Savannah River Fishing Report: Rising Tide, Redfish, Trout, and Bass Bite on Tap This Sunday

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishin' report for Sunday mornin', February 8th, 2026. Tide's risin' right now 'round Tybee Light and Skidaway—low at about 6 AM hittin' 0.3 feet or so, high pushin' 7 feet by late mornin' per Tide-Forecast and Tides4Fishing charts. Fishin' should pick up major from 11 AM to 1 PM with that lunar transit, and minor bites at moonrise 'bout 5 AM and moonset 'round 5 PM, Tideschart says. Weather's cool and breezy—winds shiftin' NW at 10-15 knots, seas 2-3 feet, chance of showers easin' off, straight from NWS marine forecast. Sunrise 'round 7:15 AM, sunset 5:50 PM. Fish are active in this winter flow—redfish and speckled trout schoolin' heavy near drop-offs, stripers pushin' upriver chasin' shad, and black drum haulin' bottom. Locals report limits of 2-5 pound reds last week on cut mullet and shrimp, trout up to 3 pounds hittin' soft plastics, per chatter from Tybee and Isle of Hope ramps. Bass in Clarks Hill tailrace goin' strong too, chunky largemouth per Major League Fishing buzz. Best lures? Jighead minnows or swim jigs in white or green pumpkin for reds and bass—vibratin' jigs tearin' it up in dirty water. Topwaters like frogs or spooks at dawn/dusk for explosive strikes. Live shrimp or mud minnows under a float can't miss for trout and reds; cut blue crab for drum. Hit these hot spots: Gamblin' Beach for wadin' reds on the flood, or the jetties at Tybee Light where tides rip and stripers stack. Fish safe, check lines, and wear your PFD.
