Fall Feeding Frenzy on the Red River: Lure Up for Explosive Bass Action
# Artificial Lure's Red River Fishing Report - November 15, 2025
Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Saturday morning fishing report for Red River and the Shreveport area, and let me tell you, today's shaping up to be absolutely beautiful on the water.
**Weather & Conditions**
Mother Nature's throwing us a gift today. We're looking at mostly sunny skies with highs climbing near 82 degrees, and that's perfect fishing weather. Southwest winds are running 10 to 15 with gusts up to 25, so you might want to position yourself on the lee side of your favorite spots. No coats needed—just grab your shades and hit the water.
**What's Been Biting**
Now, recent tournament action on the Texas lakes—particularly Lake Fork and Lake Athens—has shown us what's working in similar East Texas conditions. The bass have been absolutely explosive, and we're seeing similar patterns here on Red River. Shallow spawning areas have been hot, especially around grass, wood, and docks. Sight fishing has been productive for anglers who can spot bedding fish in the shallows.
**Best Lures & Baits**
Here's what I'd be throwing today: start with shallow-running crankbaits like a Rapala DT-10 in shad patterns. Bring some finesse wacky-rigged plastics in green pumpkin or Merthiolate colors—that old school floating worm technique is working extremely well. Don't overlook a good white or black-and-blue bladed jig for some bottom coverage. If you prefer live bait, focus on small shiners and crawfish.
**Hot Spots**
I'd be checking out the main lake pockets where structure meets shallow grass—those transition zones are where the quality fish are holding. Look for subtle points and small ditches with rock piles or logs. Also, work the back of creeks where baitfish are schooling.
One thing to note: the Red River Parish area is running pretty dry this season, so water levels might be lower than usual. That actually concentrates fish, which can work in your favor.
**Final Thoughts**
Get out there early and take advantage of this gorgeous weather. The fall feeding frenzy is on, and the bass are fattening up before winter. Don't get discouraged by the boat traffic—yeah, the ramps are busy these days, but the fish are still there.
