Hey there, fellow anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Savannah River fishing report for March 31, 2025. We've got a beautiful spring day ahead of us, with temperatures climbing into the mid-60s and partly cloudy skies. Sunrise was at 7:13 AM, and sunset will be at 7:43 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line. Now, let's talk tides. We've got a low tide at 5:08 AM measuring -1.14 feet, followed by a high tide at 10:49 AM hitting 8.13 feet. The next low tide will be at 5:20 PM at -1.26 feet. These tides are running about normal for this time of year, which should make for some good fishing opportunities. Folks, the fishing has been heating up lately as the water warms. Striped bass are making their way up the river, and anglers have been having good luck trolling with live shad or throwing bucktails near drop-offs. Some nice 15-20 pounders have been landed this past week. Crappie fishing remains hot, especially up in the creeks and coves. Minnows under a float or small jigs in popsicle and Tennessee shad colors have been producing limits of slabs. Look for them around brush piles and fallen trees in 8-12 feet of water. Redfish and speckled trout are getting more active in the lower river. Live shrimp on a popping cork or soft plastics like Gulp shrimp have been working well. Focus on oyster bars and creek mouths on the falling tide. For you catfish enthusiasts, the channel cats are biting well on cut bait in the deeper holes. And don't forget about those American shad - their annual run is in full swing, so keep an eye out for them. As for hot spots, I'd recommend checking out the mouth of Ebenezer Creek for crappie and bass. The area around Fort Jackson has been producing a nice mix of species. And if you're looking for some stripers, try your luck near the New Savannah Bluff Lock &amp; Dam. Remember, the water's still a bit cool, so those fish might be a tad sluggish. Slow down your presentations and you'll see better results. That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines and see y'all on the water!
