Rio Grande Fishing Report June 1 2025 - Largemouth, Catfish & Coastal Specks Biting Strong
Published 11 months ago
Description
Howdy, this is Artificial Lure with your June 1, 2025, Rio Grande, Texas fishing report. The sun’s rising at 6:40 AM and setting just past 8:30 PM today, giving us plenty of daylight for casting lines. Winds are light out of the southeast, temps are starting in the low 70s at sunrise and climbing into the upper 80s by afternoon—typical for early summer down here. Skies are mostly sunny, but keep an eye for a stray afternoon shower, especially as the humidity builds up.
Tide-wise, we've got a high tide coming in around 9:30 AM and low tide hitting after 3:30 PM—right in the sweet spot for that aggressive early bite window and some good late-afternoon action. Water’s running a touch stained but clearing up after the recent storm runoff.
Fishing’s been hot this week, especially in the main river and backwater sloughs. Largemouth bass are still hanging shallow early, moving to structure by mid-morning. Folks have been pulling in solid numbers—several bass in the 3-to-5-pound range—using green pumpkin and watermelon red soft plastics. Lipless crankbaits in chrome or red have been fooling those more aggressive fish, especially near grassy points and submerged timber.
For you catfish chasers, action’s been steady around the deeper holes and channel swings—cut shad and stinkbait are drawing plenty of bites. Channel cats up to 6 pounds and the occasional big blue up to 20 have been reported, especially near the bend by Boquillas Canyon.
White bass are still making a bit of a late-spring run upriver. Small jigs and live minnows are your ticket here, and anglers upriver towards Laredo have reported stringers up to the daily 25-fish limit.
On the coastal side, just down near Port Isabel, redfish and speckled trout are prowling the Lower Laguna Madre grass flats. Chartreuse paddletails, shrimp-tipped popping corks, and topwater walkers like the Super Spook Jr. at first light have all been effective. There’s even been a few nice flounder caught along the channels, with live mud minnows getting the job done.
Local hot spots? Try the mouth of Terlingua Creek for bass and the deep bend near Boquillas for cats. Heading south, the jetties at Boca Chica and flats near Port Isabel are your best shot for reds and specks.
Best baits this week: green pumpkin and blue fleck soft plastics, chrome or red lipless crankbaits for bass, cut shad and nightcrawlers for cats, and chartreuse spinnerbaits or live shiners for white bass. On the salt, stick with soft plastic paddletails, live shrimp, and topwater plugs.
That’s today’s rundown from Rio Grande country. Thanks for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for your next fishing fix. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
