show moreFirst off, the weather is looking pleasant with partly cloudy skies and temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s. Sunrise was at about 7:10 AM, and sunset is expected around 7:15 PM, giving you a full day on the water.
The Red River, being a freshwater river, does not have tidal activity, so you don't need to worry about that.
Yesterday, anglers reported a decent catch of bass, particularly largemouth bass, with some catches of catfish and crappie as well. The fish were active, especially in the late morning and early afternoon.
For lures, soft plastics like curly tail grubs and plastic worms in earth tones worked well. Jigs, especially those with a crawdad trailer, were also effective. Topwater baits like poppers and spoons saw some action, especially near structure and vegetation.
Live bait such as minnows, shad, and nightcrawlers were also successful, particularly for those targeting catfish and crappie.
Some hot spots to consider include the areas around the Red River South Marina and the stretch of river near the I-20 bridge. These areas tend to have good structure with submerged logs and drop-offs that attract bass and other species.
Remember to fish the edges of the river where the current meets the calm water, as these areas often hold a concentration of fish. Good luck out there
