# Savannah River Fishing Report
Well, folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Monday morning fishing report for the Savannah River area, and let me tell you, conditions are looking pretty decent out there today.
Let's start with the tides. According to the tide forecast data, we've got a high tide coming in around 9:13 in the morning, with a low tide hitting around 3:50 in the afternoon. That means right now, in the early morning hours, you're sitting in that transition period where the water's still moving—that's when the fish get aggressive. We're looking at tide heights ranging around 8 to 9 feet on the highs, which is solid for working structure along the river.
The weather's going to cooperate with us too. We're expecting temperatures in the low 60s this morning, warming up to the low 80s by afternoon. Northeast winds are running about 5 to 10 knots, which is manageable for most boats and kayaks.
Now, for the fish activity, here's where it gets interesting. The solunar forecast is showing us "better" conditions today with major bite windows from 2:02 AM to 4:02 AM and again from 2:31 PM to 4:31 PM. Those are your prime times to be on the water. Minor activity windows are hitting around 7:56 AM and 10:13 PM, so don't write those off either.
For lures and baits, you'll want to bring shad-pattern crankbaits—especially deep-diving ones if you're targeting stripers and hybrids. Throw in some small spinnerbaits and flukes. For live bait, slow trolling with live shad or herring over deeper structure is going to put fish in the boat. If you're working tighter to structure like docks and oyster beds, football jigs and drop-shot rigs are your friends.
Two hot spots I'd recommend: Fort Jackson on the Savannah River is always productive—it's got good depth variation and structure. Second, work the areas around Tybee Island if you're looking to get out toward the sound—the current movement through there concentrates baitfish.
