Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishin' report for Monday, December 22nd. Sun's up at 7:21 AM and sets at 5:24 PM, givin' us a solid 10 hours of light to chase 'em.

Tides4Fishing charts show a high **tidal coefficient of 70** today—pretty good action. Low at 3:39 AM (0.3 ft), high at 10:04 AM (8.2 ft), low 4:24 PM (0.4 ft), high 10:14 PM (7.0 ft). Fish the incomin' tide 'round mid-mornin' and evenin' when currents pull baitfish into the shallows.

Weather's lookin' chilly coastal-style: National Weather Service marine forecast calls for northeast winds buildin' seas to 5-7 ft offshore, so stay river-bound if you're in a small boat. Inshore, expect partly cloudy skies, temps hoverin' 45-55°F—bundle up, but calm enough for bank fishin'.

Fish are active post-front; solunar peaks align with tides for prime bitin'. Recent reports from local spots like Lake Olmstead (nearby Augusta Canal) note solid catches of **largemouth bass**, **bluegill**, **crappie**, and **catfish**. Downriver at Tybee, reds and trout are hittin' on the flats—folks pullin' limits of 15-20" reds and specks up to 3 lbs last week. Striped bass are schooled up too, with a few 10-15 pounders boated near the river mouth.

Best lures: **Chartreuse paddle-tail swimbaits** or **jerkbaits** for bass and reds on the drop-offs. **Bucktail jigs with soft plastics** tipped in shrimp for trout. Live **shrimp** or **mullet** under a float kills it for specks and cats—fish shallow mornings/evenings like Snoflo tips say.

Hot spots: Hit **Gamblin Beach** on the SC side for wadin' reds at high tide, or **Fort Pulaski** bends where current rips—structure holds big stripers.

Get out there safe, measure 'em, and release the big breeders.
