Savannah River Early Summer Bite: Reds and Trout on the Falling Tide

About this episode

The episode discusses the current fishing conditions and techniques for catching redfish and speckled trout on the Savannah River during early summer.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Savannah River fishing report for the Georgia–South Carolina line. We’re sitting on a warming early‑summer pattern. Around Savannah, the National Weather Service is calling for morning temps in the low 70s climbing into the mid to upper 80s this afternoon, light southwest breeze around 5–10 knots, and only a slight chance of a pop‑up shower inland. Humidity’s up there, so expect that heavy, muggy river air. Sunrise over the river was right around 6:18 a.m., with sunset near 8:30 p.m. That gives you long low‑light windows; first light to about 9 a.m. and then 6:30 p.m. to dark should be prime. NOAA tide tables for the Savannah River entrance show an early morning high followed by a late‑morning falling tide and another high toward evening. That mid‑falling tide is your money window for pushing bait off the edges of the grass, especially around creek mouths and shell points. Recent reports from local shops along Highway 17 and around Port Wentworth say the **redfish** bite has been steady with slot fish holding on the shell bars and flooded grass edges on the Georgia side, and in the smaller feeder creeks on the South Carolina side…
