Welcome to the board crappie man.I used to live right near by you there.I went to the tamassee DAR boarding school for a year when I was boy.I spent a lot of time swimming in keowee but never fishing.I have tried jocassee but not for crappie yet.My wife and I take the kids down there and camp on the other side from the park every year.Anyway let us know how you do and good luck....E.

Just started fishing about a year ago myself. Like you said keowee has some slabs in it. My nephew caught one over two pounds one night. But I have yet to catch more than 4 or 5 at one time. I have not went much so still working on finding the right spots. I have gotton some advice from this board to give stamp creek a try. This spring I plan on wearing my truck out hauling my boat to the lake. Any success I have on some good spots I'll let you guys know.

Folks have told me also that the wooden trussel bridge is a good place at stamp creek. I also hear that around cane creek is some good crappie fishing in the spring.

has anyone tried to do any nightstalking one keowee or jocassee? im not very well hip to day time jiggin for crappie but we catch our fair share at night under the lights. That might be something you might wanna look at trying for keowee to see how the bite goes.

The times I tried for crappie was at night. Just haven't got enough boat time in to tune in some good spots. Where I have had a little success they where slabs, just not many. I may have only need to move 30 feet from where I was at to really get into them. But I always have fun. I'll get it figured out this year.The only place I have tried is at the mouth of Eastatoe creek. I seen a couple boats fishing there as it was getting dark one time is the only reason I statred out trying that spot.
