7 Day Fishing Weather
The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooler October temps are turning on the bite across Louisiana’s coast and marsh. Speckled trout are stacking along oyster reefs and bridge pylons in Lake Pontchartrain and Calcasieu; work early morning topwaters, then switch to soft plastics under a popping cork as the sun rises. Redfish are cruising marsh edges and drains on a falling tide; gold spoons and live shrimp near points are producing. Expect some hefty bull reds at jetties around Grand Isle and Venice with cut mullet or crab.

Inside the bays, look for flounder around current-swept pockets; slow-roll paddle tails along the bottom. In freshwater, largemouth bass are chasing shad in the Atchafalaya spillways and Toledo Bend—crankbaits on windblown banks and finesse worms after fronts. Blue catfish are active in deeper river bends on cut bait.

Key conditions: post-front north winds improve water clarity; best action is at dawn and dusk with moving water. Bring lighter leaders on clear days and upsize after rains.

Top tip: Target marsh drains two hours before and after a falling tide; position down-current and let your bait sweep naturally through the funnel for aggressive strikes.
