  • Summary

  • If you're planning to hit the Savannah River today, here’s what you need to know. As of November 22, the weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62 degrees and a low of 45 degrees, making for a crisp but comfortable day for fishing.

    ### Tidal and Weather Conditions
    The tide is expected to be low at around 8:15 AM and high at 2:15 PM. Sunrise is at about 6:43 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM. These tidal changes can significantly impact fish activity, so timing your casts accordingly is crucial.

    ### Fish Activity
    Fish have been active in the Savannah River, particularly around the tidal flats and creek mouths. Bass, both largemouth and spotted, are schooling in the creeks, chasing baitfish. Catfish are grouping up around deeper bait schools, and there have been good catches of bowfin as well.

    ### Types and Amounts of Fish Caught
    Yesterday saw some good catches, with anglers reporting several largemouth bass up to 2.5 pounds. There were also reports of bowfin up to 8 pounds and some decent catches of crappie and bream, especially around submerged brush.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For bass, using artificial lures around creek mouths, such as bucktails or large jigs, will give you the best results. Crappie and bream are biting well on live minnows or jigs suspended over submerged brush. For catfish, fishing near the bottom in deep holes with live bait like crickets or worms can be effective.

    ### Hot Spots
    One of the best spots is around the Augusta Shoals, where you can find largemouth bass, Bartram’s bass, and smallmouth bass near woody and rocky habitats. Another hot spot is near the tidal flats and creek mouths, where the fish tend to congregate during tidal changes.

    Overall, the Savannah River is offering some great fishing opportunities this time of year, so make sure to take advantage of the favorable conditions and target the right areas with the right lures and bait.
