With the Upstate Boat Show in Greenville this weekend, many crappie anglers can’t wait till warmer weather to get on the lake and catch some crappie.

Residents who live along the water’s edge or anywhere that our state’s resident Canada geese roam have probably noticed the mess and destruction these birds often leave behind. In South Carolina, the hardship is mostly overshadowed by the beauty of the winged creatures as they migrate from place to place, and for waterfowl hunters, as an additional waterfowl hunting opportunity.

With the whitetail deer season in the rearview mirror, many Upstate sportsmen find themselves with ample time and little to do.

The last weeks of December reminded everyone that it can and does get cold during the winter in South Carolina.

Tailrace waters behind the majority of manmade impoundments are rich with baitfish, and fortunately for weather-weary anglers looking to find a good spot out of the wind, game fish are also abundant there.

One of the biggest problems with public duck hunting in the Upstate is an overabundance of people who want to hunt and a limited amount of public water to hunt in.

In any given bow hunting situation, regardless of the amount of time spent preparing, the skill level of the individual, or a host of other outside influences, ask a bow hunter if he’d rather be lucky or good at this sport. The smart ones will choose luck every time.

For wintertime crappie anglers, the period from Thanksgiving to Christmas is a special time.
