Savannah River Fishing Report: Late February Peak Bite with Strong Tides and Perfect Weather
Published 2 months ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishin' report for this crisp February 28th mornin'. Sun's risin' at 6:52 AM and settin' at 6:21 PM, givin' us a solid 11.5 hours of daylight to chase 'em down. Tides4fishing charts show a high tidal coefficient of 73 today—pretty good action with low at 6:06 AM hittin' 8.3 ft high, noonish low at 0.0 ft around 12:28 PM, then evenin' high at 6:35 PM pushin' 7.5 ft. Fish are feedin' strong on the flood tides, especially 'round dawn and dusk.
Weather's lookin' cooperative per National Weather Service marine forecast—light NW winds tonight into tomorrow, seas 2-3 ft, mostly clear skies with temps in the low 50s mornin', climbin' to upper 60s by afternoon. Perfect for wadin' the shallows or runnin' the river from Georgia to South Carolina banks.
Fish activity's pickin' up this late February—solunar peaks from Fishing Reminder hit 09:21-11:21 AM and 09:55-11:55 PM, prime for bitin'. Locals report solid catches last week: reds drummin' 20-30 inchers, speckled trout up to 4 pounds, a few slot limits on flounder, and black drum haulin' bottom. Stripers showin' in the deeper holes too, with some keeper sheepshead scrapin' pilings. Numbers are decent—anglers pullin' limits if ya hit the right current seams.
Best lures? Go with **chartreuse paddle tails** on 1/4 oz jigheads for reds and specks—they're tearin' it up in the murky flows. **MirrOlure twitchbaits** or **Gulp! shrimp** in new penny for trout. Live bait kings: fresh shrimp under a float for flounder, fiddler crabs or oysters for sheepshead. Fish the outgoing for reds, incomin' for trout.
Hot spots: Ebbs Landing on the GA side—drop shots in the cuts. And Lazaretto Creek near Tybee entrance, SC—structure holdin' big reds right now.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
