Lake Greenwood Fishing Report
March 6, 2024
Here is the latest fishing report for Lake Greenwood as provided by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.
Bass: Veteran tournament angler Stan Gunter of Greenwood reports that typically April is a bigger spawning month than March on Lake Greenwood, although this month there could be some fish on beds. Overall, the primary pattern in March is typically targeting pre-spawn bass which are staging around points and shallow cover adjacent to spawning pockets. They like to gravitate towards brush or docks, and jigs, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, worms, or soft plastics will all catch fish.
Striped bass: Guide Josh Wilson (864-871-6305) reports that during March most of the striper should move shallow into the creeks following bait. Pulling free-lines, planer boards and umbrella rigs will all catch fish, and crappie fishermen trolling jigs will also catch plenty.
Crappie: Captain Roland Addy (864-980-3672) reports that by the end of February the crappie had already started to bite better, and in March fish should move into the creeks. Long-line trolling in the creeks with jigs and jigs tipped with minnows should be very effective. Some fish may be up against the banks, but usually this bite is strongest in April.
Catfish: Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that drifting cut herring, shad or white perch in mid-depths should again be the best pattern in March.
