Bossier City is a fantastic base for targeting largemouth bass in northwest Louisiana. The Red River is the main draw, offering miles of fishable water with diverse habitat. Spring and fall are generally the best seasons. During the spring, bass will be shallow, protecting spawning beds along the banks and in backwater sloughs. Throw spinnerbaits, shallow-running crankbaits, and soft plastics around vegetation and structure. As the water warms in summer, bass move deeper, relating to submerged timber and channel edges. Carolina rigs, Texas rigs, and deep-diving crankbaits are effective then. In the fall, bass will again move shallower as the water cools, chasing baitfish. The Red River is known for its fluctuating water levels, so check conditions before you go. Public boat ramps are available throughout the area, providing easy access. Be aware of submerged hazards and always wear a life jacket. The largemouth bass in the Red River are known for their aggressive strikes, making for exciting fishing.
