March 12 Fishing Report - Reds, Trout, and Offshore Action

Alright y'all, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 12, 2025. The sun's coming up at 7:13 AM and setting at 7:07 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 76°F and a light southeast breeze. Perfect conditions for hitting the water, if you ask me. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a high tide at 7:38 AM measuring 0.22 feet, and a low tide at 7:06 PM at 0.0 feet. That incoming tide in the morning should get the fish moving, so plan accordingly. Folks have been reporting some good action lately. Redfish are biting well in the marshes, with some nice slot-sized fish being caught. Speckled trout are starting to show up in better numbers too, especially around the outer bays and along the coast. For you offshore anglers, there's been a decent yellowfin tuna bite about 40 miles out. A few boats even managed to hook into some early season cobia. As for what's working, live shrimp is always a good bet this time of year. But if you're throwing artificials, gold spoons and soft plastics in natural colors have been producing. For the specks, try suspending twitch baits or soft plastics under a popping cork. If you're heading out, I'd recommend checking out Lake Borgne or the Biloxi Marsh for some inshore action. The MRGO rocks have been holding some nice trout too. For you offshore folks, the lumps southeast of Venice have been hot for tuna. Remember, the fish are there, you just gotta outsmart 'em. Tight lines, y'all, and don't forget to send me your catch photos! This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
