Published 4 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to guy for fishin' the Savannah River down here on the Georgia-South Carolina line. It's Sunday mornin', December 28th, and we're lookin' at a solid day to wet a line with tides4fishing.com showin' sunrise at 7:24 a.m. and sunset at 5:28 p.m.—that's 10 hours of prime light. Tides are average with a coefficient of 56: high at 2:24 a.m. reachin' 7.8 feet, low at 8:38 a.m. to 0.9 feet, high again at 2:48 p.m. to 7.3 feet, and evenin' low at 9:07 p.m. sittin' at zero. Water's risin' early, so hit the outgoing for best current action.
Weather's mild per NOAA marine forecast—northeast winds 5 knots turnin' southwest this afternoon, seas 2-3 feet with east swells at 11 seconds. Cool and damp like classic December, perfect for stripers and reds holdin' in the creeks.
Fish activity's pickin' up post-front. Locals report steady redfish schools in the shallows, slot-size mostly 20-25 inches, with some 5-10 pounders boated yesterday usin' mud minnows on circle hooks. Speckled trout are active too, 14-18 inchers hittin' soft plastics, and a few black drum in the 10-20 pound range near structure. Bass anglers pullin' largemouth up to 5 pounds from river bends on crankbaits. Stripers showin' sporadic, best on live shad.
For lures, go with **vibratin' jigs** or **Yamamoto Senkos** for bass and reds—slow drag 'em bottom. Topwater mirrolures at dawn/dusk for trout. Best bait? Live shrimp or mud minnows under a poppin' cork, free-lined on the flood.
Hot spots: Ebeneezer Creek for reds in the grass on the outgoing, and the jetties at Savannah River Entrance for trout and drum—watch that tide rip.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and wear PFDs.
