Fishing Report (Updated 9.2.2010)

Lake Greenwood is at 439.

Catfish: Good to very good.  Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that the bite remains very strong for good sized channel cats, although some days you have to work to locate them.  Drifting will work but anchoring on secondary points in creeks and in the backs of creeks is more productive.  Shrimp and stink bait are the best baits for quickly filling a cooler.  Using cut bait will produce larger but less frequent fish, and the gar will give you a hard time. 

Bream: Fair to good.  Sportsman's Friend (864-229-7061) reports that fish remain shallow around docks and in the backs of coves.  Fish crickets and worms under a float or on a split shot rig. 

Crappie: Fair. Sportsman's Friend (864-229-7061) reports that crappie have moved deep.  The best bet is fishing around deep brush or deep bridge pilings at night with minnows and jigs. 

Largemouth Bass: Slow to fair. Sportsman's Friend (864-229-7061) reports that the fishing has gotten tough.  There is still scattered schooling across Lake Greenwood, with fair sized striper and largemouth coming up to the top.  Some white bass and white perch are also mixed in.  Fish are feeding on threadfin and small gizzard shad, and the most likely places they will be found are off points and humps, and around the edges of islands - proximate to depth changes.  About halfway back in the creeks is also a good place to look.  In addition to topwater lures, crankbaits and bucktails will also catch schooling fish.  Besides schooling fish, early in the morning a few fish may be found around block walls which cool at night and draw in baitfish.  First thing bass will feed around them, and floating worms and topwater lures will both work.
