Guys I need some help. My wife and I are taking a vacation either the 1st or 2nd week in march. I am hoping and praying the crappie will be biting then. Not sure which week would be the best but I hope to catch them at the right time when they are doing some spawning.
Heres the problem. We live in Dallas, GA and its a 2hr 109mile ride for us to get to Sugar creek boat ramp which is the closest one to us. So we are trying to find a place to stay 3 or 4 nights. I have checked out hotels in Madison and the rates are not that bad but my only concern is if I catch fish and stay at a hotel for a few nights I have no way to freeze my filets without a decent freezer. Only thing I could do is ice them down really well.
Also have checked on the vrbo.com website for home rentals and I don't mind paying a little for a place to stay but goodness some of these places are $1000 a night! So a home rental is out of the question.
Do you guys know if any of the campgrounds are open this time of the year? I believe Old Salem and Lawrence Shoals are closed until Memorial day weekend. Would like something on the water so I could launch my boat and leave it in the water until I am ready to go home.
Any suggestions appreciated.
