Red River Shreveport Fishing Report Today

Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report, coming to you like a buddy at the boat ramp, keeping it straight and local.

Around Shreveport this time of year, the Red is running cool and a little dingy most mornings, with light north to northwest breeze and seasonably mild temps by mid‑day. Expect a chilly first couple hours, then a comfortable warm‑up that gets the bait moving along the ledges and backwaters. Sunrise is right around the mid‑7 o’clock hour, with sunset a little after 5, so you’ve got a short but productive window of daylight to work with.

There’s no real tide on the Red, but water level swings from recent rain can fish just like a tide, pushing current around the wing dikes, revetments, and barge cuts. When the river’s bumped up a bit and moving, fish are tucking tight to the rocks and timber; when it steadies or falls, they slide off to the first break or edge. Treat each rise like a “flood tide” and each fall like an “ebb,” and you’ll know when to push shallow or back off.

Largemouth bass have been the main story, with decent numbers of keeper fish and a few solid three‑ to five‑pounders coming from barge tie‑offs, rock jetties, and current breaks at the mouths of little cuts and bayous. Folks have also been picking up white bass and a few stripers/hybrids in the bends where shad are stacking, plus the usual drum and the occasional blue cat on the bottom. Action is best early and late; midday is more of a grind unless the wind stacks bait on a particular stretch of riprap.

Best lures right now are shad‑pattern crankbaits and squarebills banging off rock, 3/8‑ to 1/2‑ounce chartreuse/white spinnerbaits slow‑rolled through current seams, and medium‑size lipless cranks yo‑yoed along the drops. When the bite gets tough, a green pumpkin or black‑blue jig with a chunk trailer, or a Texas‑rigged creature bait, pitched into laydowns and barge pilings will still get those quality bites. For live bait, minnows and shiners drifted just off bottom will fool whites and the odd striper, while cut shad on a Carolina rig will put cats in the boat.

Couple of local hot spots to circle: the stretch around Cross Bayou and the downtown revetments has been giving up a good mixed bag when there’s decent current, especially where concrete meets rock and there’s any eddy. Downriver, the pockets and islands around Shreve Island and Harts Island have been steady producers for bass, with fish sitting on the upstream points of islands and the downstream sides of wing dikes. Work those areas methodically and you can put together a strong limit without running all over the river.

That’s the Red River rundown from your pal Artificial Lure. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe so you never miss a trip report. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

# Red River Shreveport Fishing Report - December 4th, 2025

Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your daily fishing report for the Red River and surrounding waters around Shreveport.

**Today's Conditions**

We're looking at a First Quarter Moon this morning with visibility sitting at about 40 percent. Sunrise comes in at 7:33 AM and we'll see sunset around 6:23 PM, giving us a solid 10 hours and 50 minutes of daylight to work with.

**Best Bite Times**

According to the solunar forecast, your major bite windows today are 12:05 PM to 2:05 PM. You've also got minor times from 7:11 AM to 8:11 AM and again from 5:50 PM to 6:50 PM. This is rated as a Best day for fishing, so you'll want to get out there.

**Fish Activity & Recent Reports**

December brings cooling water temperatures around these parts, which really turns on the largemouth bass bite. We're seeing active fish throughout the Red River and the surrounding bayous. The Major League Fishing organization just wrapped up their Summit Cup Team Series on our local lakes last month, and those pros were having success targeting shallow cover with flipping and pitching techniques in the 3 to 4-foot range. Black and blue tubes with 3/8-ounce weights are producing well, along with crankbaits on windblown banks.

**Lures & Bait**

For lures, you'll want black and blue D-Bombs, green pumpkin tubes with purple metal flake, and Zoom Z-Craw Jr. plastics. Crankbaits work great on those windblown banks too. If you're going the live bait route, shad and shrimp are your go-to offerings.

**Hot Spots**

I'd recommend hitting Cross Bayou or Twelvemile Bayou—they're close in and holding plenty of bass right now. Wright Island and Anderson Island are also solid choices if you want to branch out a bit further.

Get out there during those major bite times, especially around that midday window. The conditions are dialed in for success today.

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with today's fishing report from Shreveport. It's Wednesday, December 3rd, and we're looking at some solid conditions on the Red River and surrounding waters.

