Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha live from the banks of the Red River here in Shreveport. It's a fine spring mornin' on March 20, 2026, with sunrise at 6:52 AM and sunset at 7:23 PM—plenty of daylight for some prime fishin' action. Solunar forecast from solunarforecast.com rates today average, with major bites from 2:41 AM to 4:41 AM and 3:12 PM to 5:12 PM, minors at 8:24 AM to 9:24 AM and 11:05 PM to 12:05 AM. Moon's a 15% waxin' crescent, risin' at 8:54 AM—fish gonna be feedin' steady 'round them times.
Weather's lookin' sunny and mild, highs near 77°F with light variable winds, coolin' to 49°F overnight per eldoradoweather.com forecasts. No tides on the Red River proper, but them current flows from recent rains got the water movin' nice, stirrin' up the bottom for hungry bass and cats.
Fish activity's pickin' up this time of year—locals report solid catches of largemouth bass up to 5 pounds, channel catfish haulin' 10-20 pounders, and crappie schooled thick in 8-12 feet. Bluegill and white bass are bitin' too, with limits comin' easy last week per Bassmaster and local chatter. Anglers pulled strings of 20+ bass in tourney practice on the Red near Shreveport-Bossier.
Best lures right now? Go with **jerkbaits** and **spinnerbaits** in shad colors for bass—work 'em slow over grass beds. **Texas-rigged worms** in green pumpkin crush the crappie and cats. Live bait? **Shiners** or **minnows** on bottom rigs for cats, worms for panfish. Jigs with twister tails for suspendin' bass.
Hit these hot spots: Cross Lake spillway for crappie slabs—drop jigs 10 feet down. And the Red River bends below the I-20 bridge, where current breaks hold big bass—drag a Carolina rig there at dawn.
Y'all get out there safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
