Red River Report December 15 2025 - Crisp Winter Conditions, Shad Patterns, Solid Hauls at Stoner Boat Launch and Bishop Point
Howdy, folks, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for fishin' on the Red River right here in Shreveport. It's Monday mornin', December 15th, 2025, and we're lookin' at a crisp winter day with partly cloudy skies, highs in the upper 50s, and light north winds around 5-10 mph keepin' things steady—no major fronts blowin' through. Sunrise hits at 6:51 AM, sunset at 4:45 PM, givin' us about 9 hours 54 minutes of daylight, so get out early 'fore the bite slows.
No real tides on this stretch of the Red, but river flow's steady from recent rains, pushin' shad into the shallows—perfect for late fall patterns. Fish activity's pickin' up with the coolin' water; reports from the Spreaker Red River Shreveport Fishing Report show solid hauls last week at Stoner Boat Launch and Bishop Point oxbows. Anglers are pullin' in largemouth bass up to 5 pounds, crappie stackin' deep, and channel cats hittin' hard. Limits of 15-20 fish days on bass chasin' shad schools, plus white bass schoolin' in the current.
Best lures right now? Mimic those shad with shad-pattern crankbaits or A-rigs on the points—work 'em slow along drop-offs. Jigs tipped with minnows for crappie in 15-20 feet near brush piles. Live bait? Shad or cut mullet under a bobber for cats, worms for panfish. Fish the major bite windows around 7:40-9:40 AM and 8 PM tonight if you're night fishin'.
Hot spots: Hit Stoner Boat Launch for easy access and bass on the flats, or idle into Bishop Point oxbows for crappie ambushes—both producin' limits steady.
Bundle up, check your lines, and stay safe out there.
