As we step into October, the Savannah River is gearing up for some exciting fishing opportunities. Today, October 1st, the sun rises at 7:23 AM and sets at 7:04 PM, giving us a full day to hit the water.
Weather-wise, we're expecting a mild day with temperatures ranging from the mid-60s to the mid-70s, and a gentle breeze out of the northeast. This should make for comfortable fishing conditions.
Tidal reports indicate a low tide at 9:45 AM and a high tide at 3:45 PM, which is ideal for targeting fish in the backwater oxbows and creek channels.
Fish activity has been picking up, especially with the cooler mornings. Bass, particularly largemouth and spotted bass, are becoming more active as they start to move into shallower waters. Yesterday saw a good number of bass catches, with many anglers reporting success using topwater lures like chrome Gunfish or white Zoom Super Flukes. The bass are also holding in 15 to 20 feet of water around main-lake points and humps, where deep diving crank baits and Carolina rigged worms are effective.
Crappie fishing is also improving, with fish suspended in 10 to 15 feet of water over deeper structures. Spider rigging with live minnows and using small jigs like the Red Rooster Dagger in natural colors have been productive.
Catfish, including channel and blue catfish, are active in deeper slower waters. Cut herring and nightcrawlers are the baits of choice for these bottom dwellers.
For those looking to catch bream, the shallow waters around docks and backwater areas are filled with bluegill and shellcracker. Small jigs and live worms are the way to go.
Hot spots include the backwater oxbows near the city of Savannah and the creek channels around Clarks Hill Lake, which is part of the Savannah River Basin. The Intracoastal Waterway section of the Savannah River is also worth exploring, as it offers a mix of fresh and saltwater species.
Overall, it's a great time to be on the Savannah River, with a variety of fish species active and the weather cooperating. So grab your gear, and let's make the most of this beautiful fall day.
