My son and I will be traveling down from Truman to fish this spring and I have a question.is my 12' bmjp strong enough for your big slabs and should I get any longer poles? Also any suggestions on where to stay? Any other other help would be appreciated..
yes it will be strong enough...I single pole jig with one and handle them just fine. As far as places to stay in grenada I am no help. I know that you will get tons of responses on here from some members that are more familiar with places to stay.
Its plenty strong enough personaly I prefer a 10 ft when using single pole. Ozark rod 10 ft rear seat to be exact. But if your lucky enough to find one open the cabins at hugh white st park are nice and alot of people stay at the #8 motel it out close to the lake. If there are no openings there grenada is full of hotels.
Its strong enough for sure. BnM is from Ms'ippi you know.

bring your waders you will have a blast and the B&M is perfect for Grenada
Sorry I haven't gotten back been working overtime for trip money. I have a 10' Ozark and 12' bmpj spider rig rods. But I haven't worn my waiders for a while. I know it depends on the Dee weather but my son wants to mostly spider rig do I need to plan the trip early in February?
Early March at the earliest unless we get a lot of rain, mid March will be better and we are having a our spring camp then. Your poles should be fine and bring both, either can be real good.Quote:

When is your guys camp?
March 14th
Are the crappie more in transition there in February? And where are you holding camp?
Main camp will be at North Graysport campground.
The cook out and all Saturday will most likely be held below the dam at the big pavillion beside the spillway.
In February tipically Grenada is very low, like really low. Muddies up very easy and is hard to get on something. Lake Washington is a much better choice in February than Grenada. Last of February and beginning of March things start turning on normally.
Weather is such a huge factor, rain makes us jump, both the last 2 years we have had late winter days folks were trying to fish on a 5 foot rise in 24 hours.
Big key to coming down in the spring is to be flexible, Sardis is only 50 miles North with Enid in between, be willing to make a move if need be.
Why not hang a few large tarps from the trees in the campground and have some folding tables? Instead of all the driving around from here to there.
There is several of us staying in the cabins at Hugh White State Park. Come and join the party.
Rees would like to come down in march do you have any thing ?
Cabins at Hugh White on Grenada or George Cossar on Enid are both good. Been to both. Cossar puts you in the middle of all three lakes so gives some options on where to fish unless you are only fishing Grenada.
Feb can and usually is an excellent month for really big slabs, all it takes is a couple of days of warm weather to turn them on.
Weather is always the biggest unknown challenge. The wind can't possibly be worse than last year. 40 years of fishing and the worst I've ever seen.

Is George Cossar a campground? I'm I'm Missouri. Which lake?
Campground and cabins but I was told at fall camp that they were already booked through the spring. Wont hurt to call but dont tarry any about it. Its on Enid, puts you right beside a ramp at Enid and within being in the water at Grenada or Sardis either in about 45 minutes.
