Savannah River April Bite: Reds Schooling, Drum Grunting, Stripers Hot

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to fishing guide right here on the Savannah River, where Georgia meets South Carolina. It's early mornin' on April 27, 2026, and the river's callin'—tides are runnin' strong per NOAA Tides & Currents, with a low at 11:33 PM last night, high of 3.48 feet at 4:28 AM, droppin' to 0.28 feet low by 11:18 AM, and climbin' back up to high at 4:59 PM. Weather's mild, mid-70s daytime with light southerly winds and partly cloudy skies—perfect for wadin' in without sweatin' buckets. Sunrise hit around 6:50 AM, sunset 'bout 8:10 PM, givin' us a solid 13 hours of light to chase 'em. Fish are active post-spawn, reds schoolin' in the shallows, black drum gruntin' on flats, and stripers pushin' upriver. Recent reports got folks pullin' limits: two slot reds and a fat over-slot black drum in similar coastal spots, plus tailin' reds by the dozen—action mirrors what's hot locally from angler chatter on forums like Trout Unlimited. Hit 'em with **topwater lures** like Zara Spooks or MirrOlures at dawn/dusk for explosive strikes, or **soft plastics** on jigheads—Gulp! shrimp in chartreuse or white. Live bait? Fresh shrimp or mullet on a fish-finder rig can't be beat for drum and reds. Prime hotspots: Ebeneezer Creek for sheltered reds on the incoming tide, and the Bluffton shoals near the Highway 46 bridge—target drop-offs and grass lines. Y'all stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in, and don't forget to subscribe! This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.
