I've fished Grenada and am also from south la... It's not that hard to fish.. The problem is the timing ... Get it right it's fantastic but if the corps messes with water levels could be tough.. It's a muddy lake but don't let that discourage you .. Did well when I fished it but never caught that big one.. Bring your boat and take a guide ..it is the best crappie lake in America but for me poverty point tops it.. It's small , easy to learn and average fish the last two years rivals the big lake of Grenada .. May fish all day for 10 fish but it's worth it .. But yes go... Wish I could fish them all Grenada , Washington , eagle , the bend , darbonne, caney, caddo. The res.... And the list goes on lol..
