Rio Grande Fishing Report - Spring Excitement Builds on the River
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande fishing report for March 16, 2025. The tides are running about normal for this time of year, with a high tide around 9:15 AM and low tide hitting around 3:30 PM. Sunrise was at 6:38 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:22 PM.
Weather's been mighty fine lately - sunny skies with temps in the mid-70s. We've had a light breeze out of the southeast, perfect for keeping the mosquitos at bay while you're casting.
Fish activity has been picking up as we head into spring. The largemouth bass are starting to move into shallower water to spawn. Anglers have been having good luck with soft plastics like worms and creature baits in green pumpkin and blue fleck colors. Don't forget your trusty lipless crankbaits in red or chrome - those have been killer lately.
Channel cats have been biting well on cut bait and stink baits. A few lucky folks have even hooked into some nice blue cats in the deeper holes. For you white bass enthusiasts, they've started their spring run up the river. Small jigs and live minnows have been the ticket.
Best spots to try your luck? The mouth of Terlingua Creek has been producing some nice bass, and the deep bend near Boquillas Canyon is always a good bet for catfish. If you're after white bass, head upriver towards Laredo.
For live bait, can't go wrong with shiners or nightcrawlers. But if you're like me and prefer artificials, tie on a chartreuse spinnerbait or a watermelon red flake Senko and you'll be in business.
Remember to keep an eye out for debris in the water - we've had some high water lately that's washed a lot of stuff downstream. And don't forget your sunscreen and plenty of water - it may be spring, but that Texas sun can still pack a punch.
Tight lines, amigos! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
