Fourhour crappie fishing trips on Clarks Hill LakeCaptain Danny Kimble provides experienced professional guiding servicesSmall groups with maximum three guests per trip
Looking for some serious crappie action on one of Georgia's premier fishing destinations? Captain Danny Kimble's four-hour crappie trips on Clarks Hill Lake are exactly what you need. This isn't just another fishing charter - Danny's built his reputation by consistently putting slabs in the boat while showing you why this 71,000-acre reservoir is a crappie angler's dream come true.
Your day starts with Captain Danny breaking down the game plan based on current conditions and seasonal patterns. These four-hour trips are perfectly timed to hit the prime feeding windows when crappie are most active. Danny's spent years studying Clarks Hill's structure and knows exactly where the fish are holding at different times of year. You'll be fishing some of the lake's most productive spots - submerged timber, brush piles, and creek channels that hold massive schools of hungry crappie. The boat accommodates up to three anglers, so whether you're bringing the family or a couple buddies, everyone gets plenty of action. Danny provides all the tackle and knows exactly what these fish want, from live minnows to small jigs that trigger aggressive strikes.
Captain Danny employs a variety of crappie techniques depending on the season and fish behavior. During spring spawning, you'll be working shallow water structure and protected coves where crappie move in to bed. Summer means targeting deeper structure - old roadbeds, creek channels, and standing timber where schools suspend in the thermocline. Danny's got the electronics to mark fish and the local knowledge to put you on productive water fast. He'll have you vertical jigging over brush piles, slow-trolling along creek channels, or casting small jigs to visible structure. The key is reading the fish's mood and adjusting tactics accordingly. Clarks Hill's clear water and abundant structure create perfect crappie habitat, and Danny knows how to work every piece of cover to maximize your catch.

Clarks Hill Lake crappie are the stuff of legend among serious panfish anglers. These slab-sided fighters average 10-14 inches with plenty of fish pushing into trophy territory at 15+ inches and over two pounds. Spring brings the most consistent action as crappie move shallow to spawn, typically from March through May when water temperatures hit the magic 60-65 degree range. Summer fishing means targeting deeper structure where schools suspend, often 15-25 feet down over much deeper water. Fall sees another hot bite as crappie feed heavily before winter, chasing shad in creek arms and around points. What makes Clarks Hill crappie special is their size and fight - the lake's abundant forage base of threadfin shad keeps these fish fat and healthy. When you hook into a Clarks Hill slab, you'll feel that distinctive headshaking fight as they try to wrap you around cover. The lake holds both black and white crappie, with whites typically running larger and blacks offering more consistent numbers. These fish are not only fun to catch but make excellent table fare, with sweet, flaky meat that's perfect for the frying pan.
