Hey y'all, Artificial Lure here with your Savannah River fishing report for March 15, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been hotter than a firecracker lately!

First off, tides are looking good today. We've got a low tide at 5:23 AM measuring -0.49 feet, followed by a high at 11:24 AM hitting 6.6 feet. Sunrise was at 7:33 AM and sunset will be at 7:31 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet a line.

Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies with temps in the mid-60s. Perfect conditions for some spring fishing, if you ask me.

Now, onto the good stuff - the fish! Folks have been hauling in some nice catches this past week. The striped bass run is in full swing, with several 20+ pounders reported. Crappie fishing has been on fire too, especially up in the backwaters. I heard tell of one fella who landed over 30 slabs in a single morning!

For you bass anglers, both largemouth and spotted bass have been active. They're starting to move shallow with the warming water temps. A few 5+ pound bucketmouths have been caught near laydowns and docks.

If you're looking to fill the cooler, the catfish bite has been steady. Channel cats and some hefty blues are hitting cut bait and stinkbaits.

As for lures, you can't go wrong with a chartreuse spinnerbait for the stripers. For bass, try pitching a jig around cover or working a shaky head worm along points. Crappie are loving small jigs tipped with minnows.

Live bait's always a good bet this time of year. Shiners, herring, and nightcrawlers will all produce.

For you folks wanting some hot spots, I'd recommend trying around the Highway 301 bridge or up near the Augusta Shoals. The creek mouths have been producing well too, especially Brier Creek and Stevens Creek.

Remember, the fish are hungry and ready to bite. So get out there, wet a line, and make some memories. This is Artificial Lure signing off - tight lines, y'all!
