Artificial Lure here with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report, bringing you the latest bites, conditions, and hot tips for Wednesday, September 10, 2025.

It was a warm and muggy start this morning with sunrise sliding in at 7:07 AM and sunset coming up at 7:36 PM. The day’s going to stretch just over 10 and a half hours, classic early September light. Weather-wise, we’re looking at high humidity holding steady, with light winds out of the south and clouds built up in the afternoon—classic late summer stuff for northwestern Louisiana. While Bob Rose at LCRA is reporting cooler temps and some scattered showers for the broader region due to lingering tropical moisture from the Gulf, most of that rain looks to skirt south of us, so expect an overcast, fishy day with just a slight chance of an afternoon sprinkle.

Solunar tables show peak feeding times at 6:13 to 8:13 this morning and again from 6:37 to 8:37 this evening, so if you can steal some early or late bank time, those are the magic hours. The moon's in a waning crescent, sitting at around 32%, so that low light should keep predator fish active and up in the water column.

Fish activity’s been solid this week. Local anglers on the Red, along with its oxbows and backwaters near Shreveport, are reporting steady action on largemouth bass, plenty of feisty spotted bass, and good numbers of channel catfish. There’s even been a few nice blue catfish caught just downstream from Stoner Avenue boat ramp. The old river bends are still producing, especially first light, with cooler overnight temps helping move shad up shallow and into ambush range.

Numbers wise: the average bass trip is seeing 4–8 keepers in the 1- to 3-pound range. Catfish hauls are better at night, but daytime tightliners are still pulling in half dozen solid eaters here and there. Folks drifting cut shad below the bridges have been rewarded with occasional 10-pound blues.

For the bass bite, your best lures right now are **chartreuse or blue-black spinnerbaits**, **Texas-rigged green pumpkin worms**, and **shad-patterned crankbaits** thrown up near submerged timber or along riprap. Early morning topwater action is still on—try a **bone or frog-colored popper** or buzzbait as the sun cracks the cypress line. Don’t overlook creature baits pitched into the laydowns and bank grass.

Catfishers are doing best with fresh-cut shad and nightcrawlers on drop lines. If you’re bank fishing, a simple slip sinker rig with chicken liver remains the go-to setup here; just stick to outside bends or deeper holes behind sandbars.

A couple of hot spots worth your time:
- **Stoner Avenue boat launch**: Both sides of the ramp see early morning bass busting shad, and catfish stack in the deeper current breaks just downstream.
- **Crescent Landing area**: This oxbow south of town is holding bass and bream, and boats have been pulling drum and cats from the channel edges.
- If you’re after panfish, try the coves near Ford Park—pop a red worm or cricket under a float and watch the bream pile up by submerged logs.