**Current Conditions**

Sun came up this morning around 6:59 AM and we're looking at a sunset around 5:09 PM, so you've got a decent window to get out there. We're sitting with a first quarter moon phase, which typically means decent activity. Visibility is holding at about 40 percent, which is workable for most techniques.

**The Bite**

December is prime time for Shreveport's waters. The cooling water temperatures have got the fish fired up and feeding actively. We're in that sweet spot where bass and other species are staging for winter. If you were watching the pro circuits, you saw David Dudley absolutely tear it up recently with massive bag limits—that's the caliber of fishing happening in our region right now.

**Timing Your Day**

Your major bite windows today are firing from 5:31 to 7:31 AM and again from 5:50 to 7:50 PM. Minor times are running 12:48 PM to 2:48 PM and 10:52 PM to 12:52 AM. Plan accordingly and hit those windows hard.

**What to Throw**

December through March is THE time to target giant bass in this region. Bring your drop shot rigs—they're absolutely money right now. Triple drop shot setups are producing quality fish. Work your deeper structure and don't be afraid to go smaller with your baits and lures. Soft plastics are producing, and live bait is always solid in December.

**Hot Spots**

Get yourself to Cross Bayou—it's right on us at less than a half mile out. Also, don't sleep on the Cross Lake Dam and Spillway about four and a half miles out. Those areas are holding active fish right now.

# Red River, Shreveport Fishing Report – Tuesday, December 2nd, 2025

Well hey there, folks, Artificial Lure here bringing you this morning's fishing report for the Red River right here in Shreveport.

Let me tell you, we're in a great window right now. The sun's coming up at 7:33 this morning and we're looking at a sunset around 6:23 tonight, giving us a solid ten hours and fifty minutes of daylight to work with. Today's a Best day rating for fishing according to the lunar forecast, and we've got our major bite times locked in from 12:05 to 2:05 this afternoon, with minor activity from 7:11 to 8:11 in the morning and again from 5:50 to 6:50 this evening.

Now here's what's been happening on the water. The late fall bite continues to be solid, especially around our traditional spots. Stoner Boat Launch and Bishop Point Oxbows have been producing consistent hauls for anglers willing to put in the work. The water's cooling down nicely, and the baitfish are still active, which means the bass are following right along behind them.

For your approach today, you've gotta match the hatch. We're seeing good numbers on Shallow Shad Raps and soft plastic jerkbaits that mimic the shad patterns these bass are keying on. Work the shallow creeks and pockets where the current breaks things up – that's where the baitfish funnel through and the bass are staging. If you're working the marsh edges on the falling tide, throw some gold spoons or live shrimp near the points for aggressive strikes.

Get yourself out there early during those morning minor times, then really dial in during that major window this afternoon. The fishing's been rewarding for those paying attention to these conditions.

**ARTIFICIAL LURE'S RED RIVER FISHING REPORT - MONDAY, DECEMBER 1ST, 2025**

Well hey there, folks, Artificial Lure here bringing you this morning's conditions on the Red River up here in Shreveport. It's early December, which means we're heading into prime season for targeting those lunker bass. December through March is absolutely the best time to hunt giant bass, and we're right at the start of it.

Weather-wise this morning, we've got decent conditions to work with. Sunrise is happening around 7:15 AM, so if you're out on the water right now, you've got your golden window. Sunset tonight comes around 5:15 PM, so you've got a solid day to get after them.

**WATER CONDITIONS & FISH ACTIVITY**

The Red River around Shreveport is holding some solid structure this time of year. We're seeing good numbers of largemouth and smallmouth bass moving into deeper holes as the water cools down. The shallower flats are still productive during those warming daylight hours, but don't sleep on the deeper channels—that's where the big girls are hanging out.

**WHAT'S WORKING**

For lures, you can't go wrong with shallow-running crankbaits and jerkbaits in the 3 to 5-foot range during midday. Early morning and late afternoon, throw some topwater if you want some explosive action. Soft plastics—specifically 5-inch worms and crawfish patterns in natural colors—are producing steadily along the structure.

If you're bait fishing, live shad is your go-to. The bass are aggressive right now, and they'll crush a 4 to 6-inch shad worked along any current break you find.

**LOCAL HOTSPOTS**

Head down to the **Cane Island area**—that's been consistent all season. The channels there have excellent depth transitions. Also, don't overlook the **Captain Cane area** if you can get access. Those shallow bayou pockets hold quality fish, especially mid-morning.

