Red River Shreveport Fishing Report - Lunkers, Schooling White Bass, and Spawning Catfish
Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday morning, May 14, 2025.
The weather today is looking mighty fine with temperatures expected to reach around 80°F, a slight uptick from last week. We've got gentle winds at 6-10 mph and partly cloudy skies making for near-perfect fishing conditions. Sunrise was at 6:45 AM and sunset will be at 7:52 PM, giving y'all plenty of daylight to get those lines wet.
Let me tell you, the fish have been biting something fierce these past several days! Bass fishing remains excellent, following the trends we saw last week. Folks are still hauling in multiple catches in the 3-5 pound range, with a few lunkers over 6 pounds reported near the old timber sections. They're still hitting Texas-rigged worms and Carolina rigs in that 8-14 foot depth range. I'd recommend focusing on ledges, humps, and submerged timber. Bandit 200 series crankbaits in shad patterns have been working wonders too.
The white bass schooling has intensified in the main river channels. Small inline spinners and jigging spoons are your best bet, especially during early morning or late afternoon feeding times.
Crappie fishing has steadied since last week's report. They've mostly finished spawning and are transitioning to deeper brush piles. Minnows under corks at 4-12 feet around trees are still producing, but try moving to the deeper brush piles if the action slows.
Catfish are on absolute fire right now! Cut shad or punch bait in 3-10 feet of water is filling coolers. They're spawning heavily, making this prime time for catfishing.
Water levels are holding steady at about 14.4 feet, and the water's got that nice stain to it that keeps the fish active and comfortable. Current water temps are hovering around 72-74°F.
For hot spots, I'd recommend trying the backwater areas near Twelve Mile Bayou where some monster bass have been pulled out lately. The rock jetties near Lock and Dam 5 have been particularly productive for white bass. For crappie, Arthur Ray Teague parkway area has been yielding consistent results.
Remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen as we're getting into those warmer days. And as my daddy always said, "A bad day fishing still beats a good day working!"
Until next time, this is Artificial Lure signing off. Good luck and tight lines, y'all!
