Fishing the Gulf Coast: Trout, Reds, and More for Louisiana Anglers on January 7th, 2026

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Gulf Coast angling ace, bringin' ya the straight scoop on fishin' in Louisiana's Gulf waters this fine January 7th, 2026. Dawn broke 'round 6:31 AM, sun dips at 5:22 PM per FishingReminder's solunar charts, with that waxin' gibbous moon pushin' prime bites: major windows 7:32-9:32 AM and 7:44-9:44 PM, minors at 12:36 AM-2:36 AM and 2:28-4:28 PM. Tides at Calcasieu Pass show risin' water headin' to highs 'round 2-ish feet, fallin' later—perfect for sweepin' baits, like Tides4Fishing charts got listed. Weather's holdin' cool and crisp, post-front north winds clearin' the bays, settin' up dawn and dusk action. Speckled trout are hot in dead-end canals like Myrtle Grove—Louisiana Sportsman says it's top-notch this month, with one angler pullin' near 7-pounders from Lake Pontchartrain hotspots just weeks back. Reds cruisin' marsh edges on fallin' tides, bull reds stackin' jetties at Grand Isle and Venice; flounder giggin' current pockets. Limits comin' steady on specks and reds, some hefty bass diggin' deep in the chill. Rig up with topwaters early, switch to soft plastics under poppin' corks or gold spoons for reds—live shrimp or cut mullet seals the deal on jetties. Paddle tails slow-rolled for flounder, crankbaits on windblown banks for bass. Fishin' Reminder notes oyster reefs and bridge pylons lit up for specks. Hit these hot spots: Myrtle Grove Canal for canal trout slammin', and Grand Isle jetties for tailin' reds—position down-current in drains two hours 'fore and after fall.
