Fishing Report (Updated 6.21.2009)

Lake Greenwood is at 99% of full pool.

Catfish: Very good.  Captain Chris Simpson reports that the channel catfish bite is very good.  The larger fish in the 8 to 12 pound range are spawning but excellent numbers of 1 to 7 pound fish are being caught.  Drift long creek runs and big shallow flats in 4 to 12 feet of water with fresh shrimp or cut threadfin shad. 

Bream: Very good.  The bluegill and shellcracker bite has gotten even better, and most of the bluegill are in protected coves in 2 to 3 feet of water.  Crickets and red worms will both work and inline spinners have also been productive.  The shellcrackers have backed off to slightly deeper water but can still be caught. 

Largemouth bass: Good.  Bass have moved into a summer pattern, and early in the morning topwater lures are working.  During the day shakey head worms fished off of points are working, and some smaller fish are hanging around docks. 

Striped Bass: Fair.  Schooling activity is being reported around the state park.  Downlines fished around the dam are also working. 

Crappie: No reports.   

No DHEC fish advisories.
