About this listen

 Howdy y’all, Artificial Lure here with your Rio Grande, Texas fishing report for Friday, June 6, 2025.

Sun’s up at 5:53 AM this morning, and she’ll be sinking out west around 6:46 PM, giving us a good, long day of fishing. Weather’s settling in nice and steady—expect clear skies, temps in the mid-to-upper 70s early on, warming up by midday, and a light southeast breeze. That’ll keep things comfortable, but don’t forget your sunscreen and plenty of water.

Tide-wise, we’re seeing a high tide right at 4:07 AM, dropping to a low at 10:45 AM, then back up with the afternoon high at 4:48 PM. If you’re planning to target the coastal zones or down around the brackish river mouths, those moving waters around sunrise and late afternoon will be prime times for casting[6].

Fishing’s been hot this week with great reports across the board. According to the most recent Rio Grande fishing updates, largemouth bass are biting strong along the grassy edges and deeper pools. Best luck has been on soft plastics—think watermelon red or green pumpkin worms and creature baits. Lipless crankbaits in chrome or red have also put several chunky bass in the boat. Channel catfish are active in the deeper bends, especially near structures. Stink bait and cut shad have been the ticket, and don’t be surprised to tangle with a big blue cat if you’re fishing the holes.

For y’all after something a little different, the white bass are still running up from the coast, especially near creek mouths. Folks have been catching good numbers on small white or chartreuse jigs and live minnows. Over on the trout side, the Orilla Verde area near Pilar was recently stocked with over 2,000 rainbow trout, and anglers have pulled in some nice Rio Grande cutthroats from those deeper pockets—consider swinging a small spinner or drifting a nightcrawler through those runs for best results.

Top spots right now? The mouth of Terlingua Creek is lighting up for largemouth and white bass, especially at first light. The deep bend near Boquillas Canyon remains a catfish haven, and upriver towards Laredo, the white bass action just keeps rolling. Out towards the Brownsville coastal interface, folks are hooking into the occasional coastal speck and redfish on shrimp-tipped jigs around dusk, according to local guides.

Best baits this week: soft plastic worms and Senkos for bass, chartreuse spinnerbaits if you’re casting at dawn, and nightcrawlers or stinkbait for those cats. Live shiners are a solid choice for multispecies action if you want to keep it classic.

Don’t forget—lots of debris still floating from last month’s high water, so keep your eyes peeled and your casts careful.

That’s a wrap from the banks of the Rio Grande for today. Thanks for tuning in, folks, and remember to subscribe so you never miss the latest bite report. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease dot ai.
