Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk about the star of the show – the crappie. These little fighters are a blast to catch and even better to eat. At Clarks Hill Lake, you're likely to run into both black and white crappie, with some real slabs pushing over a pound. These fish love to hang out around structure, so Captain Danny will have you targeting submerged trees, brush piles, and even man-made fish attractors.

Spring is prime time for crappie fishing when they move into shallow water to spawn. That's when you can really load the boat. But don't count out the rest of the year – Captain Danny knows how to find them in deep water during the summer and fall too. These fish have a light bite, so you've got to stay on your toes. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be addicted to that distinctive tap-tap-tap on your line.

Crappie aren't just fun to catch; they're some of the best-eating freshwater fish out there. With flaky white meat and a mild, sweet flavor, they're perfect for a fish fry. And the best part? There's usually no shortage of them, so you can bring home a mess of fish for dinner.

Crappie

Crappie are a blast to target on Clarks Hill Lake. These pan-sized fighters usually run 7-12 inches and hang out near submerged timber, brush piles, and weed edges. We'll find 'em in 5-15 feet of water most days. Spring and fall are prime crappie seasons when they move shallow to spawn and feed. Folks love crappie fishing because it's active and rewarding. We can quickly fill a cooler with tasty fillets. The bite is light, so staying alert is key. When you hook one, it's all about finesse - their paper-thin mouths tear easily. Crappie put up a spirited fight on light tackle. They're also one of the best-eating freshwater fish around. Flaky white meat that's mild and sweet. Here's a local tip: On sunny days, try fishing the shady side of cover. Crappie often tuck into those darker spots. A small jig tipped with a live minnow is tough to beat.
