My Favorite Fishing Spots in Spartanburg, SC

I was raised on a fishing pond. For as long as I can remember my dad has always fished and always had me there right along with him. In my 23 years of living I have cat fished and carp fished. I find it very relaxing and awesomely fun.

My number one favorite place to fish is Sportsman Lake is Cowpens, SC. It is located at 184 Wallace Rd in Cowpens, SC. This lake is a carp fishing lake. There are also catfish in this pond, but it is mostly carp that you would be catching. There is a charge to fish, which changes from day to day. Also, there is jackpots that you can win for catching the largest and smallest fish of the day. It is a great place with alot of friendly people so that's why it's my number one favorite.

My second favorite place to fish is a lake in Spartanburg County off of Airport Rd. It doesn't have a name and it doesn't cost to fish, but it is very relaxing. There are also catfish and carp in this lake as well. I've went to this lake since I was a child which is why it's one of my favorites.

Another great place to fish at is Johnson Lake which is also located in Spartanburg County off of Southport Rd. This is a favorite of mine because the lake has picnic tables and large grassy areas for children to play. It's a great place to have a cookout at and have fun with the family. Small fishing boats are allowed on this lake, although I'm not sure if you have to have a fishing license.

Mudd Creek lake in Inman, SC, located off of Mudd Creek Rd. is also a favorite of mine. I've went to this lake since I was a child. My father used to take me and my cousins there when we were small. It is a very muddy lake but there are lots of fish in this lake and there is no charge for fishing.

Last but not least would be the Pacolet River. In Pacolet, SC there is a bridge that goes over the river and people fish from this bridge. It's so relaxing sitting down and hanging your feet off the bridge and casting a reel out into the water. I'm not quite posittive that there's alot of fish in the Pacolet River, but it's an amazing feeling of relaxation.

Any time you would like to go fishing, or you would like to take you family, keep in mind these wonderful lakes and rivers I have told you about. I love to fish and have grew up in a "fishing" family so I have a pretty good idea as to what fishermen like. I hope you take my suggestions into consideration.
