Savannah River Fishing Report Dec 13 2024: Ideal Tides, Diverse Fish & Top Spots
Published 1 year, 4 months ago
Description
If you're planning to hit the Savannah River today, December 13, 2024, here's what you need to know. First off, the tidal conditions are quite favorable. This morning, you had a high tide at 8:03 AM with a height of 3.67 feet, and a low tide at 4:07 PM with a height of -0.08 feet[2][5].
The weather is looking decent, with sunrise at 7:17 AM and sunset at 5:20 PM. While the forecast doesn't mention any severe weather, it's always a good idea to check for any last-minute updates.
Fish activity has been good lately, especially with the recent stable but colder weather. The lower Savannah River, with its numerous backwater oxbows, is a hotspot for bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. Yesterday, anglers reported catching some nice largemouth bass, particularly around creek mouths using artificial lures like bucktails and large jigs. For panfish like bluegill and redear sunfish, crickets and worms fished under a bobber worked well[1][4].
If you're after striped bass, topwaters and large jigs are your best bet. For catfish, fishing near the bottom in deep holes is usually effective. The river's diverse fish population also includes species like hybrid bass, shellcracker, and various types of shad, although the commercial shad season won't start until January 1, 2024[1][4].
Some hot spots to consider are the areas around Purrysburg Landing and the S.C.L. RR. bridge. These spots offer a mix of freshwater and saltwater environments, which can be very appealing to a variety of fish species.
Remember to check the local fishing regulations to ensure you're compliant with all the rules and regulations.
Good luck out there, and tight lines
