# Friday Morning Fishing Report - Gulf Coast Louisiana
Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Gulf Coast fishing report for Friday, November 28th. Let me break down what's happening on the water today.
**Tides and Conditions**
We're looking at moderate tidal action this morning across South Pass and the surrounding areas. The maximum high tide in this region sits around 2.3 feet, with lows dropping to minus 1.3 feet. These aren't extreme swings, but they're workable for getting out there. Sunrise comes early around 6:15 AM, so if you're heading out now, you've got some solid light already. Sunset hits around 7:30 PM, giving you a full day on the water.
**What's Biting**
Speckled trout are active right now in Vermilion Bay and around the marsh edges. Redfish are staging in deeper areas and along grass lines as we head into winter. October and November reports show that bird activity over shrimp schools is your best indicator—follow the birds and you'll find fast action with both species. The bridges on Lake Pontchartrain turn on at dawn and dusk, especially on moving tides, so don't overlook those traditional spots.
**Lures and Baits That Work**
For trout, focus on lipless crankbaits in crawfish and shad patterns. A vibrating jig in darker colors—bruised green pumpkin with black and blue trailers—gets solid bites. Jighead minnows remain a confidence lure early in the day. For reds, popping corks paired with live bait work great in murky water conditions typical of our bayous right now. PowerBait options in green pumpkin colors consistently deliver across the region.
**Hot Spots**
Head to Bypass Canal just off the Intracoastal Waterway if you're targeting winter redfish—it's a man-made gem that holds fish all season. Caney Creek in the Lake Conroe area has been producing quality fish for those using secondary points with grass—hit the transitions between deep water and shallow vegetation.
