Savannah River Spring Bite: Stripers, Reds and Specks Firing on All Cylinders

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishin' report for April 20, 2026, right here on the Georgia-South Carolina line. Dawn's breakin' early at 6:58 AM, sunset's 'round 8:02 PM, givin' us a long day on the water. Weather's mild—partly cloudy, highs in the low 70s, light southerly winds at 5-10 mph, perfect for wadin' or runnin' the boat. Tides are risin' slow this mornin', high around 10 AM near 7 feet at Savannah, then fallin' tide peakin' bite windows mid-afternoon per FishingReminder tide charts. Fish are wakin' up strong in spring flows—striped bass chasin' shad upriver, reds and speckled trout hammerin' shallows on the flats. Recent reports from local ramps show limits of 2-5 lb stripers, slot reds to 25 inches, and keeper trout daily. Catfish are stackin' in holes, pullin' 10-20 pounders on cut bait. Smallmouth and largemouth bass hittin' good too, especially post-spawn. Best lures right now? Toss Rapala X-Raps or Husky Jerks in shad patterns for stripers and bass—work 'em twitch-twitch-pause over points. For reds and trout, go with 3-inch white paddletails on 1/4 oz jigheads or DOA shrimp. Live shrimp or mullet under a float kills it for speckled trout and reds; cut menhaden or chicken liver for blues and cats. Early mornin' and last light are gold—solunar peaks align with major feedin'. Hit these hot spots: Ebey's Landing bend for stripers on the drop-offs, and Two Sisters Cut off Lady's Island for reds in the grass—park easy, action's non-stop.
