Promising Fishing in the Gulf Despite Stormy Weather - Adapt to Changing Conditions for Success in Louisiana's Inshore Hotspots

  • Résumé

  • As of November 9, 2024, the fishing scene in the Gulf of Mexico, particularly in Louisiana, is looking promising despite some challenging weather conditions.

    ### Weather and Tides
    The weather is a bit iffy with high winds and a low-pressure system moving into the Gulf, but this hasn't deterred the fish from biting. Tides are extremely high, allowing fish to venture into the back lakes and bays, making these areas prime spots for fishing.

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:00 PM, giving you a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing trips.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a lot of activity, especially for speckled trout, redfish, and black drum. In the New Orleans area, anglers were catching a good number of speckled trout, many in the 20-inch range, using plastics, live shrimp under popping corks, and topwaters[3].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **Marsh Barbara’s Hopedale**: This area has been producing some big redfish, with reports of bull reds being caught in the evenings and at night under the lights[5].
    - **Boothville-Venice**: Anglers here have been successful with inshore fishing charters, catching trout, redfish, and a variety of other species like drum and mangrove snapper[3].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    Live shrimp have been the go-to bait, especially under popping corks or on 1/16 ounce jig heads. For those targeting flounder, weightless swimbait hooks with Gulp Shrimp have been effective. Plastics and topwaters are also working well for trout and redfish[1][3].

    ### Additional Tips
    Be cautious of the high winds and changing weather conditions. Protected areas like the back waters and rivers are producing well, especially for redfish and drum. Keep an eye out for bird activity, as it can indicate where the fish are feeding on shrimp.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on the water in Louisiana, just make sure to stay safe and adapt to the changing weather.
