  • Savannah River Fishing Report - Crappie, Stripers, and Redfish Thrive in Warming Waters

    Savannah River Fishing Report - Crappie, Stripers, and Redfish Thrive in Warming Waters
    Feb 8 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for the Savannah River area as of February 8, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, you can expect the first high tide at 4:21 AM with a height of 6.89 feet, followed by a low tide at 11:03 AM with a height of 0.44 feet. The second high tide will be at 4:52 PM, reaching 5.79 feet, and the final low tide of the day will be at 11:09 PM with a height of -0.26 feet[2].

    The weather has been warming up, which is great news for us fishermen. This warm-up has really gotten the fish fired up all over the place. With sunrise at 7:11 AM and sunset at 6:04 PM, you've got plenty of daylight to hit your favorite spots.

    Recently, the fishing in the Savannah River has been nothing short of spectacular. Mark Vick and Thomas Carroll had an incredible day on Friday, catching 52 fish, including crappie and fliers, using Tennessee shad Specktacular Jigs and Mirage Jigs. They didn't need to tip these jigs with minnows, and they fished deep, around 12 to 16 feet, near cover[1].

    For today, you'll want to focus on similar tactics. Crappie are active, and using a chartreuse back pearl 2-inch Keitech rigged on a chartreuse 1/16-oz. Flashy Jighead with a No. 1 Gamakatsu hook can be very effective. This setup has been producing quite a few crappie up to 14 inches in the lower Satilla River, and it should work well in the Savannah River too[1].

    If you're targeting other species, live mullet and shrimp on the bottom in 15 to 20 feet of water can be great for catching stripers and redfish, especially in areas like the Ogeechee River which is nearby. As the water warms up, these fish will start moving into shallower waters to get warm in the sunshine. A live shrimp or pollywog minnow fished stealthily with smaller floats and lighter rigs can also be very productive[3].

    For hot spots, I recommend checking out the lower sections of the Savannah River, particularly around creek mouths and deep curves in the creeks. These areas tend to hold a mix of species including crappie, stripers, and redfish. Another good spot is around structure in coastal waters, where you can catch sheepshead using fiddler crabs[3].

    In summary, with the warming weather and favorable tides, today is shaping up to be an excellent day for fishing in the Savannah River. Make sure to hit those deep spots with the right lures and baits, and don't be surprised if you end up with a full cooler by the end of the day. Tight lines, everyone

  • Fishing Report for the Savannah River February 7, 2025 - Primed for Action on Trout, Bass, and More

    Fishing Report for the Savannah River February 7, 2025 - Primed for Action on Trout, Bass, and More
    Feb 7 2025
    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

  • Savannah River Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, and More in the Cold February Bite

    Savannah River Fishing Report: Redfish, Trout, and More in the Cold February Bite
    Feb 5 2025
    Hey there, fellow anglers It's Artificial Lure here, and I'm excited to share the latest fishing report for the Savannah River area in Georgia and South Carolina as of February 5, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. We've just come off one of the coolest Januarys in a long time, with even some snow on the dock, which is unheard of around here. As of today, the temperatures are still on the cooler side, with highs expected in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-40s. This cold water has the fish moving a bit slower, but that doesn't mean they're not biting.

    The tidal report from the National Weather Service indicates that the water levels are relatively normal, with no significant flooding or tidal anomalies to worry about. Sunrise today is at 7:20 AM EST, and sunset will be at 5:57 PM EST, giving us a good window for both morning and afternoon fishing.

    Now, let's dive into the fish activity. In the inshore areas, the redfish and speckled trout are still active, despite the cold. Capt. David Newlin reports that the redfish and stripers have been biting well in the Ogeechee River, particularly on the bottom with live mullet and shrimp in 15 to 20 feet of water. These fish are in a slow-motion biting mode due to the cold water temps, so you'll need to fish your lures really slow, just off the bottom. A white Gulp Swimming Mullet on a 1/8-oz. jig head fished very slowly can work wonders.

    For speckled trout, they tend to be in deeper places during this time of year. Small artificials like crappie jigs or small screw tails in green, white, or pink can be effective. Sheepshead are also a good target in coastal waters, especially around structure like docks and artificial reefs. Use a fiddler crab for the best results.

    If you're looking to venture out a bit further, the live-bottom areas of the Savannah Snapper Banks are great for catching large black sea bass, trigger fish, and various species of porgy. Squid is a universal bait that works well here, especially when the water is cold.

    For some hot spots, I recommend checking out the Wassaw Sound and the Wilmington River for redfish and trout. The Isle of Hope and the Vernon River are also excellent spots, especially for trout during the colder months. If you're after sheepshead, the Bull River Bridge and Tybee Island’s back river are your best bets.

    In terms of specific lures and bait, live shrimp and mullet are always winners in these waters. For artificials, a white bucktail jig and bright-colored Rapalas can work well for stripers and redfish. For sheepshead, stick with fiddler crabs, and for trout, those small artificials mentioned earlier will do the trick.

    Lastly, if you're having a tough day, don't forget about the catfish up the river. A dead shrimp on the bottom can save your day when nothing else is biting.

    So, grab your gear, bundle up, and get out there. The fish are waiting, and with the right approach, you'll be reeling them in no time. Tight lines, everyone
