In Greenville County, Prince Lake is listed as a reservoir; my opening stop would be one straightforward shoreline stretch, and I would stay with it until I learn something from the first adjustment. The first trip does not have to solve everything, so I would keep fishing one easy-to-read section of water until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts before I add more distance or tackle.
Prince Lake Size, Maximum Depth and Volume
Exact size and depth measurements are sparse for Prince Lake, so I would leave the figures unstated until a trustworthy source publishes a defensible number and use one manageable section of water until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water.
Fish Species and Best Baits
The available fish information for Prince Lake includes Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Largemouth Bass, so my opening plan would use one clear target around one nearby part of the lake and hold there until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. A compact spinnerbait, crankbait, and Texas-rigged plastic cover the basic bass approaches around one short part of the lake on Prince Lake; I would stay with them until I see a pattern develop in the first area.
A Practical Prince Lake Game Plan
For a first trip to Prince Lake, I would fish one sheltered part of the lake long enough to judge the plan, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment. After I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would give one straightforward starting zone more time on Prince Lake instead of immediately looking elsewhere. Once I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would remember what worked around one promising starting zone and begin the next trip to Prince Lake with that same clue.
