Hunting Bass on the Red River Before Winter Hits
# Red River Fishing Report – Thursday, November 27, 2025
Well hey there, folks. Artificial Lure back with your Red River, Shreveport fishing report for this Thursday morning. Sun came up at 6:41 AM and you've got till about 5:12 PM to get out on the water, so you've still got plenty of daylight to work with.
We're right in that sweet spot now, y'all. Late November means we're transitioning into what I call the fall feed phase. Water temperatures are dropping, the air's getting that real bite to it, and the bass are stacking up in the shallows to feed before winter sets in. This is when fishing can absolutely light up if you know what you're doing.
Here's what's been working recently around here – folks have been hauling in some solid catches on the Red River using shallow-running presentations. You want to match the hatch, plain and simple. If you're seeing shad movement in the shallows, throw something that mimics those baitfish. A Shallow Shad Rap in natural colors has been money. Soft plastic jerkbaits are putting fish in the boat too. Don't overlook the A-Rig either – it's a confidence builder when the bite gets tough.
For hot spots, get yourself up into those creeks and pockets. Look for places where something sticks out – a hard point, a big rock, some stumps, or laydowns that break up the contour line. Bass are traveling predictable routes right now, and they'll stop at these transition areas. The area around Cypress Bayou has been producing, and there's always good activity where you've got shallow shoals and humps.
Baitfish are the key right now. Follow where the shad are going and the bass won't be far behind. You can honestly catch them on most anything in your boat as long as it matches what they're feeding on.
