Sounds like we need to make a road trip Bruce!

I fished Grenada for the first time in October; it's unreal how rough that lake gets with just a 10-15 mph wind. I'll be back there next March and the lake should be back up higher than it is in the fall; they draw it down for the winter and spring rains. When the lake is up some there are several ramps available and most times you should be able to launch and fish somewhere regardless of wind direction. There are several guides for Grenada; one of my neighbors used Grenada Lake Crappie Guides and was pleased. Lake Washington is also a good lake but not known for as many trophy size crappie; it's much easier to fish.

On another note; this pic is why some Mississippi lakes are so well known as great crappie lakes. They've had restrictions and are increasing them. I'm not advocating Louisiana duplicate this but I wish they would do something to protect some of our better fisheries. Where else can you go and keep 50 crappie of any size? I have a self imposed 10" minimum and normally go larger. Crappie are just like most other living creatures; they have to mature a little before they fill out.

Can someone please rotate this pic for a technically challenged old man?

Southern Chuter, the lowest the water got to in October was 206, very possible it won't be that high in March this next year. The majority of October we could put in at Bryant, got to be at least 207, and we rarely get to put in there in March, very rare.
Keep Torrence in mind if you plan to fish the Scuna side, 206 and lower you can use it, matter fact its the only ramp on the Scuna side usable at that low of a level.
