Don't need guides if you already know how to fish. Juist follow the boats. Trolling and single pole will be heating up around that time.

Guides can't teach you how to fish in a day or two, but they're the best money you can spend to learn a lake fast, as well as the pattern that's best at the time.

Plus he ask for guide info!!!! I gave him some of the best around.

Knowing where the fish are on a unfamiliar body of water makes a guide money well spent. My experience level doesn't compensate with the vast area of unfamiliar water and a limited amout of time to fish it.

Thanks for all the replies so far. Have contacted a guide for some preliminary info. ( he's a member here ) still in the early stages of planning..... Not even 100% sure where we're going yet , but Miss is HIGH on the list. Thanks again and God bless.

The money you save not dragging a boat will pay for a couple of days of guiding, pressure is on the guide and you get to learn a new body of water and enjoy the trip. Good luck whatever you decide, best advice that can be given is that if you do hire a guide, listen to him. If you come down here then you need to be flexible, 4 GOOD lakes within a hour drive and another really good one another 30 minutes out for that time of year, one of them will be hot most likely.

John Kyle state park at Sardis, Geo. Cossar state park at Enid , Hugh White state park at Grenada have cabins. Check their websites they fill up fast for the spring. About $80 per day. I've stayed in one at Sardis, 1 queen in bedroom and a sofa bed in living room/kitchen, small kitchen. I've stayed in a few at Enid, 2 queen beds in one room, living room and larger kitchen. I've drove and found the ones at Grenada, I wouldn't stay there, location, don't know anything about the cabins.
Food, besides what you can cook. Como Steakhouse, some say it's worth the drive and price is good. Batesville has a Cracker Barrel, other restaurants and fast food. Walmart, 2 other gro stores, twice the ice. Oakland has a catfish shack, open weekends, buffet option. Grenada has a lot of everything.

Late Feb early March is in my opinion the best time of the year if you wanna catch BIG crappie, sounds to me like you picked a good time to go, good luck on your trip, I am pretty sure you will see me there during that time :)

I stayed at John Kyle State Park, used John Harrison for the guide at Lake Enid , and ate at Como's Steak House. Best money I ever spent. The steak was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever eaten. John Harrison is a hoot. You'll enjoy him, IF you can get him. Better call and book soon.
