Savannah River Fishing Report: Bream Bite Sizzles, Reds and Trout Reward Patient Anglers
Artificial Lure here with your Savannah River, Georgia and South Carolina fishing report for Wednesday, November 26, 2025.
The morning greeted us with clear skies and a sunrise peeking over the live oaks right at 7:03 am, with sunset set for 5:20 pm. It’s a classic chilly November morning on the river, and high pressure’s been hanging around, making for calmer winds out of the southwest at 5 to 10 knots and seas out in the bays at a modest 2 to 3 feet, as confirmed by the National Weather Service. It’s one of those honest fall days where your breath steams on that first cast and the river seems to glow around sunup.
Tidewise, folks at Tides4Fishing report today started out with a low at 6:02 am, then a nice midday high rolling in at 12:35 pm around 7.8 feet, falling again by evening to a minor low at 6:55 pm. With that solunar table showing low fish activity, I’d make the most of that late-morning push and mid-afternoon slack.
The recent cold snap followed by this week's bit of warmth has the fish riled up and biting everywhere. Shane over at the Waycross Journal-Herald says the panfish action downriver is “off the chain,” and Tyler Finch landed 108 bluegill and shellcrackers in the lower Savannah over two days using a 3/16 oz white Perch Hounder spinnerbait tipped with a cricket—so you know the bream bite’s still hot. Crickets, worms, and beetle spins are still your go-to for panfish. Cover near brush piles, eddies, and blowdowns.
Moving downstream towards the brackish stretches near the Port and Thunderbolt, redfish and trout continue to reward a patient angler. According to Savannah River Fishing Report Today, stripers and cats are also putting up dependable runs around the shipyards and deep holes. For trout, popping corks with live shrimp or white curly tail grubs are putting numbers in the boat, while reds are hammering soft plastics in electric chicken and chartreuse. Sheepshead are showing up in good numbers around bridge pylons and rock jetties—fiddler crabs are your best bet there.
Upstream, the bite on largemouth and spotted bass is solid where the river arms slow, especially on slow-rolled spinnerbaits and chartreuse crankbaits. With the river a little low, stick to the outside bends and deeper runs, and watch out for snags in the skinny water.
A couple hot spots you’ll want to try:
- The cut below Hutchinson Island, where stripers are feeding heavy on shad at the edges of moving tides.
- The marsh mouth at Turner’s Creek, where trout and slot reds hold tight to drop-offs and oyster beds.
Baitwise, if you’re not chasing bream with crickets, bring live shrimp, mud minnows, or small menhaden for inshore game. For artificial fans, you can’t go wrong with a white paddle tail or a gold spoon on the outgoing.
All in all, it’s a stellar week for Savannah River fishermen—just bundle up and mind the boat ramps, as the river’s a touch low. Fish currents, work the tides, and as always, respect local limits.
