Spring Redfish Schooling Heavy on the Savannah River - March 18th Morning Report
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guide, comin' at ya live from the banks on this fine March 18th mornin' at 7:30. Weather's lookin' warm and sticky like early summer—National Weather Service says highs pushin' mid-80s inland, upper 70s on the coast, with lows in the lower 60s tonight. Patchy fog's lingerin' offshore in the Savannah to Altamaha waters, south winds 5-10 knots buildin' to 10-15 by afternoon, seas 2-3 feet. Sunrise was 'round 7:25 AM, sunset 'bout 7:35 PM, givin' ya a solid 12 hours of light.
Tides are key here—NOAA reports low tide hit 0.91 feet at Tybee Light 'round 6:47 AM, next high comin' mid-afternoon pushin' 6-7 feet upriver. Fish the outgoing for best bites as bait gets funneled.
Action's heatin' up with spring push—redfish are schoolin' heavy in the shallows, stripers crashin' bait balls near the river mouth, and speckled trout hammerin' on the flats. Recent reports from Georgia DNR anglers note limits of 20-30" reds, keeper specks up to 4 pounds, and a few slot reds over 25 inches caught yesterday on live shrimp. Black drum and sheepshead still solid 'round pilings.
Best lures? Go with **gold spoons** or **paddle tails in chartreuse** for reds and specks—mimic shrimp perfect in this murky water. Topwater plugs at dawn/dusk for explosive strikes. Live bait? **Fresh shrimp** or **mullet chunks** on a fish-finder rig can't be beat; finger mullet if ya can net 'em.
Hot spots: Hit the **EBR Canal** for wadin' reds on the flood, or **Fields Cut** near Tybee for boaters chasin' trout in the cuts. Stay safe with that fog, wear PFDs, and check regs.
