 Good mornin', anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Monday fishing update for May 19th on the beautiful Savannah River.

We're lookin' at a gorgeous day ahead with temperatures expected to climb into the upper 80s by afternoon. There's a light easterly breeze around 6-8 mph keeping things comfortable. Sunrise was at 6:22 AM, and we'll have plenty of daylight until sunset at 8:24 PM, giving y'all a nice long day on the water if you can swing it.

Tide-wise, we've got a low tide early afternoon with a high coming in the evening, so plan your spots accordingly. Water clarity is pretty good right now in most areas, with just a touch of stain in the main channel after those thunderstorms we had midweek.

Let me tell you, the redfish bite has been absolutely on fire these past couple weeks! These spot tails are still aggressive around grassy points and creek mouths. They've been hitting mud minnows and cut mullet hard, but if you're throwing artificials like me, gold spoons and scented soft plastics in new penny color are your best bet.

Speckled trout action remains strong too, especially where current sweeps across shell beds and grass edges. Folks have been reporting nice catches of 15-18 inch specks using live shrimp under popping corks, while others are having success with soft plastic jerkbaits in pearl white.

Bass fishing has been solid as we move through May. The herring spawn has been winding down, but bass are still hanging around shallow points. Topwater lures and flukes have been producing, though live herring remain hard to beat if you can get your hands on some.

Striper fishing has been transitioning as the month progresses. Early May found them off the sides of points where herring were spawning, but they're now starting to move toward deeper water. Look for them around trees in 40-50 feet of water.

For you catfish enthusiasts, the channel cat bite is absolutely tremendous right now. They're being caught pretty much everywhere - points, pockets, coves - you name it. Cut herring has been the bait of choice.

Hot spots this week include the creek mouths around Tybee Island for those redfish, the shell banks near Fort Pulaski for speckled trout, and the deeper bends just south of Augusta for those big catfish.

That's all for today, folks! This is Artificial Lure signing off. Tight lines and see y'all on the water!
