  • Summary

  • As of November 10, 2024, the fishing scene on the Savannah River, which forms the border between Georgia and South Carolina, is looking promising. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    The weather is partly cloudy with a high of around 68 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 50 degrees. Sunrise was at about 6:45 AM, and sunset will be at around 5:15 PM. The tidal report indicates a moderate tide, which is ideal for fishing in the river's backwater oxbows and main channel.

    Fish activity has been good, especially in the early morning and late evening hours. Bass, both largemouth and spotted, are active in the shallower areas, particularly around grass points and pockets. Yesterday, anglers reported catching several bass up to 2.5 pounds, with some larger ones escaping the hook.

    Crappie and bream are also biting well, especially around submerged brush and near the river's docks. Anglers caught crappie in deeper waters using Spider rigging with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs. Catfish are biting well in deeper bends and slack water areas, with spinnerbaits and nightcrawlers being effective.

    For bass, try using buzzbaits early in the morning and then switch to jigs to probe 10- to 20-foot-deep brush as the sun rises. For crappie, live minnows or jigs suspended directly over mid-depth brush piles are working well.

    Hot spots include the backwater oxbows and the areas around the Intracoastal Waterway near the city of Savannah. The numerous backwater oxbows offer good fishing for bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. Additionally, the areas with recently fallen trees, especially those out of the main current, are providing great habitat for these fish.

    Overall, it's a great time to get out on the Savannah River and enjoy some excellent fishing.
