Red River Fishing Report - Largemouth, White Bass, and Catfish Abound Near Shreveport, Louisiana
Today, April 2, 2025, brings promising conditions for anglers heading out to the Red River around Shreveport, Louisiana. Let’s dive into what you can expect.
Sunrise today was at 6:56 AM, and sunset will occur at 7:30 PM, leaving plenty of daylight for fishing. The weather is favorable, with mild temperatures hovering around the mid-60s to low-70s, and light winds making for accessible casting. Water levels have settled after the spring rise, creating clearer and more manageable conditions for anglers targeting various species.
The Red River is bustling with activity this time of year. Largemouth bass are especially active, as they begin to stack near sandbars, rock jetties, and in areas with underwater structures. The abundance of shad along the runouts and ditches makes these spots prime for finding bass. White bass, another favorite, are schooling up and provide excellent action alongside the largemouths.
Recent catches include largemouth bass up to 3 pounds, white bass, channel catfish, and even some paddlefish sighted in nearby tributaries. For targeting largemouth bass, medium-depth crankbaits in shad or chartreuse colors are top producers. Anglers have also found success using Texas-rigged creature baits in black-blue flake, as well as June bug-colored worms. White bass seem to be favoring spoons and small swimbaits.
For catfish enthusiasts, cut shad and punch bait remain reliable choices. Blue and channel catfish have been found near creek mouths and in shallow flats, with some larger specimens reported in deeper currents.
When planning your trip, consider the following Red River hot spots:
1. **Montgomery Area**: Known for its excellent boat launch and proximity to productive sandbars and jetties.
2. **Red Bayou**: Offers diverse fishing terrain, ideal for both bass and catfish.
3. **St. Maurice**: A favorite among locals, particularly for its reliable bass activity near structures.
Whether you are a bass angler working crankbaits along the jetties or a catfish fan setting lines near creek mouths, today promises memorable moments on the water. Tight lines!