Get out there and tight lines, folks! Thanks for tuning in to the report. Make sure you subscribe for more daily updates on your local fisheries.

Well, hey there folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Sunday morning fishing report for the Red River around Shreveport, and let me tell you, conditions are shaping up to be interesting today.

We're looking at some cold weather moving in. Early this morning, we're dealing with wind chills in the upper teens along the Red River, so bundle up before you head out. Sunrise was around 6:45 this morning, and you'll want to wrap things up before sunset at 5:14 PM, so we've got a solid window to work with.

From a fishing perspective, today's rated as a decent day overall. Your major bite times are going to be from 5:31 AM to 7:31 AM this morning—that's your prime window right now if you're reading this early—and then again from 5:50 PM to 7:50 PM this evening. We've got a first quarter moon, which usually means decent activity.

Now, for what's been working around here lately, we've had some solid hauls coming from Stoner Boat Launch and Bishop Point Oxbows during this late fall period. The water conditions have been pretty lively, so don't sleep on those spots.

For tackle, you'll want to bring artificial lures if you're looking to work the flats and channels. But if you're planning to throw bait, live baitfish is always going to get you attention this time of year. The water's getting colder, so the fish are still feeding aggressively before winter really sets in.

I'd recommend hitting either Stoner Boat Launch or working the oxbows near Bishop Point. These areas have been producing solid numbers recently.

Well, hey there folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Saturday morning fishing report for the Red River around Shreveport. Let me tell you, we've got a beautiful day shaping up for getting out on the water.

First things first—sunrise this morning hit right around 7:04 AM, and we're looking at sunset coming in at 4:50 PM, so you've got a solid window of about nine hours and forty-five minutes to work with. That's prime time for the Red River system.

Now, the Red River flowing through downtown Shreveport has been treating anglers real well lately. We're heading into that transitional period where winter's starting to take hold, and the fish are adjusting their patterns. Bass fishing has been solid around wood cover—look for those submerged logs and fallen timber. December's typically when things shift, but right now we're in that sweet spot where the fish are still active.

For speckled trout, kayak fishing has been outstanding across the Louisiana coast this month, and the Red River system sees good populations too. The Chalmette area waters remain hot, but closer to home, the Red River and Cross Lake nearby offer excellent opportunities without the crowds.

Best baits right now are live shrimp and mullet if you can get them. For artificials, stick with crankbaits in natural colors, soft plastics around that wood cover, and don't sleep on topwater early and late in the day.

Hot spots I'd recommend: the restored warehouse district downtown where the current picks up, and Cross Lake just outside town—perfect for speckled trout and a real gem that locals frequent without all the tourist pressure.

Get out there and tight lines, folks. Thanks for tuning in and don't forget to subscribe. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

# Red River Fishing Report - Friday, November 28, 2025

Well folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning fishing report for the Red River area around Shreveport, and let me tell you, we've got some prime conditions shaping up today.

The sun's climbing up at around 6:30 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 5:15 tonight, so you've got a solid eight-plus hours of good fishing light. The moon's in its first quarter phase, sitting at about 40% visibility, which should keep things interesting for both early morning and evening sessions.

Speaking of timing, we've got major bite windows firing from 5:31 to 7:31 this morning—that's your prime time right there—and another major bite from 5:50 to 7:50 in the evening. The minor bites are hitting midday around 12:48 to 2:48 and again late night around 10:52. Don't sleep on those minor windows; they can still produce quality fish.

Now, this area around Shreveport is absolutely stacked with quality largemouth bass and heavyweight blue catfish. We've also got excellent slab crappie and seasonal action on white bass and stripers mixed in. The Major League Fishing guys have been pulling solid weights off Cypress Bayou recently, so the forage is definitely moving and feeding.

For your tactics today, work your standard topwater and crawdad-pattern crankbaits in the early morning. Those bass are aggressive right now. For catfish, live bluegill and shad are your bread and butter—drift them along the deeper holes. Crappie anglers should be tossing small jigs and minnows around structure.

If you want to get out there today, I'd point you toward Cross Bayou—it's right in your backyard just outside Shreveport—or head out to the Cross Lake Dam and Spillway area about 4.6 miles out. Both spots are absolutely productive for everything swimming around here.

