  • Hooking Into Summer's Bounty on the Red River

    Hooking Into Summer's Bounty on the Red River
    2025/06/22
    Artificial Lure here with your June 22, 2025, Red River fishing report for Shreveport and the surrounding stretch. Sunrise hit at 6:15 a.m., with sunset set for 8:15 p.m., giving you a full day of prime summer angling. The weather’s just about perfect today—expect clear skies, gentle southwest breezes at 3-5 mph, and highs climbing into the low 80s. That comfortable barometer, along with steady river levels around 14 feet, has the post-spawn bite blazing all up and down our local pools. No tides to worry about on the Red, just the steady pulse of river life.

    Water clarity is a bit stained but remains plenty fishable. With water temps in the low 70s, you can expect fish to stay active—especially early and late when the bite is strongest. Main river ledges, backwater sandbars, oxbows, and any stretch with submerged timber or rocky points are all holding solid numbers of bass right now.

    Largemouth bass action is as good as it gets, with fish ranging from 3 to 8 pounds a regular sight, and even a few double-digit giants landed by folks working that main channel structure and the Highway 1 bridge stretch. The best producers? Texas-rigged worms in black/blue or watermelon seed, Carolina rigs, and don’t leave without Bandit 200 series crankbaits in shad or chartreuse. Chartreuse spinnerbaits and soft jerkbaits like Shadicks have been hot when fish are holding tight to grass and wood. Word from the locals is that dark jigs and shad-pattern crankbaits are also hammering bass, especially around the oxbows and the deeper pools.

    Catfish are starting their summer feed in the river bends and below Lock & Dam #5. Cut shad, nightcrawlers, and even chicken liver are putting plenty of channels and blues in the boat. Catfishing’s not as wild as May’s prespawn, but action is picking up with the warmer water.

    Crappie are holding near brush piles and deeper holes—best bets are small jigs or live minnows, especially in the cooler shade of the afternoon. Folks tossing curly-tail grubs near the Red River South Marina are still pulling a few slabs.

    If you’re new, two of today’s top hot spots: the oxbows near the Highway 1 bridge, and the Red River South Marina area—both are producing steady bites and offer easy access. The river lakes area is also a reliable spot, especially for those who want a chance at big bass without battling the main river current.

    Remember, Red River fishing is all about adapting to changing conditions, but with today’s setup, you won’t go wrong sticking to the basics and fishing structure.

  • Red River Shreveport Fishing Report: Post-Spawn Bass, Hungry Catfish, and Crappie Bonanza

    Red River Shreveport Fishing Report: Post-Spawn Bass, Hungry Catfish, and Crappie Bonanza
    2025/06/21
    Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report for Saturday, June 21, 2025.

    Sunrise kicked off at 6:15 AM and you’ll have daylight until around 8:15 PM. We’re seeing a picture-perfect North Louisiana summer day: temps climbing into the low 80s, blue skies with a gentle southwest breeze at 3-5 mph. No tidal action to worry about on the Red, but water levels are steady around 14 feet, and clarity is a bit stained — just enough to give bigger fish some confidence but still plenty fishable.

    Fish activity is lively thanks to warming water temps in the low 70s. The post-spawn largemouth bass bite is still on fire. Local anglers are hauling in 3-8 pounders with some double-digit bass landed this month, especially near main river ledges, sandbars, old timber, and the oxbows around the Highway 1 bridge. Chartreuse spinnerbaits and dark jigs have been getting hammered by hungry bass near submerged timber and rocky points. Don’t forget your Bandit 200 series crankbaits in shad or chartreuse — they’ve been crushing it, especially when bass are roaming those river grass lines. If you prefer plastics, Texas-rigged worms in black/blue or watermelon seed colors and Carolina rigs are both solid bets.

    Catfishing is on the upswing as we move through the end of prespawn. The bite’s decent throughout the pools, especially around the deeper holes and current seams. For catfish, fresh cut shad or nightcrawlers remain your best bet, and reports out of the river lakes area and just below Lock & Dam #5 are positive. Folks have picked up some channel cats along the flats as well as around the Red River South Marina.

    Crappie are still making a showing, especially around submerged brush and the mouths of creeks. Minnows and small jigs in white or chartreuse are your ticket if you’re looking to fill a cooler.

    For hotspots, try:
    - The oxbows near the Highway 1 bridge and up around the river lakes area for bass.
    - Red River South Marina and the stretch below Lock & Dam #5 for consistent catfish action.
    - Any of the old sandbar cuts and sunken timber stands along Pool 5 for mixed species.

