Savannah River Fishing Report June 6 2025 - Inshore Bite Sizzles, Striper & Crappie Action Heats Up

Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Savannah River fishing report for Friday, June 6th, 2025. Sun's up at 6:17 AM and sets around 8:32 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Tide-wise, we're looking at a high tide early morning with a mid-day low, so plan your trips accordingly. Let me tell you, the catching season has been nothing short of spectacular! Inshore fishing is in prime mode right now, with spotted seatrout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, black drum, shark, Spanish mackerel, and cobia all active and biting. If you haven't been out yet, you're missing the action! The early summer bite has really heated up in the past week. Bring your cast net because bait is plentiful - peanut menhaden, finger mullet, and mud minnows are easy to catch. Live shrimp has been harder to come by, so check with local bait shops before heading out, or come prepared with artificial shrimp patterns in various colors rigged on jigs. Cast and retrieve slowly for best results. River conditions are improving with the Savannah River at Clyo running at about 11.5 feet and falling, creating good fishing conditions. The fish are transitioning to their summer patterns, though watch for those afternoon thunderstorms - get your fishing in during morning hours for best results. For you striper and hybrid chasers, there's a good bite off shallow points early, but as the day heats up, they're moving to mid-depths. By mid-morning, you'll want to switch to more of a down-rod technique. Crappie fishing remains solid despite the spawn being behind us. All you need are minnows and knowledge of some mid-depth brush in the creeks. The post-spawn bite has been surprisingly better than pre-spawn this year. Catfish hunters should anchor on humps, points, and saddles with live and cut herring for a mixed bag of cats and stripers. Channel cats are hitting night crawlers and live bait hard. Hot spots this week include the artificial reefs near Savannah Snapper Banks for cobia, the middle sections of the Alapaha River for a mix of redbreast, bluegill, crappie, and catfish, and Bennett Lake for those hybrid bass - look for schooling shad late in the day and cast lures that trigger reaction strikes. Remember, this time of year, the fish are hungry and aggressive, so get out there while the bite is hot! Thanks for tuning in to your Savannah River fishing report.
