Our day started out foggy and 44 degrees. Winds were light and variable all day. Mostly sunny skies and we were at 66 degrees at the 3 pm weigh-in. Water temps were in the high 60’s to low 70’s. The lake was clear but stained in the creeks and up the rivers and the level has dropped to three feet below full pool.

This year Greenwood has been tough to get a limit. We were here in August and only 12 of the 32 anglers weighed fish with no 5 fish limits. Today we had 5 limits but it is still a struggle to find 14 inch bass. The weights are way down as compared to years past. I mention this because today one of our anglers discovered a fish basket with fish in it. His topwater bait snagged the rope that was tied to it. He contacted me and the SCDNR. The fish were released and the metal basket was crushed and destroyed. There are many tournaments on Lake Greenwood this time of year. Hopefully this wasn’t done by one of our anglers but obviously, there are some who would try to win by breaking rules as well as the law.
