Red River Fishing Report - Lunkers, Stripers, and More for March 2025
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Red River fishing report for March 15, 2025. The river's looking mighty fine today, sitting at about 16.5 feet in Shreveport. We've had a stable water level the past few days, which is great news for us anglers. The weather's shaping up nicely too - partly cloudy with a high of 72°F and light winds out of the southeast. Sunrise was at 7:20 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:21 PM.
Fishing's been heating up lately, especially for largemouth bass. I've been hearing reports of some real lunkers being pulled out, including a few in the 6-8 pound range. Striped bass action has been solid too, with several 15+ pounders caught near the Texas-Oklahoma border.
For you catfish enthusiasts, both blue and channel cats have been biting well. Folks have had luck using cut shad and stinkbait near deeper holes and along the main channel edges.
As for lures, I've had great success with chartreuse spinnerbaits and dark-colored jigs in the backwater areas. Crankbaits in shad patterns have been producing near submerged timber and along rocky points. Live bait's always a good bet too - shiners and nightcrawlers have been doing the trick.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying around the Highway 1 bridge area or up near Lock and Dam 5. The oxbow lakes off the main channel have been producing well too, especially for crappie.
Remember, the river can be tricky to navigate, so keep an eye out for submerged structures and always wear your life jacket. That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and good fishing!
