    Best lures right now? Toss chartreuse spinnerbaits or jigheads with swimbaits for bass—mimic those shad perfect. Crankbaits in craw patterns for the spots. For cats, stinkbait or cut shad on a Carolina rig can't miss; live minnows or worms if you're bank fishin'. Keep it simple, let 'em come to ya.

    Hot spots? Hit the Red River bend near Cross Lake spillway for bass hangin' post-spawn, or drop lines off the old Shreveport Yacht Club docks where cats prowl the pilings. Launch early, watch for rain risin' the murk.

It's February 25th, 2026, and we're lookin' at a prime winter day on the water—sunrise 'round 6:39 AM and sunset at 6:00 PM, per solunar charts for nearby Wisner.

    No real tides up here on the river, but solunar forecasts show major fishin' peaks from about 3-5 AM and 4-6 PM today—hit those windows for best action. Fish are active in the warming shallows; recent reports from the Red River National Wildlife Refuge trails note good numbers of wood ducks and waterfowl, with bass and crappie bitin' steady.

  • Cold Front Bass Bite: Red River Feeding Times and Best Spots Near Shreveport

    Cold Front Bass Bite: Red River Feeding Times and Best Spots Near Shreveport
    Feb 23 2026
    # Shreveport Fishing Report - Red River

    Morning, folks. This is Artificial Lure bringing you today's fishing conditions around Shreveport and the Red River.

    We've got ourselves a cold front moving through this morning. The National Weather Service is tracking northwest winds at 20 to 30 miles per hour with a wind advisory in effect until 9 AM, so conditions are choppy right now. Temperatures are dropping into the 30s inland, which typically triggers good feeding activity before the cold really settles in. Sunrise was around 7:03 AM this morning with sunset coming at 5:39 PM, giving us a solid 10-and-a-half hours of daylight to work with.

    For fish activity in Central Louisiana waters, the solunar forecast shows major feeding times from 6:11 to 8:11 AM and again from 6:35 to 8:35 PM, with minor activity from 1:27 to 2:27 AM and 11:49 AM to 12:49 PM. The moon's currently in a waning gibbous phase at about 69 percent, which continues to influence fish behavior.

    Now, speaking from local knowledge, largemouth bass are your main target right now. Just last month, Cade Kelly of Quitman landed a solid 10-pound largemouth on Grand Bayou Reservoir over in Coushatta—that tells you these waters are holding quality fish. For bait, live crawfish and shiners are working great. If you're throwing artificials, stick with crankbaits in dark colors and slow-moving swimbaits to match the overcast conditions.

    Two spots I'd hit today: first, check out the deeper holes and structures along the main Red River channel near Shreveport—the current break helps concentrate fish during cold snaps. Second, work the backwater areas where creeks feed into the main river; bass love staging there before pushing shallow.

    Thanks for tuning in to the report, and don't forget to subscribe for daily updates.

  • Red River Winter Bass Bite Heats Up Near Shreveport This Sunday

    Red River Winter Bass Bite Heats Up Near Shreveport This Sunday
    Feb 22 2026
    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' at ya with your Red River fishin' report for Sunday, February 22nd, right here around Shreveport. Sunrise hit at 6:57 AM, sunset's callin' it at 6:12 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line. Weather's coolin' off to the mid-50s daytime with light winds from the northwest, but watch for scattered showers movin' in from the Gulf, keepin' things a bit muddy. No real tides on this river stretch, but water levels are steady after recent rains, flowin' moderate at about 15,000 cfs near Shreveport—perfect for bass chasin' current breaks.

    Fish activity's pickin' up in this winter bite! Local reports got largemouths fired up, like that 10-pounder Cade Kelly boated on nearby Grand Bayou Reservoir back in January—folks sayin' similar slabs are schoolin' deep on the Red. Blues and channels are active too, with cats stackin' up in the bends; limits comin' easy on cut shad. White bass runs are startin' early, and stripers are showin' in pockets. Caught tallies from last week: dozens of 2-5 lb largemouths, handfuls of 20-40 lb blues, and solid strings of whites.

