Down at Grand Isle, the water's falling with low tide still a few hours out. That's good news—you've got options depending where you're heading. Water temps are holding steady in that comfortable zone where the fish like to hunt, so we should see decent activity today. **Light & Moon** Sun came up around 6:53 AM in Baton Rouge, and we're looking at sunset around 7:24 PM, giving us a solid twelve and a half hours on the water. The moon's been working overnight, which often triggers feeding periods, especially around those solunar peaks we're tracking. **Fish Activity & Recent Catches** Inshore and nearshore fishing's been strong in our region. According to recent reports, anglers have been crushing it on redfish and speckled trout—those are your bread and butter around here. Mahi mahi, kingfish, and flounder are also showing up nicely. One captain just landed a monster white sea bass recently, so big fish are definitely in the area. **Best Techniques & Tackle** Light tackle fishing with live bait is your go-to today. Artificial lures are working great too—get yourself some realistic crawfish patterns, they're absolutely devastating on bass and redfish. Bottom fishing will catch you flounder, while trolling picks up kingfish and mahi. **Hot Spots** Head to Chef Menteur Pass with that rising tide—it's a classic producer. For the second option, the Tchefuncte River area around Madisonville is firing right now with excellent solunar activity expected. Get yourself out there and tight lines.
