Crappie

Crappie fishing around Latta, SC, is best experienced on Lake Paul Wallace. This lake provides ample habitat for crappie to flourish. Spring is the premier time, as the fish move into the shallows to spawn. Target areas around submerged brush, docks, and fallen timber with minnows or jigs suspended under a bobber. Early morning and late afternoon are often the most productive times. A helpful tip: pay attention to water clarity; if the water is murky, use brighter colored jigs. Lake Paul Wallace has multiple boat ramps and fishing piers for easy access. The crappie here are known to school tightly, so once you find them, you can often catch several in the same spot.
