Savannah River Spring Bite: Trout Limits and Red Fish on the Rise
Published 9 hours ago
Description
Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guru, comin' at ya live from the banks on this fine April 30, 2026, at 3 AM Eastern. Dawn's breakin' soon—sunrise at 6:52 AM, sunset 'round 8:12 PM, givin' us a solid 13+ hours of light to chase 'em.
Weather's lookin' prime: mild 70s daytime, light southerly breeze at 5-10 knots, partly cloudy skies per local forecasts—no fronts messin' things up. Tides are key here on the river—high at 9:17 AM and 9:42 PM, low at 3:35 AM and 4:12 PM. Fish the outgoing tide hard, 'specially 2 hours before and after lows when current sweeps bait through the cuts.
Fishin's heatin' up spring-style! Recent reports show limits of **speckled trout** stackin' on oyster reefs and bridge pilings—folks pullin' 15-25 fish days on soft plastics under poppin' corks and topwaters early. **Redfish** slots and overslots crashin' shorelines in 2-3 feet over shell, mixed bags with a few **flounder** gigged in current pockets. Water temps hoverin' 72-74°F, bait schools everywhere—trout bitin' aggressive on Deadly Dudley tails on 1/8-oz jigheads or shrimp imitations. Striped bass and stripers active too on the river bends.
Best lures: **walking topwaters** like Heddon Super Spook Jr. at dawn/dusk, paddle-tail soft plastics slow-rolled bottom, or Fish Smack corks with shrimp. Live bait? Fresh shrimp or mullet on circle hooks—can't beat 'em for reds and trout.
Hot spots: Hit the **Ebenezer Creek flats** for reds on the outgoing, or **Bluffton oyster bars** near the SC line—anchor, fan-cast, and work that shell. Stay safe, check regs—NOAA just greenlit conservation equivalency for flounder and black sea bass, so state limits apply.
