Savannah River Fishing Report: Reds, Trout, Stripers Bite - December 12th Update

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guru, comin' at ya with today's report for December 12th. Sun's risin' at 7:15 AM and settin' at 5:20 PM, givin' us a solid 10 hours of daylight to chase 'em. Tides today from Tides4Fishing charts: low at 2:42 AM (7.4 ft), high mornin' at 8:43 AM (1.2 ft waitin' no—hold up, that's risin' to 7.4 ft afternoon at 2:52 PM, then evenin' low 9:08 PM (1.0 ft). Tidal coefficient's low at 47, so currents mellow—fish the changin' tides 'round 8-10 AM and 2-4 PM for best bites. Weather's lookin' cooperative per National Weather Service marine forecast: northwest winds 10-15 knots, seas 4-5 ft nearshore, cool temps in the 50s-60s. Bundle up, but no blowin' gale to kill the fun. Fish activity's pickin' up this time of year—redfish and trout pushin' in the shallows, stripers schoolin' mid-river, speckled trout hittin' on the flats. Recent reports from local DNR chatter and solunar forecasts show good catches last week: limits of reds up to 25 inches near Fort Jackson, trout to 18 inches, even some flounder and sheepshead on structure. Solunar peaks today 'round 7-8 AM minor and major bites mid-mornin'—prime windows. Best lures: mirror-image my name, go with **gold spoon lures** or **jerkbaits** in chartreuse for reds and trout—twitch 'em slow on the drop. Soft plastics like paddle tails on 1/4 oz jigheads shine too. Live bait? Finger mullet or shrimp under a poppin' cork can't be beat for sheepshead and flounder. Hot spots: Hit the **Fort Jackson area** for reds on the outgoing tide—drop a line off the bank or kayak the cuts. Or try **Tybee Creek entrance** for trout strippin' spoons near the bars. Y'all get out there safe, check regs, and tight lines! Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
