Published 3 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guru, comin' at ya with the fresh report for Sunday mornin' on the Georgia-South Carolina line. Water's movin' today with low tide 'round 5:44 AM at 0.5 feet, high hittin' 12:06 PM at 7.8 feet, then low again at 6:26 PM 'bout 0.3 feet—perfect for targetin' those outgoing currents where fish stack up. Sunrise was at 7:22 AM, sunset 5:26 PM, and we're in a solid average solunar period with major bites from 10:46 AM to 12:46 PM lunar transit and 11:14 PM to 1:14 AM opposin' transit. Minor windows at moonrise 5:17-6:17 AM and moonset 5:16-6:16 PM. Weather's cool January style, northeast winds 20-25 knots gustin' 30 early, easin' to 10-15 after midnight, seas 8-9 feet droppin' to 7-8—bundle up and stay safe out there on the river or nearshore.
Fish are active in the winter chill, reds and specks tailin' in the shallows, flounder huggin' bottoms, black drum limits comin' steady, plus sheepshead, snook, and snapper showin' up recent trips. Captains report bunches of reds, black drum, and trout this week despite cold snaps—folks limited out on drum Jan 19, and reds bit even on the coldest days. Kings Ferry Pier's been hot for steady action, no trophies but non-stop pulls.
Rig live shrimp or cut bait near bottom for reds, trout, flounder, drum, and sheepshead—they can't resist. Artificials? Go crankbaits, jigs, or soft plastics on light tackle for specks and reds in the tide rips. Fish the outgoing for best odds.
Hit these hot spots: Kings Ferry Fishing Pier for easy access and steady bites, or run the channels off Wilmington Island and Port Wentworth for reds in the cuts. Gadny Bay area's loaded with structure too.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
