  • Summary

  • For December 1, 2024, fishing on the Red River in Shreveport is looking promising, despite some recent fluctuations in water levels. 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 significant tides. Sunrise today is at around 6:54 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 5:01 PM.

    Weather-wise, expect a mild day with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to low 70s, making it ideal for both bass and catfish fishing. The wind will be light, blowing at about 5 miles per hour, which is perfect for fishing. There is a slight chance of precipitation, but it should not significantly impact your plans.

    The water levels, although they have been fluctuating, are starting to stabilize, which is good news for fish activity. Yesterday saw a decent catch of fish, particularly 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, especially around submerged tree stumps and root balls.

    For largemouth bass, using lures like soft plastic worms, crankbaits, and spinnerbaits can be effective. For catfish, nightcrawlers, chicken livers, and stink baits are your best bets.

    Major bite times today are expected during the early morning from around 5:45 AM to 7:45 AM and late evening from 6:05 PM to 8:05 PM, according to the solunar fishing times. Minor bite times are from 11:50 AM to 1:50 PM and 10:58 PM to 12:58 AM.

    Some hot spots to consider include the areas around 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. The Jefferson Shreveport Waterway Project and the areas around Wright Island are also productive spots.

    Overall, the conditions are favorable, and with the right lures and bait, you should have a productive day on the Red River. Tight lines
