Grenada Mississippi. PICS ADDED updated with our results

Headed out at 6 in the morning to give it a go at the three pounders. Get to fish for a whole week down there. Thank you Lane at constantpursuitoutfitters for the secret weapons they look awesome. I hope to be able to send some pics with the jigs hanging out of some 3 lbers mouths. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I know I won't be able to sleep at all tonight!!!

I hate you and Chris. Good luck and be safe.

I hope you got enough of those secret weapons to share...

I still have to get my stuff ready. I am hoping we catch a stringer like Jay Don an Rhonda did last year.

Good luck gents. Hope you a bunch of 3 pounders.

So jealous! Have fun guys and catch a 3 pounder!

Good luck Chris.....and don't forget about the "deal"!!!!!!!! Cody can't help!!!!!!

I got ya

Good Luck. I wonder what the water temp is right now!

Jaydon and Rhonda left Livingston about 4pm headed to Grenada. They're ready. Hope the fish cooperate for the Texas bunch. Good luck to all.

We want pic's!

Should be a good week to go. Temps. Will be warming up next week & sunshine for 3 days!

Get'm boys!

If you girls do everything I taught ya you should do fine.Good luck.Darrell

It was exactly two years ago this week that Matt, Dennis, Larry and I made the voyage to Mecca....ok, Grenada. I sure hope you guys have better weather than we did. Couldn't even get on the water the first two days and then our guide refused to take us out or give us out money back! Worst trip of my life.
So, sure hope you guys have a great trip and send us lots of pics of all the 3+lb crappie! I'll even bet old Beltonbanger Bill will mount them for you?

Good luck to all making the trip...

Good fishin'!

Yep, good luck to you all.

You can't spell Grenada without grande. Better take some pictures of them three pounders!

Good luck guys!!! Good luck to all the CAT gang!!!!!!!!

I grew up near there and used to fish Grenada lake all the time. I spent many Saturdays on the backwaters and the river that feeds into the lake near Big Creek. And I've pulled my share of corked jigs across the spillway too. I never realized that the lake was such a big deal for crappie, but I did always catch them there.

welcometo the forum!

safe trip to and fro,lay down those Texas skills on'em!

Just pulled in boys. Hope you brought a good rain suit!!! See ya when you get here. Be safe.

Grenada is on my lifelong bucket list. Look forward to pics of your conquest.

Reggie

It's been raining the whole trip over. We are 200 miles from Grenada

Yikes
I hope it doesn't get blown out over there. Should have some good days coming up.
Good luck! I hope you guys stick a pig!

Thanks, crope1. I only have 3 posts, but I lurk a lot. I've been hoping to get some tips on catching crappie and bass for Fort Worth area lakes. I used to fish a lot back in Mississippi, but have just gotten back into it here in Texas.

Good luck, be safe, and fer sure enjoy the trip...

Any Updates? Need some pics on the wide angle lens.

Pics...pics...pics!!!!

Sorry guys will get some pics up tomorrow evening. Only had one good fish today at 2.64lbs. Caught a lot of fish just no monsters. Seems to be the story with all the other teams fishing as well

glad to know the "Teams" made it safely....thx for the report....keep after'em.

Surely those other teams wouldn't be holdin back anything...keep after'em...

Good fishin '

Here is the 2.64

Sorry don't know how to turn the pic

Fixed it for you Cody!!!!

2.64 is my personal best so in my mind, that's a monster! Good luck guys.....

That is indeed a monster!

Nice fish H2O!

Almost!

Here's Chris with a 2.49 today. I don't know what's going on I can't catch one over 2. Maybe my lucky days will be during the tourney

Lookin good stay afterum.Darrell

Chris is running the trolling motor, right? Problem solved. Nice fish Chris! I still can't stand either one of you. Just bring me some filets. I don't have a boat and am out of fish.

Great fish sir. Keep those pics coming.

what's the technique? how are you guys catching em?

We are spider rigging in 2 to 8 ft of water using both minnows and jigs

Here Mofish ( Chris Scott) with a 2.60 he caught today.

fishin_farmer,hang in there,your time is coming! once you get started,you'll be tag-teaming then....

Is spider rigging about the only way to go out there? Just drifting or using the trolling motor?

Yes it is by far the best way to fish this lake. This lake is like no other because the fish don't relate to structure. It is like they are just roaming over the flats. Therefore you cover more water by spider rigging. Some people use drift socks and go with the wind and others use their trolling motors and go against the wind.

How's Jaydon and Rhonda doing? Have they broke their PB yet?

Nice fish Chris, you too Chris.

Farmer it's time for you to bust loose and I'm not talk about your dance moves.

Coughthreepoundercough cough.

I'm saving my luck till Friday I hope. Chris and I had a really tough day today. It's a beating fishing daylight to dark and catching 15 small fish. That's a long time between bites. The upside is we eleminated a lot of water today. Lol

Live it up bud...you will find them and like you said, you eliminated a bunch of water. Keep developing that pattern and make Texas proud...even from an Okie lol


-Dan

Kirk Jaydon said they had close to 16lbs yesterday. No monsters just a bunch of 2 to 2.36 I believe. Other than yesterday we are all still struggling as far as big fish

Thanks Dan. We are definetly eleminating waster no doubt.

