Who has been? Best ramp to use? Best reasonable place to stay? Best area to fish? Where to avoid? Need clarification on limit for crappie. Shows limit is 30 for state but then it says 15 under 12” for Grenada. Does that mean 15 under and 15 over? I need to do more research.all info is very welcome. Since hubby is retired we aren’t stuck with weekend warriors. Flexible for any time. First hand knowledge is always best.
Grenada is 15! Must be OVER 12 inches.
Grenada Reservoir+ 12 inches & under 15 per day. That is what it shows on web site.
+ At Arkabutla, Enid, Grenada and Sardis Reservoirs anglers may fish no more than 4 poles per person. Each pole may have no more than 2 hooks or lures. The aggregate daily boat creel limit for all species of crappie on Arkabutla, Enid, Sardis, and Grenada Reservoirs for boats with three or more anglers shall be 40 crappie larger than 12 inches.
Totally confused now. The last sentence doesn’t jive with the other limit above.
If there are more than 2 people, the limit for the boat is 40!
Possession limit on Grenada, Enid, Sardis and Arkabutla is 15 per person a day with a boat limit no more than 40 regardless of how many anglers in the boat. Crappie must be OVER 12 inches. A 12 inch crappie will get you a ticket. There are several good ramps on Grenada depending on the lake level and what part of the lake you want to fish. Grenada Landing is nice and has a big courtesy dock for loading and unloading. It can get pretty busy on the weekends. If you are fishing the east end of the lake, Graysport South is a good ramp as long as the lake is high enough. One other thing, keep an eye on the weather. It can get nasty really fast out there

Got it. Was reading length stuff wrong. Duh.
Also don’t over look the pay to launch ! I know a fellow that didn’t see the pay pipe ! It cost him about 137.50
I have the get in free card for all federal stuff including Corp ramps. Will check further if we go.

We use to live in Northeast Arkansas for several years and fished the big four on a regular basis. I echo what spec said about the ramps, pay close attention to the wind, and let the wind direction dictate where you put in. also, you will get checked by game wardens and if fish are close toss them back. We quit fishing those lakes given the large crowds. The last time we were at Sardis - ten years ago - we were at Holiday Lodge at daylight and there were 18 rigs in the line to launch. However I get it, If you want to catch big stringers, you have to go where they live. We have stayed at all of the local motels and we liked the Day Inn in Batesville Ms. I would caution you about locking and securing everything in your boat at most of the motels. Have a good trip and catch a big one.
Grenada for big fish sardis for numbers be sure you check each fish 12" + if you put them on ice a 121/4 will be too short when he dies $165 fine per fish. you can get a senior pass if you are over 65 contact the US fish and wildlife service good at all parks 1/2 price camping and free boat launch all core lakes and state parks check the water levels winter draw down
