Grenada Lake. To anyone who has ever dreamed of catching a monster crappie, the name speaks for itself. Day in and day out, Grenada Lake probably produces more trophy-sized crappie than any other fishery in the country. […]
Veteran guide John Harrison looks forward to fishing Grenada during the spring spawn more than any other time of the year. The spawn is a time when he can catch fish on their own turf, going hand-to-hand with the monster crappie that are home to the lake. […]

Chambers says that to understand crappie fishing on Washington, you need to understand two things — water levels and cypress trees. […]
Lake Fork Trophy Lures’ 9-inch Hyper Lizard is as innovative as it is productive. The action of the segmented body combined with the oversized paddle tail on this unique bait creates a realistic vibration that entices fierce reaction strikes. […]
