Savannah River Sunday: High Tides, Hot Bites - Reds, Trout, and Drum Bite Hard
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here, your go-to Savannah River fishing guide. It's a crisp Sunday mornin' on the river straddlin' Georgia and South Carolina, with sunrise at 6:59 AM and sunset at 6:16 PM—plenty of daylight to wet a line. Tides4Fishing charts show we're hittin' a high tidal coefficient of 74 today, meanin' strong currents: low tide 'round 6:01 AM at -0.1 ft, high at 12:08 PM pushin' 7.4 ft, then low again at 6:20 PM at -0.4 ft. Fish are gonna be chasin' that movin' water hard.
Weather's lookin' cooperative offshore from Savannah to Altamaha per National Weather Service—SW winds 10-15 knots, seas 2-3 ft, maybe a stray shower later, but inshore it'll feel like a mild winter day after last week's warmup. Georgia Outdoor News reports that heat fired up the bite everywhere; expect it to hold with solunar peaks from moonrise 'round 7 AM and lunar transit midday.
Fish activity's pickin' up post-front—redfish and trout are key players in the shallows, with stripers and bass joinin' the fray upriver. Recent catches include limits of slot reds (20-27 inches) on outgoing tides, speckled trout to 4 pounds, and black drum stackin' up near structure. Folks at Tybee Island are pullin' sheepshead off pilings too.
Best lures? Go with **gold spoonfish** or **jerkbaits** in chartreuse for reds and trout—mimic shrimp in the current. **Bucktail jigs** tipped with Fiddler crabs nail the drum and sheepshead. Live bait shines: **shrimp** under a float for trout, **blue crabs** or **oysters** for sheepshead. Fish the falling tide when they're feedin' aggressive.
Hot spots: Hit the **Back River marshes** near Fort Pulaski for reds pushin' into creeks, or **Daufuskie Island cuts** for trout ambushes—launch from Lazaretto Creek and drift the outgoing.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
