Savannah River Fishing Report: Stripers, Bass, Cats, Tides, Lures, and Hot Spots

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishin' guru, comin' at ya live from the banks on this crisp December 29th mornin'. Winds are pickin' up NE at 15-20 knots today per the National Weather Service marine forecast, with seas 3-4 feet buildin' to 4-5 by afternoon—bundle up and watch for those showers tonight. Sunrise hit early, sunset around 5:30 PM, and that waxing crescent moon's got fish bitin' strong: major windows 2-4 AM, 2:30-4:30 PM, minors 9:40-11:40 AM and 7:23-9:23 PM, straight from FishingReminder for Augusta waters. Tides at Savannah River Entrance via NOAA show low at -0.09 ft mornin', high 6.36 ft by 8:30 PM—fish the outgoing for best action. Recent reports got striped bass strikin' hot in Lake Hartwell stretches of the river, plus large and smallmouth bass, bream, catfish, and walleye showin' up steady. Locals pulled limits of stripers and cats last week on cut bait like shad or menhaden. For lures, run that Strike King Final Copy Weedless Swimbait to cover water snag-free in the weeds and structure—it's killin' it right now. Live shrimp or mullet on bottom rigs for cats and reds too. Hit these hot spots: New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam for bass ambushin' current, or Ninety Nine Islands for stripers roamin' the channels. Stay safe out there, check regs, and tight lines!
