Crappie

Crappie anglers visiting Greer, South Carolina, should definitely explore Lake Cunningham and Lake Robinson. These lakes offer excellent crappie fishing, particularly in the spring when they move into shallow coves and around submerged structure to spawn. Minnows and small jigs are the standard baits, and you'll want to fish them around brush piles, fallen trees, and docks. A local tactic is to use a slip bobber rig to present your bait at the right depth. Fall can also be productive as the crappie school up before winter. Lake Robinson can get crowded, especially on weekends, so consider fishing during the week if possible. The crappie here are generally good size, with many reaching 10-12 inches, and occasionally larger. Check the local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on crappie activity and preferred depths.
