I’m told Lake Greenwood (in South Carolina) is an awesome place to crappie fish. Do you think I should spend my time to go there and fish, and if so, do you have any tips?
Lake Greenwood is widely accepted as being one of the best crappie fishing locations in the whole state of South Carolina. It is an 11,400 acre lake, with plenty of public access and local amenities which make it an ideal location for day trips, outings, or even family vacations. April is a good month if you want to go dock fishing, because the spawn begins in March and continues into April, and the structure areas are a good place to find the fish at this time. Whenever the water gets to about 60 degrees, the crappie tend to move in to the coves getting set for the spawn, so in the early spawn seasons, fish the cove and back creek areas. If you spot a deck area with lots of signs like minnow buckets and rod holders, take this as a cue that the fish are present in the structure the dock area provides and follow suit accordingly. If you want to fish upper Lake Greenwood, up above the highway 72 area, try out Mary and Judy’s Landing, Skipper’s Landing, Cane Creek Landing, and Moon’s Landing. Check out the West Side Fishing Access, if you want to fish Lake Greenwood’s bottom, but if you are in a position to fish the top or the bottom, check out Leader’s Fishing Village Landing.
I AM REALLY LOOKIN FOR LOCAL GUYS THAT DO THE SAME KIND OF FISHIN AS MYSELF!!! I ENJOY FISHING WITH MY ONE OR 2 MAN BOAT AND USING ONLY A TROLLING MOTOR.
PLUS THE FACT YOU CAN GET WHERE THE LARGER BOATS CANT REACH. I ALSO HAVE FOUND PROPER TECHNIQUES…TO BUILD MY OWN PLYWOOD BOATS.
I AM ALSO GOINGN TO BUILD SOME STRIP BOATS.
SEE I AM NOT A GOOD FISHERMAN!! I ONLY BEGAN FISHING AVIDLY IN THE PAST 2 YRS. MY INJURIES I REC’D IN IRAQ FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH ME. SO OUT OF BOREDOM I BEGAN FISHIN.
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO CATCH A MESS OF CRAPPIE!!! I LOVE IT!!! BLUEGILL, BASS, BREAM, CRAPPIE, CATFISH…I LOVE THEM ALL.
I RARELY KEEP ANY FISH. JUST ENOUGH TO SATISFY MYSELF AND THAT IS IT. IF ANYONE HAS ANY TIPS, LOCATIONS…ANYTHING THAT COULD MAKE ME MORE SUCCESSFUL I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.
NOW I AM ON THE HUNT FOR CRAPPIE!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY
Dan thnaks for the plug for Lake Greenwood in SC. I am the webmaster for Moon Landing RV Park & Marina and I can tell you the lake is full of crappie!Moon Landing is a great place to fish! Even though it is a very popular lake it’s not crowded so not too much in the way of interference from jet skis and speed boats stirring up the water. I live in the campground year round and anytime of the year is good fishing of some kind. I’m not an expert like yourself but I grew up here and my daddy was a dedicated fisherman, he used to take me fishing a lot. He also made custom turkey calls. A lot of your readers are probably hunters too so they will recognize the name Neil Cost. The Stradivarius Of Turkey Call Makers. Take care and I’ll check back in from time to time and see what you are up to.
