Savannah River April Heat: Bass Shallow, Stripers Exploding, Reds Hammering the Flats
Published 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha live from the banks of the Savannah River on this fine April 10th, 2026, at 8:35 AM Eastern. Weather's lookin' mild today—mid-70s by afternoon with partly cloudy skies and light southerly winds around 5-10 mph, perfect for gettin' out there before the thunderstorm rumors kick in later. Sunrise was at 7:05 AM, sunset 'round 7:50 PM, givin' us a solid 12+ hours of daylight to chase 'em.
Tides are runnin' strong 'round here—low at 3:38 AM hittin' 0.8 feet, high at 10:16 AM pushin' 5 feet, then low again 4:47 PM at 1 foot, and evenin' high 10:32 PM at 3.5 feet, per Fishing Reminder charts. Fish the outgoing for best action, especially 'round structure.
Fish activity's heatin' up with this warm-up trend—bass are pushin' shallow in pre-spawn mode, striper bite's explodin' like up north but tailored to our waters, reds and trout hammerin' in the estuaries. Recent reports show limits of largemouth up to 5 pounds on jerkbaits and chatterbaits shallow, stripers on cut bunker and bloodworms at the beaches, plus reds, flounder, and sheepshead stackin' up. Bass Forecast says feedin's green-light hot through the weekend.
Top lures? Go with chartreuse/orange spinners, paddle-tail swimbaits on 1-3 oz jigheads, or stickbaits in 15-foot edges. Live bait kings are shrimp, mud minnows, or fathead minnows under slip bobbers—work 'em slow near drop-offs.
Hot spots: Hit Ebeneezer Creek for bass and stripers in the creeks, or Two Sisters' Cut near Blundell Island for reds on the flats—easy access, fish stacked.
Y'all stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs.
