May dad is retiring on Clarks Hill near McCormick in February and I am trying to find a couple spots for him near his home for crappie. I have tried some spots on the south side of the lake near MODOC, but his home is on the SC Little River more north. Are there any good spots on that side of the lake that are readily known? Little River seems to get really muddy in the winter. Thanks.
In the spring all the area around the mouth of Lone Cane Creek is VERY POPULAR as it should be because it produces limits of nice fish. Little River itself is a great place for crappie, both above and below LC Creek. There is another creek nearby to watch...forget the name of it but the country club golf course borders the creek. Then there's anotehr creek on down towards the mouth of Little River next to the 378 bridge (forget the name of that one too). Your Dad is moving to a great place for some serious crappie fishing. I recommend he pick up a good lake map and start studying it and asking questions about particular creeks along the Savannah River and I'm sure he'll get some specific answers to them.:)
Welcome to the boards!:)
Thanks for the info. We were thinking all the fish were on the south side of the lake. Don't want the old guy to have to make that 30 min trip by boat all the time ;@). We will use the fish finder in these areas and see what we can find. Thanks again.
By the way the posts on defining the images of various fish finders were great.
Long Cane is great and my favorite place to fish. Don't forget about soap creek, buffalo creek or baker creek. There is another but I can't remember it right now. There are so many places that McCormick is close too that you can fish.
Your dad is moving into a great part of the lake for crappie fishing along with the other species of fish. Little River holds some very good crappie year around and with a little map time you can find some great places to fish. With some work placing some brush you can make some awesome places to fish. The Hill has a lot of brush that people has placed for years and most are fishable year round if you find the right depth with brush.
Welcome to the boards and once your dad gets moved in I hope he will join in with us here.
Agree with everyone, McCormick and Lincolnton is probably the best centralized place to live on the lake. With a little time on the water he will be able to figure out those creeks fairly easy. Make sure he is ready for the spring because thats when he will find the most spots, just follow the crowd. Great fisherman in that area that is always willing to help.
Thanks. He just got an IPad for Christmas and is learning how to use it. Hope to have him on soon.
