  • Summary

  • If you're planning to hit the Red River in Shreveport today, November 17th, you're in for a treat. The weather is looking perfect, with mild temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to the low 80s, making it ideal for both bass and catfish fishing.

    Sunrise today is at 6:47 AM, and sunset will be at 5:13 PM. While the Red River doesn't have tidal fluctuations like coastal areas, the moon phases and times can still influence fish activity. Today, we're under a waning gibbous moon, with major bite times expected from 12:49 PM to 2:49 PM and minor bite times from 7:56 AM to 9:56 AM and 5:43 PM to 7:43 PM[5].

    Yesterday saw a good number of bass and catfish catches. Anglers reported landing several largemouth bass, with some weighing up to 5 pounds, and a few channel catfish in the 3- to 4-pound range. The best lures for bass have been soft plastics like curly tail grubs and crankbaits, especially those in shad or crawdad patterns. For catfish, nightcrawlers and chicken livers have been the go-to baits[1][4].

    If you're looking for some hot spots, consider the areas around the Red River's bends and drop-offs. The stretch near the Shreveport-Bossier City line is particularly productive, especially around the submerged logs and rock piles. Another good spot is near the mouth of Bayou Pierre, where the changing currents tend to attract a variety of fish species[5].

    Remember to check the local fishing regulations before you head out, as there may be specific rules and restrictions in place[3].

    With the favorable weather and prime bite times, today should be an excellent day to catch some fish on the Red River. Good luck out there
