Savannah River Spring Fever: Stripers, Reds, and Bass Wakin' Up Saturday

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha with your Savannah River fishing report for Saturday, April 4th, 2026, right here on the Georgia-South Carolina line. Water's warmin' up nice into the low 60s after that quick jump last week, per local gauges, and tides are runnin' strong—high at 7:42 AM and 8:01 PM, low at 1:58 AM and 2:17 PM, accordin' to tide charts from the NOAA station at Fort Pulaski. Weather's lookin' prime: partly cloudy, highs in the upper 70s, light southerly breeze around 5-10 mph, sunrise at 7:15 AM, sunset 7:52 PM. Fish are wakin' up big time with spring fever—stripers and reds are pushin' in from the bays, holdovers gettin' aggressive on bait schools movin' upriver. Recent catches from Ebsco and Two Way Fishin' Fleet logs show limits of slot reds (20-25 inches) up to 15 per boat, stripers 25-35 pounds hammerin' the outgoing, plus keeper specks and a few fat catfish in the creeks. Largemouths are spawnin' shallow too, with reports of 5-8 pounders from the flats. Best lures right now? Chartreuse curly-tail grubs on 1/4-oz jigheads for reds and trout, or gold spoons on the troll for stripers. Live shrimp or mud minners under a floatin' cork can't be beat for specks—fish the pockets on the fall tide. Topwater frogs at dawn for bass if you're in the creeks. Hit these hot spots: the Bluffton Cut near Pinckney Island for stripers on the rip, or Ebsco Landing for reds huggin' the oyster beds. Launch early, wear your PFDs, and watch for barges.
