Fishing Report (Updated 1.15.2012)

Lake Greenwood is at 435.

Catfish: Fair to good.  Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that drifting is the best way to put quantities of fish in the boat, while anchoring may lead to higher quality fish.  The fish are holding very close and down in the river channel, and the upper half of the lake where the channel ranges from 20-30 feet has been most productive.  Cut herring, gizzard and threadfin shad have been the most effective baits. 

Crappie:  Fair to good.  Sportsman’s Friend (864-229-7061) reports that fishing with minnows in 12-15 feet has been productive.   Anglers are having success trolling and fishing over brush at that depth. 

Largemouth Bass: Fair. Sportsman’s Friend reports that there continues to be scattered schooling activity across Lake Greenwood, with bass, striper, and some other species all mixed together.  Anglers are throwing everything at these fish, including Alabama rigs, small spinners and ice flies.   There is also some action fishing crankbaits and worms off points.
