Where does freshwater send redfish and trout
Posted on 6/25/26 at 4:17 pm

A lot of fishing spots these days are getting real low salinity readings. Like 2ppm or less due to the rains and wind patterns. Some say they move out the bays and into the gulf. Others say they just wait it out and lay low. Some say they go a good ways offshore. I suspect they go out of the bays ti the first good salt water they find but my fishing buddy says they just follow the shrimp. Anybody really know?

Redfish can live in fresh water, trout can not.

It's Louisiana. He's referring to Speckled Trout

Speckled trout (spotted seatrout) are popular coastal inshore gamefish native to the southeastern US. Found in estuaries, marshes, and shallow grassy flats, they prefer water temperatures from 59 °F to 86 °F and salinities between 5 and 35 parts per thousand

Is this a troll? I can’t tell around here anymore

Even after a 12" rain, the specs and reds are not affected in the majority of LA.

Current salinity of Lake Pontchartrain

I know freshwater pushes out shrimp. If I was a redfish or a trout, I'd follow the shrimp.

I am confused by Lake Bornge being less saline than Ponchartrain.

Just a guess, but I'd think Pearl River and Biloxi River dumping freshwater.
South winds keeping freshwater from Maurepas, Pass Manchac, and Tchefuncte River on the north side of the lake and running out through Chef Pass.
ETA: Wind map across the lake

Water temps. Most of the lake is staying 90 degrees all day long

The Pearl, Jourdan, Wolf, Biloxi, Tchoutacabouffe, Pascagoula all dumping tons of fresh water into the MS sound alone. It looks like shaken up chocolate milk right now and Lake Borgne is catching all that too. Will take quite a few heavy incoming tides and no rain to get back to any semblance of normal.
