  • Summary

  • If you're planning to hit the Red River in Shreveport today, November 16, 2024, here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water. First off, since the Red River is a freshwater river, you don't have to worry about tides.

    Weather-wise, expect a mild day with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s Fahrenheit. There's a light wind blowing at about 5 miles per hour, making it ideal for fishing. There's a slight chance of precipitation, but it shouldn't significantly impact your plans.

    Sunrise today is around 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish. The water level on the Red River has stabilized, providing a favorable environment for fishing. The water temperature is in the mid-70s, which is perfect for a variety of fish species, and the water clarity is good.

    Yesterday saw good activity, particularly for 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. For bass, using a 200 series Bandit or KVD Series 4 crankbait in shad, bream, or bright chartreuse colors is highly effective. When the crankbait bite slows, switching to a june bug or similarly colored 6- or 7-inch V&M worm with a ¼-ounce slip sinker can be productive.

    For catfish, they are currently in the middle of the river in areas with faster current. Using 4- to 5-ounce sinkers and baiting with typical catfish lures or bait like nightcrawlers or stink baits can yield good results.

    Some hot spots to consider include the sandbars and rock jetties, especially those close to runouts, bayous, and ditches. The Montgomery Area, Red Bayou, and St. Maurice are also popular and have great launching facilities.

    Overall, the conditions are prime for both bass and catfish fishing, so make sure to take advantage of this great fishing opportunity on the Red River in Shreveport.
