The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:27 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

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

October brings cooler water and bait pushes across the New Orleans marsh. Look for bird activity over shrimp schools to find fast action with speckled trout and schoolie redfish. The bridges on Lake Pontchartrain turn on at dawn and dusk, especially on a moving tide, while the St. Bernard and Hopedale marshes give up slot reds along grass edges.

For trout, work the Pontchartrain trestles with 3/8-oz jigheads and soft plastics in natural hues; switch to a popping cork with live shrimp when the wind lays. In the skinny marsh, gold spoons and weedless paddle tails draw strikes from cruising redfish; target windward points where bait stacks. Don’t overlook channel edges for flounder on slow-rolled jig-and-minnow combos.

Post-front north winds often improve clarity; fish the leeward side after the blow. On stable, humid mornings, try topwater early, then drop to subsurface as the sun rises. A falling tide concentrates fish at drains, cuts, and bayou mouths.

Top tip: Keep moving until you find life—bait flicks, slicks, or birds—and once you get two bites, power-pole or spot-lock and work the area methodically from shallow to deep.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater New Orleans area

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 29 wharf(s) in this area.

Bienville Street Wharf - 1.68817911766km , Toulouse Street Wharf - 1.77855546772km , Powder Street Wharf - 2.30006446959km , Thalia Street Wharf - 2.34752519637km , Governor Nicholls Street Wharf - 2.39080196109km , Robin Street Wharf - 2.51487756841km , Esplanade Avenue Wharf - 2.59029108099km , Orange Street Wharf - 2.66823632106km , Market Street Wharf - 2.79197283065km , Mandeville Street Wharf - 2.88085466918km , Celeste Street Wharf - 2.92996427936km , Perry Street Wharf - 3.02025417491km , Saint Andrew Street Wharf - 3.07341687473km , First Street Wharf - 3.19969863479km , Press Street Wharf - 3.22302609156km , Third Street Wharf - 3.29607192675km , Washington Avenue Wharf - 3.33683311433km , Seventh Street Wharf - 3.46042505753km , Louisa Street Wharf - 3.56159732422km , Harmony Street Wharf - 3.60914283577km , Piety Street Wharf - 3.70329044359km , Congress Street Wharf - 3.93252245217km , Pauline Street Wharf - 4.18891782215km , Milan Street Wharf - 4.37597117163km , Poland Street Wharf - 4.64882194544km , Nashville Avenue Wharf - 5.84134461099km , Galvez Street Wharf - 5.89573773778km , Alabo Street Wharf - 5.98342181829km , Florida Avenue Wharf - 6.19868152487km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 4 beaches and bays in this area.

Bayou Saint John - 8.61542555034km , Whisky Bayou - 9.48569901416km , Bayou Fatma - 9.69705152446km , Bayou Barriere - 13.37216179213km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 2 main harbours in this area.

Turning Basin - 7.24891854804km, New Orleans Municipal Yacht Harbor - 9.23828960421km