    Don’t let the stained water fool you — the bite is hot and the fish are active. If you’re bringing kids or first-timers, stick with those crappie spots early, then hit the bass and catfish runs as the sun climbs.

  • Red River Fishing Report June 2025: Bass, Cats, and More on the Rise

    Red River Fishing Report June 2025: Bass, Cats, and More on the Rise
    2025/06/21
    Artificial Lure here, bringing you the latest Red River fishing report for Shreveport and the surrounding stretches on this fine June 21, 2025.

    Sunrise hit at 6:14 this morning, with sunset coming around 8:14 PM—plenty of daylight to chase that early bite and squeeze in a late-evening session. The weather’s shaping up classic North Louisiana: temps climbing to the upper 80s by this afternoon, high humidity, and a light breeze out of the southeast. Skies are mostly clear, though there’s been just enough cloud cover most mornings to get the fish excited before the sun gets high. Forecasts from the Almanac expect conditions to stay hot and mostly dry through the week.

    No tides to worry about here on the Red, but water levels are steady, running right around 14 feet. The main river has a bit of a stain, but it’s clean enough for solid presentations. Water temps are rolling in the low 70s, meaning the post-spawn bite is still going and fish are moving into their summer patterns, stacking up on main river ledges, sandbars, and in the shade of overhanging trees.

    Largemouth bass remain the main draw, with good numbers and some real quality fish—lots of 3 to 5 pounders and even an 8-pounder landed near the Highway 1 bridge earlier this week. Anglers are reporting the best luck throwing chartreuse or shad-pattern crankbaits along rocky points and around submerged timber. Texas-rigged worms in black and blue or watermelon seed are catching fish when worked slow along the current breaks and deeper holes. For those working the moving water, spinnerbaits in white or chartreuse are getting hammered, especially early and late in the day. Don’t overlook soft jerkbaits around grassy backwaters—these have been deadly on finicky midday bass.

    Catfishing is heating up, too. Guides out of Shreveport say the bite’s back on track, with lots of blues and channels being caught on fresh-cut shad and chicken liver, especially early evening. Most successful folks are setting up on sand flats and deep bends just off the main current.

    If you’re looking for hot spots, try the backwaters around the Highway 1 bridge for bass, and the main channel ledges near Stoner Avenue for a mix of species. The oxbows off the main river are also producing well—especially for bass and the occasional slab crappie.

    So, grab those crankbaits and plastics, pack your live bait if you’re after cats, and get after it. Thanks for tuning in! Don’t forget to subscribe for the latest, and as always, this has been a Quiet Please production. For more, check out quietplease.ai.

  • Red River Roundup - Hot Bite on Bass, Cats & Crappie

    Red River Roundup - Hot Bite on Bass, Cats & Crappie
    2025/06/20
    Morning y’all, Artificial Lure here with your on-the-water scoop for June 20, 2025, straight from the Red River around Shreveport.

    Sunrise hit at 6:15 a.m. and you’ve got till sunset at 8:15 p.m. to chase your limit under mostly clear skies. Expect low 80s by midday with a light southwest breeze—a classic North Louisiana summer morning. No tides to worry about on the Red, and river levels are steady around 14 feet. That famous Red River stain is just right for fishing—visibility isn’t perfect, but the bite’s been hot all week.

    Water temps are cruising into the low 70s and the post-spawn largemouth have been on a tear. Bass in the 3-to-8-pound range are common now, with some lucky anglers even landing double-digits. Best action’s coming from main channel ledges, sandbars, and anywhere you find timber or submerged brush. Texas rigs in black/blue or watermelon seed plastic worms are tough to beat, but Carolina rigs are pulling their weight too. Chartreuse spinnerbaits and dark-colored jigs have been crushing bass around the oxbows and up near the Highway 1 bridge. Bandit 200 crankbaits in shad or chartreuse patterns are a local top pick and soft jerkbaits like Shadicks are working where the grass gets thick.

    Don’t sleep on the catfish bite—channel cats are hungry, especially on cut bait or nightcrawlers fished deep near the outer bends and eddy pools. Crappie have slowed in the heat, but you’ll still pick a few up in the shade on jigs or live minnows.

    If you’re looking for hotspots, the river lakes area is firing on all cylinders for bass, with the pools near Lock & Dam #5 and Red River South Marina consistently producing fish. The cuts and backwaters off the main channel, especially around old timber, are holding solid numbers right now.

    For those bank fishing, try near public accesses from Vivian to Bossier City—the water’s right for tossing a crankbait or worm along the edges.

    To recap, bring shad and chartreuse crankbaits, black or purple plastics, and spinnerbaits. Early and late are best, but with today’s mild breeze, you’ll find steady action most of the day.

