Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure with your boots-on-the-ground fishing report for the Red River and Shreveport area this Monday morning. Let me give you the breakdown on conditions today. Sun's up at 7:02 AM and we're looking at sunset around 5:18 PM, so you've got a solid window to get out there. Weather-wise, we're looking at decent conditions—nothing too crazy, which is perfect for a Monday get-out. Now here's the good news for folks targeting the Red River near Shreveport: according to the latest waterfowl survey data, we're seeing strong activity in this region with gadwall being the most abundant species, followed by ring-necks, shovelers, and green-wings. A lot of these birds are concentrated on managed wetlands in Bossier and Red River Parishes, and along the river south of Shreveport down to Lock 5. That tells you the water conditions are prime right now. For your solunar forecast today, you're looking at major feeding times from 1:21 to 3:21 AM and 1:47 to 3:47 PM—so hit it this afternoon if morning didn't work out. The day's rated as "better" for fishing and hunting activity. As for what's biting, the region's seeing excellent waterfowl presence with pintails, ring-necks, gadwall, and green-winged teal all active. If you're fishing beneath the birds, topwater lures and natural bait presentations are your best bet. Focus on areas with submerged aquatic vegetation—that's holding fish and attracting birds alike. I'd recommend hitting the managed wetlands in Bossier Parish or working the river bottom south of Shreveport toward Lock 5. These spots are producing right now. Thanks for tuning in!
