    Default Fishing destination lakes and Resort recommendations


    We have a group of guys (4) that would like to travel out of the Midwest and head south. we are from Iowa and not really afraid of the drive.

    just want some places that had cabins/accommodations. good price point would be a plus. we go to Minnesota every year to the same resort for 8 years and love the owners hoping to find something likewise down south with out the trial and error, if that helps LOL


    any links or names would be appreciated!

    Look up Eric Cagle on YouTube or Facebook. Excellent guide on Grenada. And central Alabama lakes. Has lodging available. Cleans fish .if you’re staying multiple days, A lot of times he will cook and entertain. You will not be disappointed. He can handle multiple groups with back up guides.

    no wild goose chase with Cagle. He’s a machine. Here’s a couple of pics of a few of our trips.
