters reports out of New Orleans marshes that the redfish and specks are chewing, with plenty of action for those casting around grass lines, shell points, and the edges of current rips. Most are catching and releasing, but the numbers are solid, especially on the moving tides. Bull reds are making inshore pushes—these heavyweights are bending rods everywhere from Lake Borgne to the pass entrances. Look for crashing bait and crashing birds.

    In the bays and Lake Pontchartrain, trout are responding best during dawn and dusk, especially around the Causeway and along the eastern shoreline. August and early September hauls have been heavy, with fish up to 22 inches reported by Louisiana Sportsman readers. Shrimp action is prime as the delayed inshore fall shrimp season just opened. This means not only can you tip your jigs with fresh shrimp, but it’s bringing all the predators in for a feast. Red drum, southern flounder, and speckled trout are dialed in on these migrating shrimp, reports the Louisiana Shrimp Association.

    Top baits today: nothing beats fresh shrimp under a popping cork for the inshore bite. But don’t sleep on plastics—white and chartreuse paddle tails are getting smoked. If you’re working the bridges or deeper holes, a bucktail jig bounced off the bottom remains a killer, especially when tipped with a sliver of shrimp. Topwater plugs at first light will get explosive strikes from trout and reds. Offshore folks—drop live pogies or cut mullet around the rigs for snapper and big bull reds.

    Best hot spots this morning: the northern shorelines of Lake Borgne, especially near the Rigolets and Chef Menteur Pass, are delivering steady catches. Lake Pontchartrain’s Causeway pilings are loaded with big trout around sunrise. For the adventurous, work the shell reefs south of Hopedale or the oyster beds inside Breton Sound.

    That’s your rundown for today out of the Crescent City. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure. Don’t forget to hit the subscribe button for your daily fishing fix. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • "New Orleans Weekend Fishing Forecast: Redfish Rampaging, Trout Biting, and Snapper Slammin'"

    "New Orleans Weekend Fishing Forecast: Redfish Rampaging, Trout Biting, and Snapper Slammin'"
    2025/09/06
    Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for the waters in and around New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico. Tide’s running strong today with a tidal coefficient of 76, which means there’s plenty of movement—those fish are on the chew. You’re getting about 13 and a half hours of sunlight, with the sun rising just before 6:39 AM and setting around 7:16 PM. That solar transit hits right at lunchtime today, so plan your spots[Paris Road Bridge tide chart].

    Weather’s looking fair to start: seas running 3 feet or less, hardly a wind to mention early, but keep an eye open for those scattered showers and a rogue thunderstorm in the afternoon. Bring your rainslicker just in case--that Gulf humidity’s gonna be thick[NOAA Marine Forecast].

    Fish activity is picking up with these tides. Louisiana Sportsman reported bull reds rampaging inshore just a week or so back, and we’re seeing big schools pushing bait into the marsh edges and nearby passes. Folks are hauling in plenty of slot reds and some oversize bulls, especially early and late when that surface bite pops off. Venice and Shell Beach are both on fire for redfish, and the bridges around Chef Menteur have had some real tug-of-war battles the past couple days.

    Trout fishing’s still good—those speckled trout are holding around deep cuts and oyster reefs. Best action’s been at sunrise on soft plastics in opening night or glow, as well as live shrimp under a popping cork. Try the Rigolets or the north side of Lake Borgne—those spots have been steady for solid keepers[Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Daily Fishing Report].

    If you’re itching to run offshore, the snapper bite hasn’t let up yet. Boats running out of Hopedale and Port Fourchon are coming back with boxes full of red snapper. Jigging butterfly jigs or dropping squid down to the rigs and reefs is your best bet. And don’t sleep on mangrove snapper around the rigs either—cut bait’s doing the work.

    Artificial baits have been putting in major work. For redfish, gold spoons and smoke-colored paddle tails are local favorites, especially around grass and oyster beds. Topwater lures like Spooks and Skitter Walks are getting explosive hits at dawn and dusk. If live bait’s your thing, nothing beats fresh shrimp on the bottom, or finger mullet when you can find ‘em.

    Two hot spots you can’t miss this weekend:
    - Elmer’s Island—reds and specks are thick in the surf and the cuts, and you can fish it without a boat.
    - The MRGO rocks near Shell Beach—consistent for trout and puppy drum, plus it’s a bull red magnet with the pushing tide.

    Remember, fishing’s been hot when tide and sunrise lines up, so hit those transition times for your best shot. Always check for any last-minute advisories from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries before heading out.

    Good luck on the water, save me a spot at the cleaning table, and thanks for tuning in to your local report. Don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss the bite window. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Blistering September Bite Lights Up New Orleans Inshore Fishery - Quiet Please Fishing Report

    Blistering September Bite Lights Up New Orleans Inshore Fishery - Quiet Please Fishing Report
    2025/09/05
    Artificial Lure here with your September 5th fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico waters around New Orleans. This Friday morning kicked off with sunrise at 6:37 a.m. and you’ll want to plan your trip around prime hours—sunset clocks in at 7:26 p.m. today, giving you a solid window for both dawn and dusk action. According to Tides4Fishing, tides are moving strong with a high coefficient over 80, meaning big tidal swings and strong current; first high tide hit just after dawn and we’re heading into a solid evening push, so work those moving water edges for the best bite.

    Weather-wise, the National Weather Service calls for a classic late summer setup—light east winds around 5 to 10 knots near shore with waves about 2 feet and an uptick in scattered thunderstorms after midday. Offshore breezes pick up to 10-15 knots with seas 2 to 3 feet, so be alert if storms build in the afternoon. Keep an eye to the sky and don’t push your luck around lightning.

    Now let’s talk fish. Water temps are in that sweet spot for inshore action. According to local charters featured on FishingBooker, catches this week have been absolutely on fire for speckled trout, with several boats limiting out on keeper-sized specs and solid slot redfish in the marshes and near the passes. Best action’s early and late, especially around the mouths of the Mississippi River, Delacroix, and Chef Pass.

    Folks targeting bull reds and black drum have been doing well right at the edges where marsh drains meet open bays—the big reds are moving back in after their recent spawn out on the Gulf. This is prime time for 20-plus pound brutes, and they’re downright greedy for live or cut mullet, blue crab chunks, or big fresh shrimp.

    For you lure slingers, the bite’s been solid on popping corks with live shrimp; but don’t overlook artificial baits—Vudu Shrimp, Matrix Shad, and gold spoons have been tricking both redfish and specs. If you like to throw ultra-light setups, anglers have raved about the Buoyancy 7'0" micro lure rods for feeling those light trout taps. Topwater action has also been steady at first light, especially on bone-white Spooks and Skitter Walks—great for those heart-stopping blowups.

    Sheepshead and flounder are filling the cooler along hard structure; bring some fiddler crabs or mud minnows if you’re after these. And don’t forget, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries just wrapped up a big batch of Florida bass stockings, so freshwater action is solid if marsh salinity gets too high.

    Hot spots? My top two picks today are:
    - The east side Biloxi Marsh, drifting over oyster shell points and grass lines—lotta redfish tails pushing shallow.
    - The old Mr. Go channel near Bayou Bienvenue for speckled trout—steady catches the past week, especially on a moving tide.

    Before you hit the water, remember: keep your gear light for trout but stout for those big reds, and always check your local regs on size limits and creel. With the marsh popping, tides pumping, and fish active, it’s a classic September bite South Louisiana is famous for.
