New Orleans Fishing Report: March 14, 2025 - Redfish, Trout & More Biting in the Big Easy

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for March 14, 2025 in the Big Easy and surrounding Gulf waters. Sunrise today is at 7:11 AM, with sunset coming in at 7:08 PM, giving us a solid 12 hours of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 72°F and light winds out of the southeast at 5-10 mph. Not too shabby for a day on the water! Tide-wise, we've got a low tide at 2:33 PM sitting at 0.1 ft, followed by a high tide at 8:09 PM at 0.14 ft. With these modest tides, focus on fishing the moving water during tide changes for best results. Fish activity has been picking up lately as we transition into spring. Redfish and speckled trout have been the stars of the show, with good numbers being caught in Lake Pontchartrain and along the coastal marshes. We've also seen some nice flounder and sheepshead in the mix. For lures, you can't go wrong with a gold spoon or a soft plastic paddletail in chartreuse or white. The Z-Man MinnowZ has been absolutely crushing it lately. If you're more of a live bait person, shrimp under a popping cork is always a solid choice round these parts. As for hot spots, I'd recommend giving the Seabrook Bridge area a shot for some nice trout action. The rocks along the Causeway have also been producing well for reds and sheepshead. If you're looking to venture out a bit further, the rigs just off the coast have been holding some nice mangrove snapper and the occasional cobia. Remember to keep an eye on those changing tides and adjust your tactics accordingly. And as always, don't forget to swing by your local bait shop for the latest intel and to support our local fishing community. Tight lines, y'all! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
