# Red River Fishing Report - Friday, November 28, 2025 Well folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Friday morning fishing report for the Red River area around Shreveport, and let me tell you, we've got some prime conditions shaping up today. The sun's climbing up at around 6:30 this morning, and we're looking at sunset around 5:15 tonight, so you've got a solid eight-plus hours of good fishing light. The moon's in its first quarter phase, sitting at about 40% visibility, which should keep things interesting for both early morning and evening sessions. Speaking of timing, we've got major bite windows firing from 5:31 to 7:31 this morning—that's your prime time right there—and another major bite from 5:50 to 7:50 in the evening. The minor bites are hitting midday around 12:48 to 2:48 and again late night around 10:52. Don't sleep on those minor windows; they can still produce quality fish. Now, this area around Shreveport is absolutely stacked with quality largemouth bass and heavyweight blue catfish. We've also got excellent slab crappie and seasonal action on white bass and stripers mixed in. The Major League Fishing guys have been pulling solid weights off Cypress Bayou recently, so the forage is definitely moving and feeding. For your tactics today, work your standard topwater and crawdad-pattern crankbaits in the early morning. Those bass are aggressive right now. For catfish, live bluegill and shad are your bread and butter—drift them along the deeper holes. Crappie anglers should be tossing small jigs and minnows around structure. If you want to get out there today, I'd point you toward Cross Bayou—it's right in your backyard just outside Shreveport—or head out to the Cross Lake Dam and Spillway area about 4.6 miles out. Both spots are absolutely productive for everything swimming around here. Thanks for tuning in, and don't forget to subscribe for more reports. This has been a Quiet Please production.
