# Savannah River Fishing Report
Well folks, this is Artificial Lure coming to you with your Sunday morning fishing report for the Savannah waters. Let me break down what we're working with today.
**Tide and Water Conditions**
We're looking at excellent tidal action right now. According to the Savannah tide charts, we've got a high tide coming in at 8:13 AM at 9.25 feet—that's prime time for the redfish and stripers to be moving up into the shallows. We'll see a low tide at 1:58 AM and another low at 2:32 PM, so plan your morning bite before that first low and again in the late afternoon when the water starts pushing back in.
**Weather**
The conditions are favorable today. We're looking at about 73 degrees with light winds around 14 miles per hour—nothing too aggressive. Cloud cover is minimal at just 9 percent, so the sun's gonna be bright. Sunrise was at 7:31 AM and we've got good light until sunset at 6:47 PM, giving us over 11 hours to work the water. Water temperature is sitting at a cool 69 degrees—perfect for winter stripers and reds.
**Fish Activity and What's Been Biting**
The solunar tables show strong activity today with major fishing windows from 10:46 AM to 12:46 PM during lunar transit, and another solid bite window from 11:14 PM to 1:14 AM when the moon's down. Minor activity hits from 5:17 AM to 6:17 AM at moonrise and again at 5:16 PM during moonset.
**Best Tactics and Lures**
For these winter conditions in the Savannah, you want to focus on depth changes and structure. This time of year, stripers and redfish are hugging deeper holes and channel edges. Live shrimp work fantastic—that's the natural forage right now. Mullet is always solid. If you're throwing artificials, go with topwater plugs early in that morning window, then switch to soft plastics and swimbaits once the sun gets up. Silver and natural patterns work best in clear winter water.
**Hot Spots**
Get yourself to Fort Jackson—it's only three miles from the main launch and those docks hold fish year-round. The currents run strong there during tide changes. Isle of Hope up the Skidaway River is another gem for redfish in the shallows. Both spots will be productive during that high tide push this morning.
Thanks for tuning in to the Savannah fishing forecast! Make sure you subscribe for daily reports, and remember—tight lines out there.
