Red River Shreveport Spring Spawn Report: Upper 60s Water, Bass Firing Up

About this episode

The episode provides a detailed fishing report for Shreveport, focusing on the spring spawn conditions and best fishing practices.

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for Saturday, April 25th, 2026. Water temps are sittin' pretty in the upper 60s, perfect for gettin' those fish fired up and headin' to the banks for spawnin'—just like the district reports been sayin' lately. Weather's lookin' mild with partly cloudy skies, light winds out of the south at 5-10 mph, highs pushin' 78°F and lows around 62°F. Sunrise at 6:42 AM, sunset 7:48 PM—plenty of daylight to chase 'em. No real tides up here on the river, but solunar peaks hit major from 1:08 PM to 3:08 PM and minor around 7:22 AM to 8:22 AM; time your casts then for best bites. Fish activity's hot right now with warm water wakin' everybody up. Recent catches around Shreveport show largemouth bass hittin' good on shorelines and structure—folks pullin' 3-4 pounders usin' spinnerbaits, crankbaits slow-rolled shallow, or plastics near rip-rap. Channel cats are good on worms, dead chubs, or cut bait off the bottom. Smallmouth and walleye poppin' too, plus some northern pike in weedy spots with spoons or hair jigs. Crappie and white bass schools are active pre-spawn. Best lures: Go with **spinnerbaits**…