# Red River Fishing Report – Thursday, November 27, 2025

Well hey there, folks. Artificial Lure back with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for this Thursday morning. Sun came up at 6:41 AM and you've got till about 5:12 PM to get out on the water, so you've still got plenty of daylight to work with.

We're right in that sweet spot now, y'all. Late November means we're transitioning into what I call the fall feed phase. Water temperatures are dropping, the air's getting that real bite to it, and the bass are stacking up in the shallows to feed before winter sets in. This is when fishing can absolutely light up if you know what you're doing.

Here's what's been working recently around here – folks have been hauling in some solid catches on the Red River using shallow-running presentations. You want to match the hatch, plain and simple. If you're seeing shad movement in the shallows, throw something that mimics those baitfish. A Shallow Shad Rap in natural colors has been money. Soft plastic jerkbaits are putting fish in the boat too. Don't overlook the A-Rig either – it's a confidence builder when the bite gets tough.

For hot spots, get yourself up into those creeks and pockets. Look for places where something sticks out – a hard point, a big rock, some stumps, or laydowns that break up the contour line. Bass are traveling predictable routes right now, and they'll stop at these transition areas. The area around Cypress Bayou has been producing, and there's always good activity where you've got shallow shoals and humps.

Baitfish are the key right now. Follow where the shad are going and the bass won't be far behind. You can honestly catch them on most anything in your boat as long as it matches what they're feeding on.

Thanks so much for tuning in to today's report, folks. Make sure you hit that subscribe button and keep it locked here for your next fishing update.

Artificial Lure here with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for Wednesday, November 26, 2025.

Sun rose at 6:41 AM and won’t set till 5:12 PM, giving us a good, long day to wet a line. The moon’s in a waxing gibbous phase, climbing toward full, which usually means the fish are just a bit hungrier. Tides aren’t a big factor way up here on the Red, but moving water from north winds after a recent cold front has got the current rolling and the bite turned up, especially at dawn and dusk—classic late November conditions, according to folks at Louisiana Sportsman and FishingReminder.

Weather this morning started cool, hovering in the mid-40s, with highs climbing into the low 60s by late afternoon. Northerly winds have cleared up the mud, so be ready with lighter leaders for that clear water. Bundle up, especially if you’re launching before sunrise—fog’s been patchy, but should burn off by nine.

Lately, there’s been excellent action on largemouth bass in deeper bends and around all that good Red River wood cover. I got word from some local regulars and the latest Louisiana Sportsman report that the hot pattern continues with bass chasing shad along channel edges and backside pockets. Crankbaits with shad or firetiger patterns have been putting numbers in the boat. When that cool front swept in, the bite shifted to soft plastics—Carolina rigs and finesse worms in green pumpkin are getting it done, especially after the sun pops out.

Blue catfish are biting deep on cut shad or chicken livers near river bends and along rip-rap. Several locals pulled in limits last weekend—biggest was a 31-pound blue near Stoner Boat Launch, but most are in that 3-8 pound eating range. Set lines just off the main channel for best results.

Crappie fishing is steady—try slip corks with live minnows near submerged brush at Port O’Shreve and the Lock and Dam 5 area. Morning is prime for papermouths, and the bite drops off after 10 AM. Folks are reporting 10-15 fish per boat on good days, with a few slabs pushing 2 pounds.

If you’re hunting for a mixed bag, bream are still active in the shallows—red wigglers under a float will fill your bucket near the old railroad trestle.

Best lures this week:

- For bass: **medium-diving crankbaits** (chrome/blue or firetiger), **green pumpkin finesse worms** on a Texas rig, and downsized spinnerbaits for the wind.

- For catfish: **fresh-cut shad** is king, with chicken liver a close second.

- Crappie: **live minnows** in 8-12 feet, matched with small jigs (chartreuse/white).

- Bream: **red wigglers or crickets** on light tackle.

Top current hot spots:

- **Stoner Boat Launch** and the adjacent wood piles—bass and cats both holding steady.

- **Port O’Shreve brush piles**—crappie and some bonus spotted bass.

- The inlet at **North Highland Park**—look for bream, plus a few slab crappie.

Most folks are getting their best bites in the major feeding window from roughly 7:30 to 9:30 AM, right on cue with the solunar tables. Evening
