Savannah River Fishing Report February 2025 - Bass, Crappie & Stripers Biting Strong
Published 1 year, 2 months ago
Description
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 9, 2025.
First off, let's talk about the tides. Today, you can expect a low tide at 2:19 AM with a height of -0.17 feet, followed by a high tide at 7:15 AM reaching 6.38 feet. The next low tide will be at 3:09 PM with 0.25 feet, and the final high tide of the day will hit at 7:43 PM with 5.50 feet[4].
The weather has been quite favorable lately, with a recent warm-up that's really gotten the fish active. Sunrise today is at 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at 6:04 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.
In the Savannah River, fishing has been excellent, especially with the warmer temperatures. Recently, anglers have been having a blast catching crappie, bass, and even some larger species like stripers. Mark Vick and Thomas Carroll had a great day last Friday, catching 52 fish, including crappie and fliers, using Tennessee shad Specktacular Jigs and Mirage Jigs without needing to tip them with minnows. They fished deep, around 12 to 16 feet, and targeted areas with cover[1].
For bass fishing, the Altamaha River has been a hot spot. Seth Carter and his buddy had an incredible day last Wednesday, catching around 30 bass up to 3 1/2 pounds. They used a variety of lures including crankbaits, worms, spinnerbaits, and jigs. The key was finding areas where the fish were actively feeding, and it seemed like almost anything they threw was getting hit[3].
If you're targeting crappie, the Satilla River is worth a visit. Bill Stewart and I had a great day there last Friday, catching 33 fish, mostly crappie, using a chartreuse back pearl 2-inch Keitech rigged on a chartreuse 1/16-oz. Flashy Jighead. This setup proved to be highly effective, and we released all but a handful for supper[3].
For those fishing in the Savannah River itself, the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad bridge area can be quite productive. Look for fish around the structure and in the deeper channels. Use lures like the Rapala RS Shad Raps, Rapala DT10’s, or suspending jerkbaits to target bass. For crappie, the Tennessee shad Specktacular Jigs and Mirage Jigs are still top choices[1].
In summary, the Savannah River and its surrounding waters are firing on all cylinders right now. With the right lures and a bit of knowledge about the tides and fish behavior, you're set for a fantastic day on the water. So grab your gear, and let's get fishing
