Fishing the Red River in Shreveport - June 1st, 2025 Report


Listen Later

Morning folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you today's fishing report for the Red River around Shreveport for Sunday, June 1st, 2025.

We're looking at another beautiful day on the water with sunrise at 6:15 AM and sunset coming at 8:15 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to reel in some beauties. Weather-wise, we're expecting clear skies with temperatures climbing into the low 80s by midday, with a gentle breeze out of the southwest at 3-5 mph – perfect fishing conditions!

Water levels on the main river are holding steady around 14 feet, with clarity a bit stained but definitely fishable. Water temps have warmed up nicely into the low 70s, which has the post-spawn bite absolutely firing right now.

Bass fishing continues to be red hot on the Red River! Largemouths in the 3-to-8-pound range are being caught consistently, especially along main river ledges, sandbars, and around old timber. Texas-rigged worms in black/blue or watermelon seed colors are doing the trick, and Carolina rigs are equally effective. Don't leave home without some Bandit 200 series crankbaits in shad or chartreuse patterns – they've been absolutely crushing it lately. Soft jerkbaits like Shadicks are also producing when fish are tight to grass lines.

Catfishing has been just as impressive – blue cats and flatheads are actively feeding, with some real monsters being pulled in. Fresh cut shad or live bluegill are your best bets for the bigger ones.

For you crappie anglers, the bite has been decent around brush piles and deeper structure. Minnows and small jigs in white or chartreuse are your go-to baits.

Hot spots this week include the river lakes area and all five pools of the Red River. I'm particularly hearing great reports from Lock & Dam #5 and the backwaters around the Red River South Marina. Grand Bayou in Red River Parish is also producing some quality bass for those willing to work their electronics in the deeper water.

For those new to the area, public boat launches are available from Vivian to Bossier City, making it easy to access these prime fishing spots. Just remember to check water control reports before heading out, as releases at the locks can change conditions.

Thanks for tuning in to today's report. If you're heading out, remember your sunscreen and plenty of water – it's getting warm out there! Tight lines, y'all, and don't forget to subscribe for more reports. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
