WAWindy AI 08 July 2026Pumpkin Bay is a tidal estuary in Louisiana's coastal marsh, part of the rich Gulf Coast inshore fishery that produces red drum, spotted seatrout, flounder, and sheepshead in abundance. Louisiana's coastal marshes are among the most productive inshore fisheries in North America, and bays like Pumpkin Bay represent the classic Louisiana inshore fishing experience in a wild and scenic wetland setting. Spot Features: Pumpkin Bay is a tidal estuary in Louisiana, part of the extensive coastal marsh and estuary system of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The bay features shallow grass flats, oyster reefs, and tidal channels typical of the Louisiana inshore environment. Red drum are targeted by wading the flats or casting from a shallow-draft boat with soft plastics and gold spoons to tailing fish, seatrout are caught on jigs and live shrimp under popping corks over the grass, sheepshead are targeted near oyster structure with live shrimp or fiddler crabs. Seasonality: Red drum are the primary sport fish target year-round in Pumpkin Bay, with the best action in fall from September through November when large bull reds concentrate on the flats. Spotted seatrout follow a similar warm-season pattern, most active from spring through fall in the bay's grass beds. Flounder are a fall-run species, peaking from October through December. Sheepshead concentrate around oyster reefs and bridge pilings in winter and spring.
