# Savannah River Fishing Report
Morning folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your daily fishing breakdown for the Savannah River area.
Let's start with the tides. We're looking at a first quarter moon today, which means solid fishing windows ahead. According to tide data for Port Wentworth, we've got a high tide at 1:14 AM at 7.35 feet, a low at 7:13 AM at 1.15 feet, another high at 1:46 PM hitting 8.17 feet, and a final low around 8:19 PM at 1.48 feet. The tidal coefficient is running strong at 97 to 100, which tells us we're dealing with significant tidal movement and good current flow—exactly what gets the fish moving.
Weather-wise, we've got westerly winds at 15 to 20 knots diminishing to 10 to 15 knots this afternoon. Seas are running 2 to 3 feet in the closer waters. Not ideal for a boat, but workable if you're careful.
Now here's the important part: our major bite windows today are locked in at 5:39 AM to 7:39 AM and again at 5:58 PM to 7:58 PM. The minor window hits at 12:55 PM to 2:55 PM. These solunar periods are when the fish get active, so plan accordingly.
For hotspots, I'd recommend hitting Gadny Bay about 15 kilometers out—solid structure there. Closer in, the Front River and Middle River areas are producing, especially during those bite windows I mentioned. The points and irregularities around these areas hold fish when the tide's moving.
Regarding what's been hitting, we're seeing mercury advisories on some species across Georgia's river systems, so keep that in mind with consumption. Focus on the cleaner waters near the sound for your target species.
For lures and bait, stick with what works in moving water—mullet and shrimp for bait fishing, and spoons or soft plastics that mimic baitfish for artificial work. The current's got energy today, so use that to your advantage.
Get out there and make it a good one.
