Red River Fishing Forecast: Ideal Conditions for Bass and White Bass in Shreveport

For November 30th, 2024, the fishing scene on the Red River in the Shreveport area is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know: ### Conditions - **Sunrise and Sunset**: Sunrise is at 6:46 AM, and sunset is at 5:09 PM. - **Weather**: Expect a mild day with temperatures in the mid-60s to low 70s, perfect for a day on the water. - **Tidal Report**: While the Red River is not a tidal waterway, the water levels have stabilized after the spring floods, making it ideal for fishing. ### Fish Activity - Yesterday saw a good amount of bass activity, particularly around the sandbars and rock jetties. The dropping water levels and clearing waters have made these areas prime spots. - White bass are also abundant and provide a bonus for bass fishermen, as they tend to stack up similarly to largemouth bass. ### Types and Amounts of Fish - Largemouth bass were the main catch, with several anglers reporting multiple catches in the 2-5 pound range. - White bass were also plentiful, offering lots of action for those targeting them. ### Best Lures and Bait - For largemouth bass, crankbaits such as the 200 series Bandit or KVD Series 4 in shad, bream, or bright colors with chartreuse are highly effective. Fan cast these areas until you catch a fish, and then work the spot thoroughly as bass tend to stack up here[1]. - When the crankbait bite slows, switch to a june bug or similarly colored 6- or 7-inch V&M worm with a ¼-ounce slip sinker, fished slowly on the points of the same areas. ### Hot Spots - The Montgomery Area, Red Bayou, and St. Maurice are highly recommended. These spots have great launching facilities and diverse fishing environments[1]. - Focus on the backsides of sandbars and rock jetties, especially near runouts, bayous, and ditches. If fish aren’t on the points or bars, use your depth finder to scan the mouths of run-outs for active shad, which often attract bass. Overall, the Red River is in great shape for fishing right now, with plenty of bass and white bass to go around. Make sure to check local fishing regulations and enjoy your time on the water.
