Rio Grande Fishing Report: Bass, Cats, and White Bass Galore
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande fishing report for March 26, 2025. The tides are running about normal for this time of year, with a high tide at 6:11 AM measuring 1.74 feet and a low tide at 12:42 PM at 0.62 feet. We've got another high tide coming in at 6:11 PM hitting 1.35 feet. Sunrise was at 6:21 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 6:35 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.
Now, let's talk fish. The Rio Grande's been firing on all cylinders lately. We've seen a good number of largemouth bass, channel catfish, and even some white bass making their way upstream. The largemouth bass are in full spawn mode, moving into shallower water. 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.
For you catfish enthusiasts, cut bait or stink bait near deeper holes has been producing some nice channels in the 3-5 pound range. The white bass run is in full swing, with folks catching their limits using small jigs and live minnows.
If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying your luck around the Falcon Dam area. The water's a bit cooler there, and the fish have been stacked up nice. Another good bet is the stretch near Roma. Lots of structure there, and the bass have been loving it.
For live bait, can't go wrong with shiners or nightcrawlers. But if you're feeling adventurous, try tossing a chartreuse buzzbait around some of that shoreline vegetation. The topwater bite's been heating up with this warmer weather.
Remember, folks, the key to success on the Rio Grande is to keep moving until you find the fish. They're out there, and they're hungry. So grab your tackle, head on out, and tight lines to ya!