    Best lures right now? Go with **jigs** tipped with craws or minnows for bass huggin' the bottom—1/4 to 1/2 oz football heads in green pumpkin. **Spinnerbaits** (white or chartreuse) for reaction strikes in the grass lines, and **soft plastics** like swimbaits or worms on shaky heads for those prespawn hogs. Live bait kings are **shad** or **menhaden** on circle hooks for cats—drift 'em bottom rigs in 10-20 feet. Chicken liver works if shad's scarce.

    Hot spots: Hit the **Cross Lake spillway** for bass and whites—structure galore. Or try the **Red River bends below I-20 bridge**, where current funnels baitfish and cats prowl.

    Bundle up, check regs, and stay safe out there.

  • Red River Crappie Spawn: Low 70s and Jigs Fixin' to Fill Your Ice Chest

    Red River Crappie Spawn: Low 70s and Jigs Fixin' to Fill Your Ice Chest
    Feb 21 2026
    Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha live from the banks of the Red River here in Shreveport on this fine February 21st mornin', 8:29 AM sharp. Winter's loosenin' its grip with temps climbin' into the low 70s today—perfect fishin' weather after them chilly nights, accordin' to the National Weather Service out of Lake Charles reportin' partly sunny skies and highs around 74°F nearby. Sunrise was at 6:58 AM, sunset 'round 6:02 PM, givin' ya a solid 11 hours of daylight to wet a line. No tides on this river stretch, but water levels are steady, risin' a touch with south winds pushin' in.

    Fish activity's pickin' up big time—warmer days got the bite turned on, though nights coolin' the shallows slow it some. Crappie, or sac-a-lait as we call 'em local, are spawnin' hard; reports from nearby marshes like John K. Flores in The Review say ice chests fulla egg-laden females in 3-14 inches of water at 65-70°F. Bass are active too, chasin' in the river bends, with recent catches includin' limits of 2-4 pounders and stripers showin' up mid-river. Catfish—blues and channels—are haulin' in steady, 10-30 pounders on the bottom.

    Best lures right now? 1/16-ounce jigs in black/chartreuse, pink/chartreuse, or blue/chartreuse—Flores notes guides like Bill Lake swear by 'em near canal banks. For bass, go Rat-L-Traps or spinnerbaits in the current. Live bait kings it: shiners for crappie, worms or cut shad for cats and bass. Trotlines and jugs are limitin' out.

    Hit these hot spots: Cross Lake spillway for crappie clusters under the bridges, and the Red River bends by the Louisiana Boardwalk—structure's holdin' bass and hybrids tight. Launch from Government Street or Riverview Park, watch for debris.

    Stay safe, wear PFDs, and respect them abundant eagles soarin' overhead.

  • Red River Fishing Report Highlights Largemouth Bass, Catfish and Ideal Spots Near Shreveport

    Red River Fishing Report Highlights Largemouth Bass, Catfish and Ideal Spots Near Shreveport
    Feb 20 2026
    # Red River Fishing Report - Shreveport Area

    Well folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Friday morning fishing report for the Red River and surrounding waters here in Shreveport. Let's get right into it.

    **Weather & Conditions**

    We're looking at gusty winds and low humidity across the southern plains today, which means the water's going to be a bit choppy but fishable. Those winds are pushing some good oxygenation into the water column, which typically gets the fish feeding. Keep an eye on visibility—we've had some fog advisories in the area, but that should clear out as we move into the morning.

    **Recent Activity**

    Word around town is that folks have been pulling some solid largemouth bass out of the local reservoirs and bayous. Down in Coushatta on Grand Bayou Reservoir, anglers just landed a beautiful 10-pound largemouth—that tells you the bite is definitely on for bass right now. The Red River itself has been consistent for catfish and various panfish species.

    **What to Throw**

    For bass, you can't go wrong with soft plastics—stick baits and creature baits are working well in these conditions. If you're targeting catfish in the Red River, fresh cut bait or chicken liver will get their attention. Live shiners work too if you can source them locally.

    **Hot Spots**

    Head out to the **Red River Bicycle Trail area**—it's accessible, scenic, and gives you solid access points along the water. The **confluence areas where tributaries meet the main river** are always productive, as baitfish and larger predators congregate there.
