Rio Grande Fishing Report: Bass, Cats, and White Bass on the Bite
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Howdy, y'all! Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande fishin' report for March 22, 2025.
Let's start with the nitty-gritty. Tide's runnin' pretty normal today, with high tide hittin' around 9:30 AM and low tide comin' in at 3:45 PM. Sun's gonna peek over the horizon at 6:45 AM and bid us farewell at 7:25 PM. Weather-wise, we're lookin' at a mighty fine day with temps in the mid-70s and a gentle breeze comin' in from the southeast.
Now, let's talk fish. The largemouth bass have been movin' into shallower water, gettin' ready to spawn. Folks have been havin' a ball with soft plastics - them green pumpkin and blue fleck worms and creature baits have been workin' like a charm. Don't forget your trusty lipless crankbaits in red or chrome neither.
Channel cats have been bitin' somethin' fierce on cut bait and stink baits. A couple lucky anglers even hooked into some nice blue cats in the deeper holes. And for you white bass enthusiasts, they've started their spring run up the river. Small jigs and live minnows have been the ticket.
Last few days, we've seen some real beauties come in. Jim Bob landed himself a 7-pounder largemouth, and Sally Mae pulled in a monster 15-pound blue cat. The white bass have been runnin' in schools, with most folks catchin' their limit without breakin' a sweat.
For you live bait lovers, 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.
Now, for them hot spots. The mouth of Terlingua Creek has been producin' some nice bass, and the deep bend near Boquillas Canyon is always a good bet for catfish. If you're after them white bass, head upriver towards Laredo.
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, signin' off until next time.
