Hopedale · Delacroix Fishing Weather & Tides

Fishing Hopedale · Delacroix

Hopedale and Delacroix are where the pavement quits and the marsh takes over, and the water beyond them — Lake Borgne, the bayous of the Biloxi Marsh, and the broken ponds and lagoons in between — is about as productive a redfish fishery as exists in this country. Reds crawl the shorelines and tail in shallow ponds, heavy trout hold the deeper cuts and shell bottom, and black drum and flounder fill in the rest of the calendar. The honest caveat is that this marsh is shrinking: Louisiana loses coastal land steadily, and the ponds out here are wider and shallower than they were a generation ago. Reading wind and water level matters more than any lure you tie on.

Local tip: With a small, typically diurnal tide, wind moves far more water than the moon does on most days out here. A hard norther behind a front can drop the ponds a foot or more and send you looking for deep bayou; a few days of south wind refills the marsh and puts reds back on the shorelines.
