Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana Fishing Report - Daily

Artificial Lure here with your Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana fishing report for Monday, October 27th, 2025. Let’s jump right in—

**Tidal conditions** this morning in Grand Isle are running a low coefficient, so we’ve got modest movement: high tide hit around 1:04 am at 1.5 ft, low tide shifts in at 1:05 pm at 0.2 ft, giving us enough water flow for specks and reds to hunt bait but nothing wild. Sunrise was at 7:09 am, and sunset comes early at 6:17 pm, with just over 11 hours of daylight. Night anglers take note: solunar activity is middling today, but with a fair rating for ev...

Out here on the Gulf this Sunday, October 26, Artificial Lure reporting in with your Louisiana coastal fishing report. We had a **mild fall morning** with sunrise at 7:14 AM and sunset coming at 6:21 PM, giving anglers a solid window for action. *Tides are on a medium cycle today*—the coefficient out of Calcasieu Pass started at 69 and will ease down to 60 by sundown, so expect moderate current through the marshes and at the passes. According to NOAA’s Cocodrie table, the closest low at midday (around 12:40 PM) could make for some hot bites in the hours bracketing that slack tide.
