Thoughts on winter pool Grenada fishing

make sure you set your offset to lake level before you even back the boat down. We had ours set for martins seven ft drawdown. We were running thirty across Grenada and found our selves in 3-4 inches of water. If we had not been running a jet boat we would have been thrown out. Instead we floored it and skimmed across the sandbar.
When your local buddies tell you it's tuff sledding buy into t

we ended the day one short of a wannabe limit lol

do not attempt without a gps lake card

just st a few tips

Them lakes are very dangerous at winter pool. I think anyone that fishes the big 4 should go down and ride the lake bottom at winter pool to get a better understanding as to what they are getting into I have seen folks wide open in 2 foot or less of water and not have a clue

Glad y'all got back on the trailer safe and sound, learned a little about the ole girl I bet.

Wish I had a dollar for every time I've been fishing a winter pool lake and said to my buddy, "hey, watch this guy coming". I seen lots of guys with wet feet. Been that guy myself once or twice.

Yep, happens quick

Sand bar? Mud or clay bar is more like it.
Out on the lake with my son. I've got the depth finder and trying to find deeper water than 3 ft. My son is some 20 ft away and having to push off out of the mud. We found 8ft of water, no fish in 3 hours.

Sand,mud or clay is bad news in skinny water. After yesterday I'll not come back in a prop again. After we set the offset to 21 ft we were a lot safer navigating. We learned a lot about the channels and marked a lot of fish. It's just so different than our crystal clear lake that there is much to learn. We may come back in spring but it's doubtful. It's hard to leave fish looking for fish. We will be catching thirty a day at that point a piece. We marked thousands upon thousands of fish yesterday and got short hit a couple of times. Not catching a single one. We just enjoyed the beautiful day the lord made.

Why don't they increase the winter pool to say 198' and lower the summer pool to 210'. Does summer pool really needs to be a 215'?

Yes summer pool needs to be 215, at 210 it would cut the water surface almost in half.
Winter pool won't rise and is where it needs to be. If you do a little research it's there to back it up. When we have big springs rains it's not uncommon for us to have a 5 foot rise in 24 hours.

Saw a truck and trailer at the landing. Had to have been ya'll. Sorry I missed you. You definitely found her at a real low point. However, I think Rees said it was even lower a few days ago.
