Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:26 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.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Greenville

The Greenville, South Carolina fishing scene is built around a network of big reservoirs and cool, fast-flowing rivers in the Blue Ridge foothills. Within an hour of downtown, anglers can work deep, clear lakes like Hartwell, Keowee, and Jocassee for bass, stripers, and trout, or slide into the upper Saluda and mountain streams for classic Upstate trout fishing. This variety makes Greenville a year-round base for freshwater anglers who like to adjust tactics with the seasons.

Seasonal patterns drive success around Greenville. In late winter and early spring, prespawn largemouth and spotted bass stage on main-lake points and the first secondary points in coves on Hartwell and Keowee. Slow-roll medium diving crankbaits, 3/8–1/2 oz lipless cranks, and football jigs along chunk rock and red clay transitions. As water hits the mid-60s, bass push shallow to wood, docks, and emerging grass; weightless soft jerkbaits, wacky-rigged worms, and compact jigs excel around visible cover.

Summer on Hartwell and Keowee is about the offshore bite and schooling fish. Look for spotted bass and stripers grouped on humps, channel swings, and long tapering points in 20–40 feet. Use sonar to find bait clouds, then drop shot finesse worms, vertically jig spoons, or work flutter spoons through the marks. Early and late in the day, keep a walking topwater or small pencil popper ready for breaking schools chasing blueback herring. Night fishing around lighted docks with small swimbaits or shaky heads is a reliable warm-weather pattern for spots and crappie.

Lake Jocassee fishes differently thanks to its depth and clarity. Trout and deep smallmouth key on steep rock walls, river channel edges, and long points. In spring and fall, troll small spoons or minnow plugs 20–60 feet down, targeting temperature breaks and bait balls. In summer, downriggers and lead-core lines let you reach suspended trout; pay attention to electronics and adjust depth constantly. Jigging 1/2–3/4 oz spoons on deep points and saddles is a good way to contact both trout and smallmouth when fish are pinned near structure.

Trout anglers near Greenville can work the North and South Saluda River and nearby mountain streams. In spring and fall, drifting small live baits, single eggs, or 1/16 oz inline spinners through riffle-run-pool sequences is productive. Fly anglers do well with size 14–18 nymphs under an indicator in the deeper runs and pocket water; switch to small parachute dries when you see surface activity, especially on overcast days. In low, clear summer water, downsize tippet, lengthen leaders, and focus on shaded banks and undercut roots during first and last light.

Catfish and panfish round out the Greenville fishery. On Hartwell and Keowee, target channel and blue catfish on main river ledges, channel bends, and wind-blown points using cut shad, herring, or chicken-based baits on slip-sinker rigs. Night setups with rods spread across multiple depths often outperform daytime efforts. Bluegill and redear sunfish hang around docks, laydowns, and gravel banks on all the area lakes; small crickets, worms, or 1/32–1/16 oz jigs fished under a float are consistent producers and perfect for introducing new anglers to Greenville’s waters.
