Gulf Coast Fishing Report: Trout, Reds, and More Biting in Shell Beach and Hopedale

Good morning y'all This is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your June 14th, 2025 fishing report for the Gulf of Mexico and Louisiana coast. Today's gonna be a beautiful day for fishin', with the sun risin' at about 6:04 AM and setrin' at 8:04 PM. As for the tides, we're lookin' at a high tide around 8:00 AM and a low tide about 2:00 PM. The weather's lookin' good too, with partly cloudy skies and a gentle breeze.

Speckled trout, redfish, and flounder have been the main catches lately. The speckled trout are goin' strong, especially in areas like Shell Beach and Hopedale. According to Louisiana Sportsman, June is one of the best months for inshore fishin' in these spots. Spanish mackerel are also startin' to show up, which is always a thrill.

For lures, I recommend usin' topwater plugs like the MirrOlure for explosive strikes. Spinnerbaits, like the Z-Man Chatterbait, are also great for murky waters, and the Berkley Gulp Saltwater lures are always reliable for reds. If you're lookin' for live bait, try usin' a few shrimp or some mullet.

As for hot spots, Shell Beach and Hopedale are lookin' real promising. If you're lookin' to mix it up, try headin' over to the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge for some great marshland fishin'.

Red snapper season is in full swing, so if you're headin' out to federal waters, make sure you're aware of the regulations. You can catch 'em on rigs and reefs out in the Gulf.
