White Catfish
Shreveport, Louisiana, provides a fantastic setting to pursue white catfish, particularly within the Red River and its associated bayous and lakes. Spring and early summer, coinciding with their spawning season, are typically the most productive times. These catfish often congregate in shallower, warmer waters near structure. Focus your efforts in areas with submerged timber, brush piles, and undercut banks. A local trick is to use live bait, such as small shiners or crawfish, fished on a Carolina rig. Cross Lake and Caddo Lake, located near Shreveport, are also worth exploring. These lakes offer diverse habitat and healthy populations of white catfish. Be mindful of the water levels in the Red River, as they can fluctuate significantly depending on rainfall. There are several public boat launches providing access to the Red River and surrounding waterways. The white catfish in this region are known for their scrappy fight, making them a fun target for anglers of all skill levels.
