Red River anglers, Artificial Lure here with your fishing report for Monday, November 10, 2025. Sunrise hit at 6:38 AM, and you can expect sunset tonight around 5:12 PM. We’re waking up to some patchy fog, mist, and chilly temps near 61°F, with humidity running high and light east winds. The National Weather Service warns we’re under a freeze until 9 AM, so bundle up for those first casts. Clouds will linger most of the day, with only a slight chance of showers, highs peaking in the low 70s, and winds shifting northeast to northwest. No tides here—Red River’s flow is steady—but water levels are decent and clarity ranges from stained to murky, especially below the city after last night’s showers. There’s been a bit of rise in the river—fish are pushing tight to cover and into creeks and sloughs. Fish activity has picked up in this mild weather, especially by mid-morning once the sun’s up and things warm. Talking local catches this past week, it’s been a mixed bag. A cluster of bass boats showed solid limits over the weekend—several anglers weighed five bass bags between 10 to 16 pounds. Largemouth have been the showstopper, especially in backwaters and around bridge pilings. Folks have also picked up spotted bass, a handful of slab crappie below the locks, and a couple of chunky blue cats up near the Highway 1 launch. The southern stretches near the Port are putting out decent numbers of white bass, and sauger are finally starting to show as temps drop. Shreveport-Bossier City waters are giving up some healthy fish, backed by Major League Fishing reports about the area’s “best fishing in the world,” and local bragging rights are strong. The hot lure last week was a chrome or shad-colored lipless crankbait, ripped across current seams and above submerged grass. As water cools, slow-rolling a black-blue jig or Texas-rigged creature bait into laydowns and brush piles is the ticket. Bubblegum or chartreuse trick worms around docks have fooled some bigger bass. For crappie, folks swear by chartreuse and blue tube jigs, and old-school minnow rigs remain unbeatable, especially just downstream of bridges. Catfish are keen on cut shad chunks and chicken livers—look for deeper holes and bends. The bite window is best after 9 AM, once that freeze warning lifts and water temps climb. The midday sun gets those bass chasing bait atop shallow flats and submerged logs. Cloud cover gives some all-day action, so don’t shy away when skies are gray. Red River hot spots today: - Stoner Avenue boat ramp: Bass stack up in the slack water and around the riprap. - Below Lock & Dam #5: Crappie and catfish bite is excellent around moving water and eddies—watch for schooling white bass. - Bishop Point flats: Largemouth are cruising shallow grass and brush piles, best hit with jigs and spinnerbaits near noon. Remember, local tackle shops report Zoom Z-Swim in Tennessee shad is a can’t-miss for smallmouth in nearby lakes—worth tossing a swimbait on Red River points. If you’re fishing after dusk tonight, bundle up—temps will sink into the 50s and fog may return. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Keep those lines tight and don’t forget to subscribe.
