Chilly Bite on Savannah: Crappie, Stripers & Bass Hitting Live Bait and Jigs, Tides Favoring Outgoing Flows

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishin' report for February 7th, 2026. Winds are kickin' from the northwest at 25 knots with gusts to 35 out near Grays Reef, per the National Weather Service marine forecast, so bundle up—chilly and choppy on the river mouth. Sunrise hit around 7:15 AM, sunset 'bout 5:50 PM. Tides at Bull Street on the Savannah are runnin' strong today—high around 7:58 AM at 7.1 feet, low at 1:49 PM near 0.5 feet, then evenin' high pushin' 8.6 feet by 8:35 PM, accordin' to NOAA predictions. Fish the outgoing for best action. River's been hot lately! A Waycross boy pulled 37 crappie and a striped bass last Thursday usin' live minnows and jigs, reports Joshua Barner's Southeast Georgia Fishin' Report. Upstream at J. Strom Thurmond Lake on the Savannah, USACE just refreshed fish attractors January 12th—bamboo poles sunk near docks and deep water, drawin' sunfish, crappie, largemouth bass, stripers, and hybrids. Smaller baitfish school there, pullin' in the big boys. Crappie and stripers leadin' the catches right now, with bass bitin' steady. For lures, jigheads with minnows or soft plastics like worms are killin' it; try artificials for versatility. Live minnows top bait, or cut bait for bottom feeders. Light tackle or jiggin' over those attractors. Hit these hot spots: fish attractor sites at Thurmond Lake near bank zones and docks—easy access, productive as heck. Downriver, try Isle of Hope on Skidaway for tidal flows pushin' crappie. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!
