  • Summary

  • If you're planning to hit the Red River in Shreveport today, November 29th, here's what you can expect:

    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 around 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:08 PM. Since the Red River is a freshwater river, there are no significant tides to worry about.

    Fish activity has been good, especially for largemouth bass. The stable water conditions and moderate temperatures have kept the fish active. Yesterday saw a decent catch of largemouth bass in the 2- to 4-pound range, often found along the sandbars and rock jetties where there is current. Channel catfish up to 10 pounds were also caught, particularly around submerged tree stumps and root balls.

    The major bite times today are expected to be from around 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.

    For bass, using lures that mimic baitfish, such as crankbaits or soft plastics, can be effective. For catfish, live bait like nightcrawlers or chicken livers works well.

    If you're targeting crappie, consider heading to the oxbow lakes off the Red River. These areas, especially those with deeper water and plenty of stumps, are hot spots for crappie. Live minnows under a cork or hand-tied jigs in silver, gray, and black colors are good choices.

    Hot spots include Red Oak Lake and the Jungle in Pool 4, and the Red River South Marina or Bishop Park on the Shreveport side in Pool 5. Whitehouse oxbow in Pool 5 is also a popular spot.
