Fishing Report (Updated 2.4.2010)

Lake Greenwood is at 99.9% of full pool and water is stained to muddy and cold

Crappie: Fair.  Guide Rod Wall reports that fish are being found in the creeks about 15-20 feet deep, and a foot or two off the bottom.  It is a very slow, lethargic bite and darker colored jigs tipped with minnows are most visible in the stained water. 

Catfish: Fair.  Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that a few channel catfish are being caught by drifting, but anchoring on the channel ledges is producing more fish right now. The channel cats don’t appear to be very aggressive and so a still presentation is working best.  Anchor where you can place baits up in the shallows as well as all the way down in the channel. Cut herring, gizzard shad and white perch will all work. 

Striped and Largemouth Bass: Slow.  Stanley Gunter of the 2009 SC Champion Greenwood Bassmasters reports that the bite is really tough and he wouldn’t be surprised if only a couple of fish are caught in his club’s tournament this weekend.  There are reports of a few bass being picked up on Shad Raps and jigging spoons but no pattern is hot.
