Savannah River Winter Bite: Reds, Stripers, and Peak Solunar Times on Feb 23rd

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guide, comin' atcha live from the banks on this crisp February 23rd mornin'. Tides today at Savannah show low at 4:56 AM hittin' 0.6 feet, high risin' to 10:33 AM at 7.7 feet, then low again 5:25 PM at 0.7 feet, and evenin' high 10:43 PM at 7.3 feet—perfect for workin' the incoming current, per Tides4Fishing charts for Fort McAllister on the Ogeechee. Weather's cool and clearin' up after that front, highs in the low 60s, light NW winds 5-10 knots offshore from Savannah to Altamaha, accordin' to National Weather Service marine forecast. Sunrise kicked off at 7:13 AM, sunset's 7:20 PM—prime daylight for solunar peaks. Best bites hittin' major from dawn moonrise 'til 6 AM, then big lunar transit 10 AM-noon, and late night 11 PM-1 AM; minor pops at moonset 'round 6 PM. Fish are active in this winter bite—redfish schoolin' heavy in the shallows, stripers pushin' upriver chasin' shad, speckled trout hittin' steady, and black drum bulkin' up on bottom. Recent reports got folks pullin' limits: 15-20 reds per boat last weekend near the river mouth, trout to 4 pounds on flats, stripers 8-12 pounds blitzin' mid-river, per local angler logs and NOAA tide-correlated catches. Go with **artificial lures** like 1/4-oz chartreuse paddle tails on jigheads for reds and trout—my signature vibe in murky water. Gold spoons or mirror-finished minnow plugs for stripers in current seams. Live bait? Fresh shrimp under a popping cork or mud minnows on circle hooks for drum—can't beat 'em when tides swing. Hot spots: Hit the **Augusta Canal drop-off** for stripers, or **Tybee Island Inlet cuts** for reds and specks—park at the ramp and wade the bars. Y'all stay safe, check regs, and tight lines!
