# Spring Tide Bite: Reds, Trout, and Stripers on the Savannah Character count: 67 ✓

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure, your go-to Savannah River fishing guru, comin' atcha live from the banks at 3 AM on April 21, 2026. Water's risin' with that incoming tide hittin' peak around 7:30 AM—perfect for pullin' 'em from the shallows—before slacking off till the afternoon flood at 1:45 PM. Weather's mild, upper 70s by midday with light NE winds shiftin' southeast later, low rain chance, and clear skies callin' for sunrise at 6:58 AM and sunset at 8:02 PM. Get out early 'fore it warms up!

Fish are wakin' up good this spring—redfish schools tailin' in the grass flats, speckled trout smashin' topwater on the drop-offs, and stripers pushin' upriver chasin' shad. Recent catches? Locals reportin' limits of 18-25 inch reds, keeper trout up to 4 pounds, and a few slot stripers hittin' 20-30 inches near the bends. Catfish are fat on cut bait too, with some channel cats pushin' 10 pounds.

Best lures right now: gold spoons or paddle tails in chartreuse for reds and specks—work 'em slow on the retrieve. MirrOlure twitchin' mirrs for stripers. Live bait? Finger mullet or shrimp under a floatin' cork can't be beat. Artificials like soft plastics on 1/4 oz jigheads are killin' it in the current.

Hit these hot spots: Ebeneezer Creek for sneaky reds in the timber, or the Highway 25 bridge pilings where trout stack up on the tide change. Launch from Burke County ramp and drift downstream.

Y'all stay safe, check regs, and wear your PFDs. Thanks for tunin' in—subscribe for weekly updates! This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
