Blue Catfish
Targeting blue catfish in Shreveport, Louisiana, means focusing on the Red River, the lifeblood of the region. The river's strong currents and abundant forage make it a prime habitat for trophy blues. Spring and fall are generally the most productive times, as the catfish are actively feeding in preparation for spawning or to bulk up before winter. Look for blues congregating near structure like submerged logs, bridge pilings, and deep holes, especially after periods of heavy rain when the river is up. For bank access, try Cross Lake or various points along the Red River Waterway. A local tip: shad is king here. Whether you're using cut shad, live shad, or shad-flavored artificials, it's hard to beat. The Red River blues are known for their size; fish over 50 pounds are not uncommon, so be prepared for a serious fight!
