Crappie

Crappie fishing around Turbeville, South Carolina offers a relaxed and productive experience. Several smaller lakes and ponds in the area hold good populations of both black and white crappie. The key is locating submerged structure like brush piles, fallen trees, and bridge pilings – crappie love to congregate around these areas. Spring is the absolute best time to target crappie, as they move into shallower water to spawn. Look for them in 4-8 feet of water near vegetation. Minnows and small jigs are the go-to baits here. A local trick is to use a crappie nibble on your jig to add extra scent. Access to some of the best crappie spots may require a small boat or kayak, so consider bringing your own or renting one locally. Be mindful of water levels, as they can fluctuate depending on rainfall, and this can affect where the crappie are holding.
