Savannah River Fishing Report: Stripers, Reds, and Crappie Biting Amid Cooling Temps

# Savannah River Fishing Report - November 16, 2025 Well hey there, folks, Artificial Lure here with your Sunday morning fishing report for the Savannah River and surrounding waters. Let me tell you, we're looking at some really promising conditions out there today. First things first – the tides. We've got a high tide this morning at 5:41 AM sitting at 8.01 feet, and low tide's coming in around 12:11 PM. That's a nice window we're working with here. Sunrise was at 6:53 AM and sunset's not until 5:23 PM, so you've got plenty of daylight to work with. Now here's where it gets exciting. The fishing has been absolutely on fire as temperatures have dropped. Stripers are biting like crazy, we're seeing great action on reds, and the crappie bite is hot. I'm talking solid catches across the board. This cooler weather pattern is really turning them on. For your presentation, you'll want to have topwater baits in your arsenal – that's been working phenomenally in these conditions. Mix in some traditional inshore favorites and you're golden. Stripers love live bait, so fresh mullet or shiners will serve you well if you want to go the natural route. Speaking of hot spots, you've got to check out the shallows near Fort Jackson on the Savannah River proper – that's been consistently producing. And if you're running the back rivers and tidal creeks, you'll find excellent structure and holding fish, especially around those oyster beds and marsh edges. One heads up though – there is a Small Craft Advisory in effect for the coastal waters, so if you're planning to venture offshore, keep that in mind. But the river itself should treat you right.
