あらすじ・解説
As of November 21, 2024, the Savannah River is offering some excellent fishing opportunities, especially with the cooler weather setting in.
### Weather and Tidal Report
Today, you can expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 62°F and a low of 45°F. The winds will be light, coming from the northwest at about 5 mph. Tides are crucial on the Savannah River; today's high tide is at 10:37 AM and the low tide at 4:37 PM. You can check the latest tidal updates on weather.gov.
### Sunrise and Sunset
Sunrise is at 6:53 AM, and sunset will be at 5:14 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to get out on the water.
### Fish Activity
The fish are active, particularly in the backwater oxbows and around submerged structures. For bass, look for them to follow shad into the backs of the creeks and rivers. Use shad-colored crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits to catch them[2][3].
Crappie are gathering around mid-depth brush piles and submerged timber, especially in the creeks in the middle and upper parts of the river. Live minnows or jigs suspended over these areas are your best bet[1][3].
Catfish are moving deeper as the water cools, so drifting in deep water with cut shad or other baitfish can be very effective. They tend to congregate around points and deeper bait schools[1][3].
### Hot Spots
One of the hot spots is around the numerous backwater oxbows in the lower Savannah River. These areas offer good fishing for bass, bream, crappie, and catfish. Another spot is near the Augusta Shoals, where you can find largemouth bass, Bartram’s bass, and smallmouth bass around woody and rocky habitats[2][1].
### Best Lures and Bait
For bass, use shad-colored crankbaits, lipless crankbaits, and spinnerbaits. For crappie, live minnows or jigs are ideal. For catfish, cut shad or other baitfish work well. If you're targeting panfish like bluegill and redear sunfish, live bait or small artificials around fallen trees in the river can be very productive[1][3].
Yesterday's reports indicated several bass in the 2-3 pound range were caught, along with a good number of crappie and catfish. The cooler weather has the fish more active, so it's a great time to get out and enjoy the fishing on the Savannah River.
