Looking at making a trip to Grenada this late February early March for my brothers bachelor trip. Was hoping to get some pointers on fishing the lake. Not familiar with the lake other than looking at maps of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Only advice I can give is make sure you go late enough in the year so it has time to feel up with water. They drain the fire out of it.Quote:

No way to tell until it gets closer to your date of arrival. Everything depends on the weather

Sure

It is but when low like it is now, 195 to 198 range and lower, it seems to be tougher than any other time.Quote:

200 and up, rising. Need a Lakemaster card in a Humminbird and adjust it according to the lake. At 200 there is a BUNCH of water 6 inches deep and shallower.Quote:

Lot of guides on this lake, myself included, money well spent, one day with a guide and then fish on your own. Our lakes here move 22 up from winter pool to summer pool. My number is in my signature, be glad to help any way I can whether I guide you or not.Quote:

Times two on the guide for a day. You will cut your learning curve in half. The LakeMaster and Hummingbird card is also a must as far as I am concerned. You may think you are in open water but look out :yikes. I went in March a couple of years ago and stayed for a month and a half. Boy Howdy did I get a lesson on lake depth and change. I saw folks running wide open in areas that 2 days earlier had stumps sticking up all over. I also saw areas that I had run wide open that made my heart skip a few beats when I saw what was under that water.
That year the water jumped up 5 or more feet in less than 2 days. You need to be careful on that lake and use common sense while running it. Good luck and again if it is your first trip Ress. would be a good investment.
Take plenty of beer just in case you gotta sit at the cabin all day if you go toward the end of February. Best guides on the lake won't take trips that early. But....like feesh said the weather can turn it on. You just never kno. I'd play it say tho
Other than water depth, look to hire a guide the first day. Lots of great folks down there that will help make the rest of your trip enjoyable and successful!

Me and my fishing partner took our first trip to Grenada the third weekend of March last year. Water level was still low and wind was blowing 20+. Even with the knowledge I received from the guys on here, it’s not a lake you want to learn how to fish alone. Spend the little extra and hire someone like Rees Guide. He was very helpful sharing info on here, so I’m sure he would on the water as well. I’ll definitely hire a guide for my second trip.

It is cheaper to hire a guide to show you old #7 highway than to find it yourself . Trust me . :twocents
I’ve seen some old photos that show three or four old road beds up by graysport bridge and other places idk if that what u talkin bout or not.Quote:

Heh...saw a guy put a 150 Merc IN his boat after he hit Butputter creek bridge going about 50 mph.
The bridge bannister was about 6" under...

Hey, Rees. Where is this submerged bridge you and msumoose speak of?
