Trip Overview

This 6-hour fishing charter is designed specifically for targeting crappie, known locally as “slabs” for their size and abundance. Clark’s Hill Lake (also known as Lake Strom Thurmond) provides year-round opportunities for catching very nice sized Crappie, with peak seasons offering consistent action. All fishing gear is provided, including rods, reels, bait, and tackle.

How We Hook 'Em

Alright, let's talk tactics. We'll be using a mix of techniques depending on where those crappie are hanging out. Some days it's all about slow-trolling with multiple poles, other times we might be vertical jigging. I've got a bunch of tricks up my sleeve and we know just about every brush pile in this lake. We'll be using light tackle - usually 6-8 pound test line with small jigs or minnows. And here's a pro tip: keep an eye on your rod tip. Crappie bites can be subtle, but once you feel that thump, it's game on! Don't worry if you're new to this - I'll walk you through every step, from casting to setting the hook.

What Folks Are Saying

Don't just take my word for it - here's what some happy anglers have to say:

"James really knows how to catch crappie. We fished for two days and loaded the coolers. I would give him a 5 out of 5 stars. You will not regret booking a charter with him. Definitely coming back soon!" - Ben

"Captain James is great put fish in the boat and had a blast 4 sure coming back" - Marcuis

"Best crappie guide in the state! James is very knowledgeable and professional and a great guy! We will be booking again! If you want to catch crappies, can't beat James!" - Bart

Crappie: The Star of the Show

Let's talk about our target species - the crappie. These little fighters are pound-for-pound some of the most fun fish you can catch. We've got both crappie in Clark's Hill Lake, and they can grow to be very good sized for the species. A good-sized crappie here is anything over a pound, but don't be surprised if we land some 2-pounders or even bigger!

Crappie are schooling fish, so when we find 'em, we usually find a bunch. They love to hang around structure - think submerged trees, brush piles, and dock pilings. In the spring, they move to shallow water to spawn, making them easier to target. But even in the summer and fall, we can still find them - they just move a bit deeper.

One of the coolest things about crappie is their fight. They might not pull like a bass, but they've got this unique side-to-side head shake that'll keep you on your toes. And let's not forget - they're are some of the best fish to eat around. There's nothing quite like a plate of fresh fried crappie after a day on the water.

Why Anglers Can't Get Enough

You might be wondering, "What makes this trip so special?" Well, let me tell you - it's not just about the fish (though we catch plenty of those). It's about the whole experience. You'll be out on one of the most beautiful lakes in Georgia, surrounded by nice shorelines and rolling hills. The peace and quiet out here is something else.

But more than that, it's about the memories you'll make. We have seen families bond over a shared catch, friends getting competitive, and solo anglers having a blast out on the water. Plus, you're not just going fishing - you're learning. I love sharing tips and tricks that'll make you a better angler, whether it's how to read the fish finder, the best knots to tie, or how to present your bait just right. By the end of the day, you'll have new skills to take with you on your next fishing adventure.
