Crappie

If you're looking for crappie in the Cross Hill area of South Carolina, Lake Greenwood is a great place to start. This lake is known for its abundant crappie population, and you'll find them in a variety of habitats. Spring is the peak season, as crappie move into the shallows to spawn, often congregating around submerged brush piles, docks, and fallen trees. During the warmer months, they tend to move deeper, holding near structure in the main lake. Minnows are a classic crappie bait, but jigs can also be very effective, especially when tipped with a crappie nibble. A practical tip: The upper reaches of the lake, where the Saluda River flows in, can be particularly productive in the spring. The Twitchell Landing boat ramp provides good access to this area. Keep an eye on your depth finder, as finding submerged structure is key to locating crappie.
