Tides, Weather, and Hot Spots for Savannah River Anglers on December 14, 2024

If you're planning to hit the Savannah River today, December 14, 2024, here’s what you need to know. The tidal report indicates a low tide at around 6:44 PM with a height of 0.46 feet, and a high tide earlier at 12:16 PM with a height of 7.09 feet. The tidal coefficient is high, suggesting strong tidal movements and currents, which can significantly impact fish activity. Weather-wise, it's expected to be partly cloudy with a high of around 62°F and cooler nights around 48°F, making it a crisp but comfortable day for fishing. Sunrise was at 7:09 AM, and sunset will be at 5:19 PM, giving you a good 10 hours of daylight to fish. Yesterday saw some good catches, particularly for bass, catfish, and bowfin. Bass were found schooling in the creeks, chasing baitfish, while catfish were grouping up around deeper bait schools. Anglers reported catching several largemouth bass up to 2.5 pounds, along with a few bowfin up to 8 pounds. For bass, using artificial lures around creek mouths is highly effective. Crickets and worms fished under a bobber can help you catch bluegill and redear sunfish. If you're after catfish, fishing near the bottom in deep holes is your best bet. Some hot spots to consider include the lower Savannah River's backwater oxbows, which are great for bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. The creek mouths and tidal flats are also prime areas, especially around the Wassaw Sound and the Wilmington River for inshore species like Redfish and Trout. If you're looking for a more specific location, try the area near the Bull River Bridge or Tybee Island’s back river for Sheepshead and other inshore favorites. For those venturing into the saltwater, the Savannah Artificial Reef and the J-Buoy are excellent spots for Tuna, Kingfish, and Cobia. Remember to check the local fishing regulations to ensure you're compliant with all the rules.
