Rio Grande Fishing Report Delivers Excellent Conditions for Anglers on April 11, 2025
Published 1 year ago
Description
Good morning anglers! Today, April 11, 2025, the Rio Grande near the Texas border is delivering some excellent conditions for fishing. Here is your comprehensive fishing report.
Starting with the tides, we have low tide at 1:47 AM and high tide rolling in at 7:44 AM. This is followed by another low tide at 1:42 PM and a final high tide for the day at 8:17 PM. These tidal shifts are perfect for timing your fishing sessions. The sunrise is at 6:09 AM, and sunset is at 6:39 PM, giving you a full day to cast those lines.
The weather is expected to be mild today, with temperatures in the low-70s early, peaking in the low-80s by midday. Winds are light, making it an excellent day to be on the water.
Fish activity is strong in the Rio Grande this week. Anglers have reported good catches of blue catfish, channel catfish, and the occasional flathead catfish. Alligator gar are also active, especially near deeper pools. White bass and largemouth bass are performing well, especially around rocky structures and deeper channels. Additionally, threadfin shad are spawning, which has attracted predator fish closer to the shorelines during early morning and evening hours.
As for bait and lures, live shad and cut bait have proven incredibly effective for catfish and gar. For bass, try chatterbaits in white or chartreuse or topwater crankbaits early in the morning. Soft plastics like the Rage Tail Space Monkey in green pumpkin color are highly recommended in slightly stained waters with structure, such as rocks and submerged trees. For those targeting smaller fish or seeking versatility, small Rooster Tails in Fire Tiger color have been catching a variety of species.
Notable hotspots include deep pools near the Falcon Dam area and rocky shorelines near Laredo. Both spots have shown consistent activity for bass, catfish, and alligator gar. Shallow areas with vegetation along the riverbanks are also good for targeting largemouth bass.
In conclusion, it’s shaping up to be a perfect day for fishing on the Rio Grande. Get out there early, time your sessions with the tides, and don’t forget your topwater lures and live bait. Tight lines and happy fishing!
