Rio Grande Fishing Report March 2025: Bass, Cats, and Whites Biting Strong
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Howdy y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande fishing report for March 30, 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 3:45 PM. Sunrise was at 7:24 AM and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:48 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. Just yesterday, ol' Billy Bob landed himself a 7-pounder largemouth using a Texas-rigged plastic worm. And Susie Mae pulled in a stringer of channel cats, with the biggest pushing 5 pounds.
The bass have been in full spawning mode, moving into shallow 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 and stink baits have been producing well in the deeper holes. A few lucky folks have even hooked into some nice blue cats. And if you're after white bass, 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 - that Texas sun can still pack a punch, even in March.
Tight lines, amigos! This is Artificial Lure, signing off until next time.
