Report
Water temps are ranging from 49-55. The lake is at normal levels but should rise above normal levels after the weekend rain. Bass are hitting a variety of lures right now such as traps and spinnerbaits, stick with your light or shad colors. These are mainly being used in or over the grass flats. Jigs and soft plastics in the grass and on the cypress are catching some decent bass also. Brown and Tennessee Shad colored crankbaits on the cypress trees in 3-6 ft. of water are catching bass also. Crappie are fair right now. Shiners and 1/16 oz. jigs in most any color combo will catch Crappie from around the edges of the grass and pads on the channel drops. Try fishing the laydowns on the edges of the steeper drops in the river also. We have also been catching some big numbers of huge white bass in the Big Cypress channel...when they are up schooling most any topwater or trap will work and when down try using tailspinners, spoons, and traps hopped off the bottom.

My name is Paul Keith and I am a licensed guide who owns and operates the guide service. I have lived on and fished this lake all my life. Currently fish over 225 days a year and have done so for the past 15 years.
Hold the record for the most bass over 8 lb.(43 to date) With the 2 largest over 12 lb. Most all these bass were certified and released on the lakes Trophy Replica Program.
Being a guide and tournament fisherman I know what it takes to be successful at fishing and that is time on the water there is no replacement for it.
So whether you are a beginner or an avid angler there is something for everyone here on Caddo Lake. Come visit the lakes beauty, rich history, and mysterious waters, not to mention its many lunker sized bass.
Grab your rod and your camera and come see all that this lake has to offer. Caddo is just 20 miles north of Shreveport, La. and sits on the Tx./La. border."
