Red River Shreveport Fishing Report: Elevated Levels, Fantastic Fishing
Howdy, fishin' folks! Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report for this fine Friday, May 30th, 2025.
Weather's lookin' mighty fine today with temps in the mid-70s. Sun rose at about 6:15 AM and will set around 8:20 PM, giving y'all plenty of daylight hours on the water. The Red River ain't tidal, so no need to worry about that, but I do need to mention something important - water levels are the big story today.
The river's been risin' steadily since early May when we were just under "Action" flood stage. With all that upstream rainfall we've had plus the water coming down from the Texas-Oklahoma border, we're seein' elevated levels. Check the latest water control report before heading out as conditions can change quickly.
Despite the high water, the fishin's been downright fantastic! Bass fishing remains hot with largemouths in the 3-to-8-pound range being caught consistently. The catfishing has been just as impressive - they've been running in the channels since early May when water temps hit those high 50s, and now they're in full pre-spawn mode.
For you bass anglers, crankbaits in shad and chartreuse patterns are still producing, especially with this stained water we've got. Plastic worms in purple or black have been money too. If you're after those catfish, fresh cut bait has been the ticket.
Hot spots? Y'all should definitely check out the river lakes area and the pools around Lock & Dam #5. The Red River South Marina's been producing some nice catches too. With the higher water, look for fish pushed up into flooded timber and along the newly submerged shorelines.
For my crappie hunters, they've been biting well on minnows and jigs. The cooler spots in the backwaters have been holding good numbers. Try fishing straight up and down in pole timber or brushpiles - that's been working great all season.
Public boat launches from Vivian to Bossier City give you plenty of access points, but do be careful with the higher water - watch for debris and stronger currents.
All in all, it's a great time to be fishing the Red River if you're mindful of the water levels. The bass are bitin', the cats are hungry, and there's plenty of action to go around.
