 Howdy, folks! Artificial Lure here with your Red River Shreveport fishing report for this beautiful Friday morning, May 23, 2025.

The weather today is looking mighty fine with temps expected to reach about 80°F under partly cloudy skies. We've got gentle winds at 6-10 mph, making for some real nice fishing conditions. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be around 8:03 PM, giving y'all plenty of daylight to land those lunkers.

Let me tell you, the bite has been absolutely phenomenal this past week! Bass fishing continues to be excellent with multiple catches in the 3-5 pound range being reported daily. They're hitting Texas-rigged worms and Carolina rigs in that 8-14 foot depth range, especially around ledges and submerged timber. If you're looking to hook into some big ones, focus on those depth changes and structure.

White bass are schooling up nicely in the main river and deeper cuts. Folks have been having great success with small inline spinners and jigging spoons. For these fighters, try early morning or late afternoon when they're most active.

Crappie fishing remains steady as they transition between shallow and deep water. Minnows under corks at 4-12 feet around trees have been the ticket, with many starting to move toward deeper brush piles as the water warms.

Catfish action has been heating up too, with some nice channels and blues being caught on cut bait and prepared stink baits along the deeper river channels.

For you trout enthusiasts, the Red River Hatchery Pond was stocked on May 12 with 400 catchable-size rainbow trout, but remember that's only open to youngsters 11 and under or seniors 65 and older.

Current water flow is running around 110 cubic-feet-per-second, which is slightly higher than last week but still good for fishing. Water clarity is decent in most areas, with slight staining in the main channel.

For hot spots, I'd recommend trying the area around the Highway 71 bridge where there's been consistent action on bass and cats. Another good bet is the backwater area near Willis-Knighton where crappie have been stacking up around the submerged brush.

For bait, live minnows are working wonders for crappie, while nightcrawlers and cut shad are your best bet for catfish. Bass are hitting plastic worms in watermelon red and junebug colors, along with chartreuse and white spinnerbaits.

The locals have been saying that fishing early morning or late evening has been most productive, so plan accordingly.

That's all for today, folks. Get out there and wet a line - the fish are biting! This is Artificial Lure signing off and wishing y'all tight lines and full stringers!
