  • Summary

  • Hey there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on fishing in and around the Savannah River for February 7, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at mostly sunny skies with a high of about 79 degrees and a low of 59 degrees tonight. The wind is calm, blowing at about 5 to 7 mph, which is perfect for a day out on the water[2][5].

    Now, let's dive into the tidal report. While I don't have the exact tidal times for today, generally speaking, the best fishing times around Savannah are during the changing tides. Early morning and late afternoon are usually prime times to catch some of the bigger fish.

    Sunrise today is around 7:00 AM, and sunset will be around 6:00 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to get out there and reel in some beauties.

    Fish activity has been a bit sluggish due to the recent cold snap, but things are starting to warm up. In the upper and middle sections of the Savannah River, you can expect to catch freshwater species like Brook, Brown, and Rainbow Trout, as well as Yellow Perch, Crappie, and various types of Bass, including Largemouth, Smallmouth, and Striped[3].

    As you move down to the lower section of the river, which is more like an estuary, you'll start to see saltwater fish like Redfish, Flounder, Speckled Trout, and even Alligator Gar. Recently, anglers have had success catching crappie, catfish, and warmouth in the lower river areas[4].

    For inshore fishing, particularly in the Ogeechee River, Capt. David Newlin recommends using live mullet and shrimp on the bottom in 15 to 20 feet of water. Redfish and stripers have been biting well, and you might even catch some redfish mixed in with the stripers. A white Gulp Swimming Mullet on a 1/8-oz. jig head fished very slowly can work wonders. For sheepshead, fiddler crabs around coastal structures are a good bet[1].

    If you're targeting trout, they're in deeper places right now, and small artificials like crappie jigs or small screw tails in green, white, or pink can be effective. Just remember to fish your lures really slow, just off the bottom[1].

    For some hot spots, I recommend checking out the creek mouths and deep curves in the creeks around the Ogeechee River. The Savannah Snapper Banks, though a bit of a ride, can also be very rewarding for those willing to venture out[1].

    Lastly, don't forget that Georgia and South Carolina have a reciprocal fishing agreement, so you can fish the border waters of the Savannah River System with either state's fishing license, as long as you have one[3].

    So, grab your gear, and let's make the most of this beautiful day on the water. Tight lines, everyone
