Bull Redfish Run Hits Its Peak on the LA Coast

What's biting

What's next

Both tracked tide stations show their next low arriving in the pre-dawn hours, near 6:43am and 5:26am local. Paired with the extra pull of the Full Moon, that falling water should draw bait out of the marsh and stack redfish tight to structure right as the low turns. With water still sitting in the mid-80s, the bull red push that Louisiana Sportsman is tracking should keep building over the next couple of weeks as it works toward its full September-October peak. Plan weekend trips around that early low and the two hours after it, when the outgoing current is doing the most work.

Check local forecast conditions before running out, since no wind or sky data is available for this window.

Context

Late September sits at the front edge of the Gulf Coast's fall transition: water is still summer-warm, but the redfish spawning run is right on its typical mid-August-to-mid-November schedule, with September marking the leading edge of the peak. That puts this week on schedule rather than early or late for the Louisiana Delta, and the bite should keep building as water temperatures gradually ease down through October.
