Savannah River Winter Fishing: Reds and Specks Biting Strong on February 25th

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guide, comin' atcha from the banks on this crisp February 25th mornin'. Water's runnin' steady on the Savannah—no flood worries per NOAA river forecasts showin' levels well below action stage at spots like Clyo and Augusta. Tides today at nearby Coffee Bluff on Forest River got a high coefficient around 100, meanin' strong currents: low at 'bout 3am and 3pm, highs hittin' 8-9ft near 9am and 10pm. Sunrise kicked off at 7am-ish, sunset 'round 6pm, givin' ya solid daylight for 11 hours. Weather's cool and cooperative—mid-50s daytime, light winds from the north, perfect for winter patterns. Fish are active in these shallows; reds and speckled trout leadin' the pack lately, with reports of stripers pushin' upriver and decent black drum hauls. Limits on reds comin' steady, specks hittin' doubles some days—folks pullin' 10-20 fish trips usin' live shrimp or mullet under a float. Best baits? Fresh shrimp or mud minnows hands down for bottom feeders. Lures-wise, go with **gold spoons** or **jerkbaits** in chartreuse for reds and trout—work 'em slow on the incoming tide. Fiddler crabs crushin' for sheepshead too. Hit these hot spots: **Coffee Bluff** for easy bank access and tide rips holdin' trout, or **Fort McAllister** downriver where the channel bends stack reds tight. Fish the outgoing for best bites. Y'all stay safe, check lines, and respect the creeks—Ogeechee Riverkeeper notes deadfall can shift with levels. Thanks for tunin' in, folks—subscribe for more reports!
