2 NOV 2024 · For November 2, 2024, fishing on the Red River in Shreveport is looking promising, despite some recent fluctuations in water levels. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.
First off, there are no significant tides to worry about on the Red River, as it is a freshwater river. Sunrise today is at 7:26 AM, and sunset will be at 6:31 PM, with the moon at around 80% full.
Weather-wise, expect a mild day with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s, ideal for both bass and catfish fishing. The water levels, although they have been fluctuating, are starting to stabilize, which is good news for fish activity.
Yesterday saw a decent catch of fish, particularly largemouth bass and catfish. Anglers reported catching several largemouth bass in the 2- to 4-pound range, often found along the sandbars and rock jetties, especially where there is current. Channel catfish up to 10 pounds were also landed, particularly around submerged tree stumps and root balls.
For bass, concentrate your efforts on the backsides of sandbars and jetties, and areas close to runouts, bayous, and ditches. Crankbaits in shad, bream, or bright colors with chartreuse are highly effective. If the crankbait bite slows, switch to a june bug or similarly colored 6- or 7-inch plastic worm with a ¼-ounce slip sinker, fished slowly on the points of these areas.
For catfish, dead sucker remains a top choice for larger fish, while shrimp is still working well for smaller ones. Use a minimum of a 5oz sinker to keep your bait in place. Hot spots include areas around submerged tree stumps and root balls, as well as the middle sections of the river where fish are moving back after the spawn. The area near the Hwy 1 Bridge and the points around the Long-Allen Bridge are also worth checking out.
White bass are also abundant and can provide a bonus for bass fishermen, as they stack up similarly to largemouth bass and offer lots of action.
Remember to give each spot a good 30 minutes to allow the fish to find your bait. Patience is key, especially as the fish adjust to the stabilizing water levels. With these tips and conditions in mind, you're set for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip on the Red River in Shreveport today. Happy fishing
1 NOV 2024 · If you're planning to hit the Red River in Shreveport today, here’s what you need to know:
First off, the weather is expected to be warm, with daytime highs in the mid-70s to low 80s, and clear skies. Sunrise was at about 7:31 AM, and sunset will be around 6:26 PM.
For fishing times, we're currently in the New Moon phase, which can be very productive. The major bite times are from 10:37 to 12:37 and 23:05 to 01:05, with minor bites expected between 4:49 to 6:49 and 16:26 to 18:26.
Yesterday saw a decent amount of fish activity, particularly for largemouth bass and catfish. Anglers reported catching several largemouth bass in the 2- to 4-pound range, and catfish were also active, especially in the faster waters.
Given the current conditions, the best lures to use would be those that can handle the still and slightly murky waters. For bass, flipping and pitching tactics with soft plastics or jigs are recommended, as the bass tend to be suspended slightly away from the steep shoreline banks. For catfish, using nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or stink baits in the faster waters and deeper holes should yield good results.
As for hot spots, consider the areas around the locks and dams, particularly Pool 3 at Natchitoches and Pool 5 near Shreveport-Bossier. These pools have created lake-like conditions with minimal current, which is ideal for bass fishing. Additionally, the backwaters and flooded areas, such as Benoit Bayou and Racetrack Bayou, can be productive, especially if you're looking for catfish.
Navigation remains a key challenge on the Red River due to the historical flooding that has altered the landscape and habitat. Be cautious of the rock walls and wing dams, and make sure to keep an eye out for any changes in water clarity and current.
Overall, the Red River is still a bass heaven, despite the challenges, and with the right tactics and knowledge, you can have a successful day on the water.

Hot spots include areas around the submerged tree stumps and root balls, as well as the middle sections of the river where fish are starting to move back after the spawn. The area near the Hwy 1 Bridge is also worth checking out.

24 OCT 2024 · For October 24, 2024, fishing on the Red River in Shreveport is looking promising despite some challenges. Here’s what you need to know:
**Weather and Conditions:**
The forecast indicates partly cloudy skies with a high of around 78 degrees, a welcome break from the recent heat. However, the river is still recovering from historical flooding, which has relocated bass and altered habitats.
**Sunrise and Sunset:**
Sunrise is at 7:14 AM, and sunset is at 6:50 PM, giving you a good window to fish during the most active times.
**Tidal and Solunar Times:**
Today's major bite times are from 5:46 AM to 7:46 AM and 6:06 PM to 8:06 PM, with minor bite times from 11:47 AM to 1:47 PM and 10:25 PM to 12:25 AM. These times coincide with the nautical twilight, which begins at 6:21 AM and ends at 7:43 PM.
**Fish Activity:**
Bass activity has been slow due to the recent flooding and high water temperatures, but with the cooling temperatures, bass are starting to become more active. Shad are plentiful and active, stimulating bass to feed, although they might be avoiding lures in favor of natural food. Catfish are also active, particularly in the middle of the river where the current is faster.
**Catch Reports:**
Yesterday, anglers reported catching small numbers of bass, with most limits in the 8- to 10-pound range. The bigger bass are concentrated in specific areas, particularly in the backwaters where the water is clearer and there is more cover. Catfish catches have been consistent, with the bigger catfish moving in and bulking up.
**Best Lures and Bait:**
For bass, try using soft plastic rigs like drop shots or weedless crayfish, and hard-bodied retrieve lures such as crankbaits or jerk baits. Crayfish, bluegill, and perch patterns are effective. For catfish, use cut shad or nightcrawlers around the creek or river channel edges.
**Hot Spots:**
Focus on the backwaters, which are holding the biggest bass. Areas with clearer water and cover, such as submerged logs or vegetation, are key. The main river can also be productive, especially where there are subtle changes in the riverbed or near drop-offs. Benoit Bayou and Alligator Bayou are good spots to consider, as they offer the right mix of cover and current.
Overall, while the fishing is a bit challenging due to the recent flooding, the right approach and a bit of luck can yield some impressive catches on the Red River. Be adaptable, and don't hesitate to switch strategies as the day progresses.

The weather has been relatively stable, with water levels near perfect and water temperatures in the low 60s. This has been ideal for catfish, which have been active in the middle of the river in areas with faster current. Yesterday saw a good number of catfish caught, particularly in the mid-river holes where the current is stronger. The bigger catfish are moving in and bulking up as they prepare for the spawn, which is still a few weeks away.
For bass fishing, the conditions are also favorable. The recent weather has not significantly impacted the bass activity, and they can be found in various spots along the river. Bass have been caught using a variety of lures, including soft plastics and crankbaits. For catfish, nightcrawlers and chicken livers have been the go-to baits, especially when used with 4-5 oz sinkers to get to the bottom where the catfish are holding.
If you're looking for hot spots, consider the areas around Benoit Bayou and Racetrack Bayou, which are known for their productive fishing. The Jefferson Shreveport Waterway Project is also a good spot, especially around the harbour entrances where fish tend to move in and out with the tides.
