Grenada Lake is a reservoir in Mississippi, near Grenada County.
Grenada is big crappie water, but its Skuna and Yalobusha arms make the reservoir easier to break down. Choose one arm and a suitable launch instead of spending the day crossing open water. Bass, catfish and bream give you other targets when crappie are scattered.
For crappie, start by studying channel-related water in the Skuna or Yalobusha arm. Drifting or trolling jigs and minnows helps cover water; cooler-weather reports have used roughly 12 to 14 feet as a starting depth. Bass use flooded cover, stake beds and river ledges. Bream can be worked around brush and timber with worms or crickets.
Check the current Corps ramp and water-level information before towing a boat. Grenada is operated for flood control, and its shoreline moves a long way between seasons. A large boat run across the main reservoir isn't necessary for every trip; a sheltered arm can keep a smaller boat closer to its launch.
Summer pool covers about 35,820 acres, compared with roughly 9,800 at winter pool. Follow marked navigation routes and don't trust a summer track through shallow water during drawdown. Special crappie size, harvest, pole and fish-cleaning rules apply. The spillway below the dam has its own fishing conditions and provisions.
