  • Red River Fishing Forecast: Catfish Shifting, Steady Bites Await Anglers in Shreveport

    Red River Fishing Forecast: Catfish Shifting, Steady Bites Await Anglers in Shreveport
    Nov 23 2024
    For November 23rd, the fishing scene on the Red River in Shreveport is looking promising, despite some recent water level fluctuations.

    ### Weather and Water Conditions
    The weather is mild, with stable conditions that are ideal for fishing. However, the water levels have been rising, which has moved the catfish from the middle break lines to the shoreline or drop-offs[2].

    ### Tidal and Bite Times
    According to the solunar fishing times, today's major bite times are from 05:45 am to 07:45 am and 06:05 pm to 08:05 pm. Minor bite times are from 11:50 am to 01:50 pm and 10:58 pm to 12:58 am[3].

    ### Sunrise and Sunset
    Sunrise is at 06:53 am, and sunset is at 17:10 pm.

    ### Fish Activity
    The catfish have been active, particularly in the faster current areas of the mid-river holes. However, with the recent water rise, they have shifted to shorelines and drop-offs. The bite has been a bit of a grind, with fish holding in smaller holes, so patience is key. Sit times have been around 20-25 minutes to ensure a catch[2].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday saw a decent catch of catfish, with the bigger ones continuing to move in. The numbers are not as high as in previous weeks, but the quality of the catch remains good. Bass fishing has also been productive, especially in areas with stable water conditions[1][2].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For catfish, using 4oz to 5oz sinkers is recommended due to the current. Natural baits like nightcrawlers, chicken livers, and stink baits are working well. For bass, soft plastics and crankbaits are effective, especially in areas with some structure like points and drop-offs[1][2].

    ### Hot Spots
    Some hot spots to consider include the mid-river holes with faster current, and the shorelines or drop-offs where the catfish have moved. Benoit Bayou and Racetrack Bayou are also good spots for land-based fishing, offering shallow waters and clear conditions ideal for twilight fishing[3].

    Overall, it's a good day to be out on the Red River, with the right conditions and bait selection likely to yield some impressive catches.

  • Red River Fishing Forecast 11/22/2024: Mild Temps, Stable Conditions, and Promising Bites

    Red River Fishing Forecast 11/22/2024: Mild Temps, Stable Conditions, and Promising Bites
    Nov 22 2024
    For anglers heading to the Red River in Shreveport today, November 22, 2024, here’s what you can expect for a successful fishing trip.

    First off, there are no significant tides to worry about on the Red River, as it is a freshwater river. Sunrise today is at about 6:43 AM, and sunset will be around 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to fish.

    The weather is looking mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s Fahrenheit. Expect a light wind blowing at about 5 miles per hour, making it an ideal day for fishing. There is a slight chance of precipitation, but it should not significantly impact your plans.

    The water level on the Red River is currently stable, providing a favorable environment for fishing. The water temperature is in the mid-70s, which is perfect for a variety of fish species. Water clarity is good, allowing you to spot fish and navigate the river effectively.

    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, use crankbaits, jerk baits, and soft plastics like Ned rigs or Carolina rigs. Catfish can be caught using nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or stink baits. If you're targeting panfish, panfish jigs and small spinners will be effective.

    Some hot spots to focus on include Benoit Bayou, Racetrack Bayou, and the points around the Long-Allen Bridge. These spots are known for their irregularities in the water, such as sandbanks and holes, which attract a wide range of fish. Additionally, the Jefferson Shreveport Waterway Project and the areas around Wright Island are also productive spots.

    Bass are likely to be active during the major bite times, which today are from 6:01 to 8:01 AM and 6:21 to 8:21 PM. Catfish, on the other hand, can be found in deeper holes and are more active at night or during the minor bite times.

    With these conditions and tips in mind, you're set for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip on the Red River in Shreveport today. Tight lines

  • Discover the Thriving Fishery of Shreveport's Red River: Ideal Conditions for Bass and Catfish Anglers

    Discover the Thriving Fishery of Shreveport's Red River: Ideal Conditions for Bass and Catfish Anglers
    Nov 21 2024
    Today, November 21st, if you're planning to hit the Red River in Shreveport, here's what you can expect:

    ### Weather and Tidal Report
    The weather is looking mild, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to low 80s, making it ideal for both bass and catfish fishing. Sunrise is at 6:51 AM, and sunset will be at 5:11 PM. According to the fishing times, the major bite times are from 4:08 to 6:08 AM and 16:38 to 18:38 PM, with minor bite times from 11:18 to 13:18 PM and 21:59 to 23:59 PM[5].

    ### Fish Activity
    The Red River is known for its vibrant fishery, especially after the stabilization of water levels and the construction of locks and dams. Despite recent floods, the river still offers excellent fishing opportunities. Largemouth bass are particularly active during this time, with spring and fall being the best seasons, although they can be caught year-round[2][3].

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a good number of largemouth bass, with some weighing up to 5 pounds. Catfish, especially blue catfish, were also abundant, with reports of fish moving back to the shoreline or drop-offs due to the recent water level changes[4].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For largemouth bass, using live shad, minnows, or crayfish-imitating crankbaits can be very effective. Smallmouth bass are aggressive feeders and will bite on just about anything, including minnows and crayfish-imitating lures[3].

    For catfish, using heavy sinkers (4-5 oz) and baiting with nightcrawlers, chicken livers, or stink baits can yield good results. The catfish have been holding in smaller holes with faster current, so patience and the right bait are key[4].

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots to try your luck is around the backwaters and flooded areas, where the water clarity is about 1 foot, ideal for bass fishing. Another good spot is near the Texas-Oklahoma border, particularly around Lake Texoma, which is renowned for its striped bass and catfish[2][3].

    Additionally, areas like Benoit Bayou and Racetrack Bayou are good for land-based fishing, especially during twilight times when they coincide with major or minor fishing times[5].

    Overall, the Red River in Shreveport is a fisherman's paradise, offering a diverse range of fish species and exciting fishing experiences. Make sure to check the local fishing regulations and enjoy your time on the water.
