Fall Frenzy on the Red: Fishing Report for Shreveport, LA on October 10, 2025
Published 3 months ago
Description
Artificial Lure here with your Friday morning fishing report for October 10, 2025, coming straight out the heart of the Red River in Shreveport. Folks, the cool fronts are rolling in, and that crisp air has set the banks buzzing with anticipation—fall feeding is officially underway.
First, let’s talk weather: We’re waking up to clear skies, a morning temp around 62, climbing into the mid-70s by mid-afternoon. No rain expected today, making for a perfect stretch on the river. According to FishingReminder, sunrise hit at 7:12 AM, and sunset will slide in at 6:47 PM, giving us a full day to get after it. The moon’s in a strong waning gibbous, still shining at 91%—that’s got the night biters lively, and the water clarity is holding up nicely after last week’s showers.
Tidal influence on the Red isn’t huge, but water levels are steady after being a hair high. There’s a good slight flow in the main channels this week, keeping baitfish nervous and the predator fish aggressive. For peak bite windows, the early minor from 4:25 to 6:25 AM has already wrapped, but make sure to hit that late-morning major bite from 10:44 to 12:44. Don’t miss the minor evening rush from 5:04 to 7:04—sunsets have been producing that classic bite as the day cools off.
Now for the fish: In the last 48 hours, local anglers have been reporting strong numbers on largemouth bass, with several fish between 2 and 5 pounds coming from submerged brush piles and shell beds along the bank cuts. Catfish are picking up again, with chunky blues in the deeper holes just off the main channel bends—cut shad and chicken liver have been the keys here. Crappie are schooling up tight under docks and deeper brush; jigs tipped with minnows are landing limits for patient anglers willing to sort through the smaller fish.
Best lures for this stretch today: For bass, tie on a black and blue jig or a dark-colored Texas rigged worm—crawfish patterns will also smoke ‘em near the rocks and timber. Low-light hours are prime for topwater walkers or poppers; shad-colored spinnerbaits are finding biters when the wind kicks up. For crappie, don’t overlook hair jigs in chartreuse on a slow retrieve. Catfish folks, stick with cut bait for bigger blues and channels; nightcrawlers are catching steady but smaller fish in slack water.
If you’re searching for a few hot spots, check around the mouth of Twelve Mile Bayou—the junction with the main river has seen steady action this week, especially for bass and crappie. The riprap stretch near the Stoner Avenue boat ramp is another local favorite—look for eddies and shade pockets. Try the bends near the old railroad bridge for some consistent catfish action, too.
Remember, as water temperatures drop, baitfish will bunch up and the bite windows will get shorter but sweeter. Adjust your techniques: slow down, scale down in clear water, and keep your presentations tight to cover.
