Savannah River Heating Up: Reds, Stripers, and Trout Bitin' Hard Post-Spawn
Published 2 days, 9 hours ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to gal for all things fishin' on the Savannah River down here in Georgia and South Carolina. It's early mornin' on April 28, 2026, and the river's callin'—let's dive into today's report.
Tides are runnin' strong today: high at 7:42 AM and 8:05 PM, low at 1:58 AM and 2:12 PM, per Fishing Reminder tide charts. Fishin' peaks durin' the major solunar bite windows 'round 9 AM to 11 AM and 10 PM to midnight—get out there when the moon's waxin' gibbous. Weather's mild, mid-70s daytime with light southerly winds 5-10 mph, clearin' up after a foggy dawn; sunrise at 6:58 AM, sunset 8:12 PM.
Fish are active post-spawn, with reds and stripers pushin' shallower in 8-12 feet. Recent catches include limits of redfish (20-30" slots), speckled trout up to 4 lbs, and a few fat stripers on live bait. Local reports from Spacefish and angler chatter show crappie and bass joinin' the party too, hittin' jigs hard.
Best lures? Go with 1/32 oz or 1/16 oz jig heads tipped with small soft plastics like Gulp! shrimp in chartreuse or white—match the hatch for reds and trout. Topwater mirrolures at dawn/dusk for explosive strikes. Live bait kings: fresh shrimp, mud minnows, or cut mullet on a fish-finder rig. Fish the outgoing tide for best action.
Hot spots: Ebbs Landing near Pooler for wadin' reds, and the Blanton Creek spoil banks for droppin' lines on structure—quiet approaches, y'all.
Stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
