Crappie
If you're after Crappie near Greenville, SC, you'll want to focus your attention on Lake Cunningham and Lake Robinson. These smaller lakes offer excellent Crappie fishing, particularly around submerged structure and bridge pilings. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target spawning Crappie, as they move into shallower waters. Use live minnows or small jigs under a slip bobber to effectively target these fish. In the summer, look for Crappie suspended in deeper water near brush piles. A practical tip: many local anglers use fish finders to locate schools of Crappie before dropping their lines. Also, be aware that Lake Robinson's water levels can fluctuate, so check conditions before you go to ensure boat ramps are accessible. Remember to consult the SCDNR guidelines for creel limits and size restrictions before your trip.