  • Ideal Early Summer Conditions on the Red River for Bass, Cats and Crappie

    Ideal Early Summer Conditions on the Red River for Bass, Cats and Crappie
    2025/06/18
    Artificial Lure here with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for today, June 18, 2025. Sunrise popped right at 6:15 AM, with sunset wrapping things up at 8:15 PM, so you’ve got over fourteen hours of daylight to get your lines wet. The weather is about as perfect as we can wish for in North Louisiana this time of year: clear skies, highs in the low 80s, and a gentle southwest breeze running 3–5 mph—prime for fishing the river or sneaking into a shady oxbow.

    No need to worry about tides on the Red River, but the river’s holding steady at around 14 feet, with a bit of the usual stain in the water. Visibility is good enough to work both the main channel and the backwaters, which often have different hues and clarity depending on recent rain and wind. Water temps are sitting comfortable in the low 70s, keeping the post-spawn action alive and well. According to local podcasts and fishing reports, the river’s at its classic early-summer best, with conditions ripe for a good haul.

    Bass fishing is the headline story right now. Largemouths in the 3-to-8-pound range are showing up all over the place, with a handful of double-digit fish pulled out around the Highway 1 bridge and near submerged timber, especially in the river’s backwater oxbows and along main river ledges. Anglers are reporting the hot baits as Texas-rigged worms and Carolina rigs in watermelon seed or black/blue. If crankbaits are your style, don’t leave home without a Bandit 200 in shad or chartreuse. Soft jerkbaits like Shadicks have been especially lethal around grass lines and shallow timber, while chartreuse spinnerbaits and dark jigs are getting hammered in rocky spots and near laydowns.

    Catfish and crappie are steady, too, with a few nice channels and slabs coming from deeper holes on nightcrawlers and minnows. If you’re looking to mix things up, classic jigs and live bait are still the way to go for those species, especially in the slower-moving sections and cuts off the main flow.

    For hot spots, the pools between Lock & Dam #5 and Red River South Marina continue to deliver, with the river lakes area and the oxbows off Bossier City holding some of the best action. The old timber and rocky points around the Highway 1 bridge are another solid bet if you want to chase after those heavy bass.

    That’s the scoop for today—from stained river water to oxbow honey holes, there’s no shortage of bites if you line things up right.

  • Red River Rundown: Shreveport Fishing Report for June 6, 2025

    Red River Rundown: Shreveport Fishing Report for June 6, 2025
    2025/06/06
    Good morning, folks—Artificial Lure here with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for June 6, 2025.

    We had a classic North Louisiana sunrise this morning at 6:39 a.m., with sunset coming up tonight at 8:12 p.m. Weather’s near perfect for hitting the water: expect highs in the upper 70s, light southeast breeze, and just enough cloud cover to keep the fish active. No tides to worry about here, but Red River’s levels are holding steady right around 14 feet—water’s got a bit of stain but still really fishable, perfect for working those backwaters and main channels.

    Fish activity is picking up with the warming water temps. Largemouth bass are still hot, especially in the 3-8 pound range, with a few double-digit fish landed this week. Reports from the oxbows and around the Highway 1 bridge say chartreuse spinnerbaits and dark jigs are getting hammered by bass near submerged timber and rocky points. Crankbaits in a shad pattern have also put a few solid fish in the boat. For best results, fish early and late when that bite is strong.

    The striper bite remains solid—anglers are picking up 10- to 20-pounders on live shad and big swimbaits, particularly near Lock and Dam 5 and deeper runs off the main river. If you’re fishing for bragging rights, that’s where you want to be; a few folks have reported even bigger fish closer to the Texas-Oklahoma border stretch of the Red, but plenty of action to be had right here in Shreveport.

    Catfishing is as good as ever. Best bets for big blues and channels are cut shad and live bluegill fished deep along channel edges. Nightcrawlers and stinkbait are bagging good numbers of eating-sized cats for folks fishing from the bank and boats alike. The deeper holes and current seams are your target spots—expect steady action most of the day.

    Crappie bite is fair but picking up—see the oxbow lakes and backwater sloughs, especially around submerged brush piles. Live minnows under a slip bobber have been the ticket, though some locals are getting them on small tube jigs with a slow retrieve.

    For those looking for hot spots: definitely try working around the Highway 1 bridge, Lock and Dam 5, and the oxbow lakes off the main channel. The backwater cuts and lateral ditches are holding good numbers of both bass and crappie. Always watch for submerged structure—Red River can be sneaky.

    Don’t forget, this weekend is Free Fishing Weekend, so it’s a great time to bring new anglers or kids out to enjoy this outstanding resource, courtesy of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
