Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:58 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    389,215 km
    Proximity:
    38.7 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Greenville

Greenville, SC fishing centers on a mix of big reservoirs, cold mountain lakes, and river systems that keep rods bent year-round. Within an hour of downtown you’ve got Lake Hartwell, Lake Keowee, Lake Jocassee, plus the Saluda and Enoree river drainages, each with its own flavor and pattern. Planning around season, water temperature, and water clarity is the key to consistent success.

Spring is prime time across Greenville-area lakes. Largemouth and spotted bass push shallow on Hartwell, Keowee, and the smaller municipal lakes. Look for fish staging on secondary points, creek-channel swings, and riprap banks when water is in the mid‑50s, then sliding to flats, pockets, and protected coves as it nears 60–65°F. Productive baits include:

  • Shad‑pattern crankbaits and lipless cranks around points and drains
  • Green pumpkin or watermelon soft-plastic worms and creature baits on Texas or shaky heads
  • Finesse swimbaits and underspins for spotted bass on Keowee’s clear water

Crappie stack up on brush piles, bridge pilings, and dock edges in March–April. Slow-trolling (long‑lining) 1/16–1/32 oz jigs or tightlining minnows over creek channels is deadly on Hartwell and nearby reservoirs. Bluegill and shellcracker (redear) follow with a strong shallow bite as dogwoods bloom; crickets and small worms under a float along shoreline grass and laydowns are simple, effective options for numbers.

In summer, the pattern shifts deeper. On Hartwell and Keowee, bass and stripers set up on offshore humps, ledges, and river-channel drops. Use your electronics to find bait, then:

  • Vertical jig spoons or drop-shots in 20–40 feet
  • Drag Carolina rigs on long points
  • Downline live herring for striped and hybrid bass on main-lake points and timber edges

Night fishing is highly productive in the heat. Work lighted docks with shaky heads, wacky rigs, or small jigs for spotted bass. Catfish anglers do well drifting cut bait or anchoring on channel ledges after dark on larger reservoirs, especially where the river channel swings close to flats.

Fall brings baitfish shallow and fires up a power-fishing bite. Watch for schooling activity on main-lake pockets and in the mouths of creeks; keep a topwater walking bait, small swimbait, and chrome lipless crank ready. Cover water quickly, focusing on windblown banks and points. Crappie reposition to mid‑depth brush (15–25 feet); vertical jigging directly over brush with small plastics is efficient and keeps you on active fish.

Greenville’s proximity to the mountains adds a unique trout dimension. Lake Jocassee and the upper Saluda-system streams offer rainbow, brown, and brook trout opportunities. On Jocassee, target steep bluff walls, creek inlets, and the lower-lake basin with long‑line trolling or lead‑core setups pulling small spoons and minnow plugs. In streams, focus on current seams, plunge pools, and undercut banks; small spinners, soft hackle nymphs, and drifted eggs or worms excel, especially during cooler months.

Winter concentrates fish and rewards slow, methodical presentations. Bass and spotted bass group tightly on vertical structure—bluff ends, timber edges, and deep docks. Jigs, blade baits, and finesse drop‑shots fished painfully slow near the bottom draw strikes. Stripers on Hartwell roam channels under winter bait schools; watch your sonar for arcs under dense bait balls and drop live bait or jigging spoons accordingly.

Across all Greenville waters, success hinges on reading water color and clarity. Downsize line and finesse your approach on ultra‑clear lakes like Jocassee and Keowee; heavier line and power tactics play better on stained sections of Hartwell and river-fed arms. Use wind, bait presence, and depth changes as your primary clues, and adjust lure size and speed to match the mood of the fish.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Greenville area

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.
