Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:22 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 Greenwood

Lake Greenwood fishing near Greenwood, South Carolina revolves around a classic Piedmont reservoir layout—long, meandering creek arms, a defined river channel, and a mix of rocky banks, red clay, docks, and mid‑lake humps. This diversity of habitat keeps fish shallow somewhere almost every month, making Greenwood a reliable destination for anglers targeting bass, crappie, catfish and panfish.

Seasonal patterns are key. In late winter and early spring, bass and crappie stage along channel swings, secondary points and deeper docks in the big creeks like Reedy and Saluda. Slowly worked crankbaits, suspending jerkbaits, and finesse jigs around 8–15 feet are consistent for pre‑spawn largemouth. Crappie anglers do well spider‑rigging or tight‑lining small minnows and 1/16‑oz jigs just off the first major drop outside spawning coves. As water temps push into the 60s, both species move shallow; pitch wacky‑rigged worms and small creature baits to shoreline cover and docks for bass, and float small tube jigs or minnows 2–4 feet deep along pea gravel banks and brush.

Summer on Lake Greenwood is about current, shade and oxygen. When power generation increases flow on the main Saluda channel, striped and hybrid striped bass set up on points, humps and channel edges. Watch your electronics for bait schools and work the area with downlines, live shad, or vertically jigged spoons. Largemouth and spots slide to deeper brush piles, dock posts at the ends of piers, and offshore structure in 15–25 feet; deep‑diving crankbaits, football jigs, and Carolina rigs dragged slowly along the bottom excel. Night fishing is productive in the heat—slow roll big spinnerbaits or swim jigs around lighted docks, and anchor with cut bait or live bream for channel and flathead catfish along channel ledges.

Fall brings baitfish shallow again. Bass and hybrids chase shad in the pockets and over flats; keep a topwater walking bait, small lipless crankbait, and underspin ready to fire into surface activity. Work wind‑blown banks and the backs of creeks where shad are dimpling the surface. Crappie pull back to brush piles and stake beds in 10–18 feet—vertical jig small plastics in natural shad or chartreuse tones directly into cover for fast action. Bluegill and redear group on remaining shallow structure and dock walkways; light line, small hooks, and crickets or worms are all you need.

During winter, bass and panfish consolidate around deeper structure on the lower half of the lake where the water stays a bit more stable. Slowly work jigging spoons, blade baits and underspins along the river channel and main‑lake points, using your sonar to stay with bait and fish. Crappie gang up over deeper brush at the mouths of creeks, often suspended 10–15 feet down over 20–30 feet of water—count‑down jigs or use slip floats to keep baits in the strike zone. Cold‑water catfish remain very catchable using cut shad or herring fished on Carolina rigs along river bends and deeper flats adjacent to the channel.

  • Focus on creek channel swings that touch shallow flats—prime transition spots in every season.
  • Fish docks thoroughly: target front posts, walkways, and any visible brush, especially during post‑spawn and summer.
  • Use electronics to mark brush piles and offshore structure; Greenwood’s better fish see consistent pressure and hold to subtle features.
  • Adjust color to water clarity: natural shad and green pumpkin in clearer lower‑lake water, chartreuse and darker silhouettes in the more stained upper arms.

With predictable seasonal movements and varied structure, Greenwood offers consistent patterns for anyone willing to adapt baits and depth to changing conditions.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
