Check out YouTube for tournaments on Grand in April. Plenty of content.
thanks
if we get all the rain they are claiming, could be high and muddy..
Thank YOU!
Rising with alot of Floaters..
Thanks.....gotta be there in two weeks....hopefully it will be better!
I’m supposed to go down next week Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Looks like cool and rain.
I’m having second thoughts about making the drive.
4.74 ft ABOVE normal
Pool elevation is 746.74 feet on Thursday 18Mar21 Time: 07:00 hours.
At this elevation the total amount of water stored in Pensacola (Grand Lake) is 1590955 acre-feet.
Reservoir release is 66906 cubic feet per second on Thursday 18Mar21 Time: 06:00 hours.
Thanks for the update...not looking good for a good bite?
Grand above normal is awesome just head to the flooded willow trees. That is if you can catch it in that 30 second window before the GRDA drops the bottom out of it.
The bite normally in April is awesome...just need mother nature to be right

So water appears to still be up so I am guessing this "awesome" April means jigs and spinnerbaits right into the willows and bushes?
At the current elevation there is not a lot of willow and bush in the water. Really 748 and above is when you see that. I fished a tournament at 750.00 flipping bushes like 2 years ago- which was the winning pattern- and I didn't get a bite all day, so you gotta be in the right area. Now granted I stink so you gotta factor that in as well.
Water got as high as 56 degrees on Saturday, but was muddy in most places, I suspect by the time you get there a few spawning fish will come into play.
Checked a few ramps on North Ft. Gibson today. Nothing open or usable.
White horn cove Marina (open but no ramp usable) Snug Harbor(open but no ramps usable) Bluebill Point-closed, Flat Rock Creek-Closed.
Saw one boat on the lake.
How do you get a bass boat on the lake?
On the other hand,plenty of big logs rolling down the lake-best to find another lake.
The COE is worthless, they have the capacity to let more go, I guess its to not slow down barge traffic.

Man I’m hoping this week doesnt turn into skunk-ation
