Thread: Grand Lake today

Hey Mojorig, Do you have any current information on the condition of the crappie fishery in Lake Nimrod? Who would be the best biologist to contact and talk to about this?

Thanks,

Dave

Jeremy,

Yes, that was me you interviewed a while back on Lake Monticello. Thanks very very much for the clarification on what's happening at Grand Lake. So many fishermen have the wrong idea about the management of the lake and I have heard all the false rumors myself. Hopefully you have set the record straight. I have actually heard people say that the crappie population in Grand was very minimal at best and not worth fishing. They just either haven't been there on a good day or weren't using the correct technique. As I said before, it is truly one of the best crappie lakes in the world and has been for a long time. I worked in Eudora this afternoon and just had to swing by the lake for a little scouting report.....saw a lot of large-size crappie coming out of there......needless to say I will be there at daylight in the morning. If the water is rough I plan to power-troll crankbaits.....otherwise I will spider-rig with jigs.

Thanks for the information on Grand lake Jeremy, some good info. Please feel free to post and give us info regarding other lakes and your opinions on the fishing in SeArk. And posts your fishing trips and reports also. Welcome to the site, from Monticello.

Thanks all, I will check in from time to time, so feel free to ask questions that you might have related to crappie or AGFC and if I can't answer them I will get you the answer from someone who knows.

L.A. stumpjumper,

I ran into you one day at Morgan Point but didn't get to say hello because the guy I was with was ready to go fishing.

As for fishing pics, I am one of those anglers that some of you guys might not like. I am a bass tournament fisherman but I enjoy hearing from all type of anglers in the area so that is why I came on here. Also, I would like to talk to you sometime about Cane Creek Lake. It is very difficult for us to sample that lake so we have to rely on angler input for that lake.

Man we would love to have a wildlife agent willing to work with local fisherman and share info.with us.Keep up the good work.....Tknight

Hey Jeremy, I used to be one of those bass tournament fisherman. But with age the crappie have come more appealing to me, much more relaxing fishing, and some mighty fine eating too. Anytime you see me out just holler at me, I'll tell you what I can about Cane Creek. It is my favorite fall fishing hole, to me it is a special lake with some special crappie in it. Look forward to meeting you on the water.