Y'all stay after 'em Cody. I think Lane has a cough.

Yeah Bobby, Lane has a frog in his throat.

Here's the sunrise on the lake
Wouldn't this be loaded in Texas. Sitting in 4 ft and water temp 64.
Not in Grenada move 100 yards away and you might catch one. Leaves you shaking your head!!! Here is the only fish we caught by a tree and the only male we have caught that had any color to it. My biggest one so far I hope at 2.00 even but good for a male

Wscott (Willy Scott). Joined in on the fun today and landed him a 2.68 beating Mofish( his brother) by .08 pounds. Lol

wow nice fish, looks like fun but not too much of a pattern, just a bunch of boats drifting around the lake hoping to land over some big fish that want the bait/
are you mostly picking up single fish? can you see them on side imaging? seems like you could spot those whoppers .

also, what is the baitfish pattern, ? are you finding any shad? birds diving?

Thanks for sharing the pics, Cody!

Pics added.

Nice day!

Nice work gents. Someones going to stick that 3lber.

Willy is the man!

Sounds like a great trip! I'm jealous.

Hang tough guys!!!!

Well?

Give us the play by play Farmer! I know Chris was your net boy today.

Reports that I've heard was it was tough. Wind was a killer.

My my my, Grenada got its paddle out and gave Chris and I a good tail whoopin today. Wind was tough and we were only able to weigh in 3 fish. Embarrassing.... On a great note Mofish (Chris Scott) and Wscott ( willy Scott) are sitting in 6th with 16.66lbs and Jaydon and Rhonda are sitting in 15th with 15.53. There were 3. 18+ lb stringers and 2. 17lb stringers weighed in. Big fish so far is 3.36

Stay after 'em Cody and Chris. Good job Willie and Chris and Jaydon and Rhonda.

+1

WTG Chris and Willie.

its not over yet....

Quite a turn around from the records set there last year! I'll never forget those 20+ pound stringers or that JayDon had the first one on the first day! Hard to duplicate that for sure!

Here is to March Madness..........Granada style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW

Well Chris and I stunk it up again. But a big congrats to Chris and Willy Scott on an 8th place finish with 32.50lbs and big fish of 3.03. Also Jaydon and Rhonda Reeve with a 12th place finish with 31.91 and big fish 3.20. Great job folk y'all did crappieanglersoftexas very proud!!!!! This was out of 106 teams

Great job everyone!

Fantastic pics!! and post

Thanks for all the kudos and kind words fellas. After a tough week of pre-fishing Willie and I were simply hoping to catch 7 fish each day, never imagined finishing in the top 10. Grenada is a tough lake and with the water level near summer pool it's a complete different fishery with unlimited amount of 1.5' to 3' of water. Thursday evening a cold front came through dropping the temperature to 38 degrees Friday morning with a 15 mph north wind and Saturday morning it was 34 degrees with a NE wind getting up to 15 mph, which makes spider rigging very difficult. And to top it off, Saturday morning the water temperature dropped 8 to 10 degrees in the area we were fishing. It actually snowed for about 15 minutes Saturday afternoon, unbelievable.

It was a tough week of fishing that turned out better then we could have ever hoped. Again, thanks for all the kind words.

Way to go everyone!! Congrats to all of you!
You are all top fisherman in my book! I learn a lot from guys like you!

Now if I can get away from work long enough to fish...

Don't let them Scott boys fool you!

They are that GOOD!

What they did is,
on unknown waters, in a different state, figured out and put together a pattern that beat all but 7 teams! Wow!

They kicked some arse!

You know they are thinking, how did those boys from Texas kick our butt, on our home lake!
Y'all done good.

Congrats to all the Crappie Anglers of Texas, who made the trip.

Congrats to all CAT members that participated and represented.....

You're so right, dude. Willy and Chris are good fisherman and JayDon and Rhonda did good too. Congrats everyone!

Congrats to the Texas guys and Gal!

Great catch.

Congrats all!
WTG
Won't be long until CAT will be 4 or 5 of the top ten.
Way to represent.

Reflections of the week - man, that's a tough lake!! It is a new lake every time we go. The lake levels change constantly and we have never fished the same area for the tournament for the 4 years we've been going there. Last year there was very little water, this year it was 10 foot higher than last year. The weather was good all week up until Thursday night when a cold front came through. Friday was cold and windy. Saturday was colder and it sleeted/snowed on us. Rhonda shivered uncontrollably all day Saturday. We caught eight keepers on Friday and seven on Saturday. It was tough all week!! But man, when you hook a 3 pounder, there is nothing like it!!! We had 3 on Saturday after searching all week for them. A good day to find them!!

Chris and Willie did a great job finding fish and figuring out what to do to catch them!! So happy they caught that 3 pounder on Saturday - think they are hooked now!!

When you are fishing against 107 of the best teams in the nation, it feels really good to bring that check home. I'd put any of our CAT anglers up against these teams!

Now, on to D'Arbonne in April!

CONGRATS TO ALL

That must have been a big rock to hide you for 3 years!!!!
