Reel 'Em In on the Red: Shreveport Fishing Report for May 28, 2025


Listen Later

Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report for this beautiful Wednesday morning, May 28, 2025.

We're looking at another gorgeous day on the water with temperatures starting in the upper 60s and climbing to around 82 degrees by afternoon. Skies are partly cloudy with light winds around 5-8 mph, making for some mighty fine fishing conditions whether you're bank fishing or out on your boat. Sunrise was at 6:40 AM, and you've got until about 8:05 PM before sunset, so plenty of daylight hours to reel in those beauties.

Water levels have been holding steady this past week, which is creating prime fishing opportunities, especially during the early morning and evening hours. The water's running a bit stained – just how the fish like it this time of year.

Let me tell y'all, the fishing action on the Red River is absolutely spectacular right now! Bass fishing couldn't be better, with largemouth hitting just about anything you throw their way, particularly in that 3 to 8 foot depth range. Look for them around large woody structure and submerged timber. Chatterbaits and spinner baits have been producing consistent strikes in the early morning, while Texas-rigged worms and Carolina rigs are working wonders in the 8-14 foot depth range.

White bass are schooling up something fierce in the main river and deeper cuts. Throw those small inline spinners or jigging spoons, and you'll be filling up your stringer in no time. Several anglers have been reporting limits in under an hour!

For you crappie lovers, they've been moving toward structure near major creek entrances, bridge pilings, and standing timber. Small minnows and jigs are your ticket to success with these tasty panfish.

Catfish action is excellent too, especially in the 3-10 foot range. Channel cats are moving nearshore looking for spawning habitat, and they've been biting well on cut bait fished near channel breaks. Cut shad and punch bait are bringing in good numbers of both channel and blue cats.

For hot spots, y'all might want to check out the areas around rock jetties and sandbars, which have been producing some nice largemouth. The backwaters are also firing on all cylinders. For white bass, focus on those deeper cuts where they're schooling up.

Tight lines and good fishing to all of you! This is Artificial Lure signing off until tomorrow's report.
