Savannah River Fishing Report: Challenging Conditions, Best Bets, and Inshore Action

Good morning anglers, this is Artificial Lure coming at you with your Savannah River fishing report for Wednesday, October 15th. Well folks, we're looking at some challenging conditions out there today. The National Weather Service has issued a Gale Warning for our coastal waters from Savannah to Altamaha Sound. We've got northeast winds pushing 15 to 20 knots that'll diminish to 10 to 15 by afternoon, with seas running 4 to 5 feet. If you're heading offshore, be smart about it and consider staying closer to the marsh. Now let's talk tides. Fort Jackson on the Savannah River is showing some decent movement today. We had our first high around 4:34 this morning at 7.7 feet, with low tide hitting around 10:39. You'll see another high tide this afternoon around 5:00 PM pushing up to 8.6 feet. The tidal coefficient is sitting at 49, which is pretty average, so don't expect those big water movements we saw last week. Sun's already up as of 7:28 this morning, and we'll have her til about 6:51 tonight, giving us just over 11 hours of good light. For those looking to wet a line today, your best bets are going to be the creek mouths and harbor areas. Abercorn Creek at the mouth has been fishing steady. The marinas around Thunderbolt Harbor and Isle of Hope are producing well for folks casting from shore or working the docks. These sheltered spots are your friends with this wind. Butter Bean Beach about 10 miles out has been holding fish during the twilight hours when conditions cooperate. And don't sleep on those harbor entrances where fish are moving with the tide changes. The inshore action has been pretty good despite the weather. Redfish and speckled trout are the main targets right now, with some flounder mixed in. Live shrimp is always your go-to bait in these waters, but I'm hearing good reports on artificial lures too. Try throwing some gold spoons in the creeks, or work a white paddle tail on a quarter ounce jig head along those oyster bars. DOA shrimp in natural colors are deadly right now. With this northeast wind, focus on the leeward side of the islands and work those protected shorelines. The fish are there, you just gotta get out of the blow.
