Fish species in Pigpen Lakes

Pigpen Lakes sits in Horry County and is classified as a lake; I would pick one short section of bank as the first section and keep fishing it until I learn something from the nearby water. For the opening part of the day, I would keep working one sheltered section of bank until I learn something from the first hour, because moving constantly makes a lake harder to read.

Pigpen Lakes Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

Pigpen Lakes does not have a dependable set of published size and depth measurements, so I would wait until an official lake survey confirms the number before trusting a number and stay around one straightforward shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.

Fish Species and Best Baits

Known fish for Pigpen Lakes include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so I would build the first part of the day around one primary species at one promising shoreline stretch and avoid switching until I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch. If bass are present in Pigpen Lakes, a spinnerbait plus a Texas-rigged plastic gives a practical combination around one manageable section of water; I would change it only when I see a pattern develop in the first area.

A Practical Pigpen Lakes Game Plan

If I were seeing Pigpen Lakes for the first time, I would work one nearby section of water with only a few dependable baits and make the simplest change first after I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment. If I see a pattern develop in the first hour, I would stay around one short section of water on Pigpen Lakes and use that clue on the next similar stretch. After I get a useful answer from the first setup, I would leave Pigpen Lakes knowing that one sheltered part of the lake deserves another look before I start searching somewhere else.
