Red River Fishing Report: Perfect Late-Spring Conditions for Shreveport Anglers
Morning y’all, this is Artificial Lure coming to you live with your complete Red River fishing report for the Shreveport area, Saturday, May 31, 2025.
We’re kicking things off with perfect late-spring conditions. Sunrise lit up the river at 6:08 AM and sunset’s not until 8:17 PM, giving you plenty of daylight for a full day of casting. Right now, the weather’s cooperating with highs right around 75 degrees, mostly clear skies, and light winds—ideal for both boat and bank fishing.
The Red River’s steady at about 14 feet with that classic stained look—just right to get those fish comfortable and feeding. Water temps are sitting pretty in the 60 to 65-degree range, and the bite’s been hot all week. According to the Red River Shreveport Daily Fishing Report, largemouth bass are still king, with steady action on fish in the three-to-eight-pound range. The backwater coves and sandbars are lighting up with bass, especially around current breaks and rock jetties. Folks are also hauling in nice stringers of crappie, which are stacking up near brush piles and submerged structure—great size and numbers being reported.
For baits and lures, it’s hard to beat a Bandit 200 crankbait in shad or chartreuse for those bass, especially along rocks and jetties. Texas-rigged creature baits in black-and-blue flake are getting solid strikes too, and if you’re targeting grass lines, try a soft jerkbait like a Shadick. Crappie anglers are still doing best with small tube jigs and live minnows, mostly early in the morning and again just before sunset.
Catfish are running steady on the channel edges and deeper holes. Can’t go wrong with classic Red River cat tactics: cut shad, nightcrawlers, and chicken liver. Local anglers have been reporting some hefty blues and channels pulled from the deeper troughs.
For the best chances today, hit the backwater sloughs near Hamel Memorial Park for great bass and crappie action, or try the rock jetties just south of the downtown boat launch, which have been hot spots all week. According to local crews and the Red River Shreveport Daily Fishing Report, those areas are seeing the most consistent catches right now.
If you’re planning your trip, the bite’s best right around sunrise and again as the sun sets. With steady river levels and good weather in store, you can expect fish to stay active throughout the weekend.
