Savannah River Fishing Report: Warming Waters, Promising Catches

Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Savannah River fishing report for March 12, 2025. The tides are looking good today, with low tide at 2:52 AM and 2:52 PM, and high tide at 8:18 AM and 8:45 PM. Water's rising in the morning, so plan accordingly. Sunrise is at 7:37 AM and sunset at 7:30 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to work with. Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with a high of 68°F and a light breeze from the southeast. Perfect conditions for a day on the water, if you ask me. Fish activity has been picking up lately as the water warms. Largemouth bass are starting to move shallow, with some nice catches reported near structure and along the banks. Crappie fishing has been hot too, especially in the backwaters and around brush piles. Last week, a few anglers reported landing some hefty striped bass in the 15-20 pound range near the I-95 bridge. Catfish have been biting well too, particularly blue cats and channel cats. For lures, I'd recommend trying some shallow-running crankbaits or spinnerbaits for bass. Jigs tipped with soft plastics have been working well for crappie. If you're after stripers, try trolling with large swimbaits or live bait rigs. Speaking of bait, live shrimp and minnows are always a good bet this time of year. Cut bait like mullet or shad has been producing for catfish. As for hot spots, I'd suggest checking out the area around Burton's Ferry Landing or trying your luck near the mouth of Brier Creek. The oxbows near Ebenezer Landing have been producing some nice catches too. Remember, the key is to stay mobile and keep trying different spots until you find the fish. Don't be afraid to switch up your tactics if something ain't working. That's all for now, folks. Tight lines and good fishing!
