Crappie

Greenwood Lake holds a healthy population of crappie, providing anglers with excellent panfishing opportunities. These tasty fish can be found around submerged structure, docks, and weed beds, especially in the shallower coves. Spring and early summer, during the spawning season, are the prime times to target crappie. Small jigs, minnows, and tube baits fished under a bobber are effective presentations. A key to success on Greenwood Lake is to locate submerged brush piles or fallen trees, as crappie often congregate around these areas. Many local anglers have success fishing near the docks along the eastern shore, particularly those with lights that attract baitfish at night. Be mindful of boat traffic, especially on weekends, and consider fishing during the week or at dawn and dusk for a quieter and more productive experience. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits.
