Grenada Lake- Fishing Guide or try it alone?

Been wanting to try out the fishing at Grenada Lake, MS and was wondering if it would be best to use a guide for the first trip there or pull my boat 250 miles and try it our on my own.

Are you planning to do a weekend and possibly fish it multiple days or making that haul to fish it once?
If multiple days could always get a guide one day to get the feel of it then give it a go on your own after that.
I’ve never fished it but worked in the area for a while and thought about giving it a try if I was ever back in the area.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I had a friend (died while deer hunting) that would fill up his freezers every year with crappie from Grenada Lake.

Probably a 3 day trip. Friday-Sunday

I've never heard anyone say they had a bad trip after fishing there.
....Heck of a way for your friend to go but at least he wasn't at work or doing something he hated.

Do it yourself. Watch other fisherman and copy them. Always fun and challenging to take your show on the road.

The lower the water, the easier it is to do it by yourself. But the inverse is also true. If it's spring time and water is all in the back Timber, I would hire a guide. They know how to push back to get where they're spawning.
If it's summer pool. Or relatively low in the spring time, then I would just do it yourself.

Check out Sandage Guide Services. Jason's a great guy and will load you up on crappie.
He's a buddy of mine and a fulltime guide on Enid, Grenada, & Sardis. He winters here during deer/duck season, but resides on Grenada during the rest of the year.
I know a lot of people who use him him every year.

IF you happen to use a guide, make sure the lake isn’t 15’ above normal conditions and fish are “hard to come by.” They apparently won’t tell you that until after you drove 5 hours and paid for 8 people (mainly two kids) to catch all the fish they post all on their Facebook.
Then they might stick you with an old fart for a guide that fizzed out after about 30 minutes and just takes you to 2 spots over an 8 hour day of catching 3 fish.
If I’d fish there again, it try and fish it myself.

Boats will be where the fish are. If they are shallow, boats will be shallow. If they are deep, boats will be deep.
Frustrating thing about Grenada, Enid, Sardis is it seems like everyone is catching or no one is catching. Such is Crappie fishing. Similar to trout I suppose.

I have heard a lot of guys out there troll with diving crank baits for sacalait/crappie/ white perch.

During the hot summer months. This is deadly.

Heard some people the other talking about trying to get a guided trip and everyone they called is booked up on weekends for quite some time.

For crappie in February just fish off the bank below the spillway

I live in Grenada. Grenada Lake Charters has a pretty cool setup where they house you in their cabin, feed you, and guide you.
Jason Golding runs it, he previously owned Lakeway sporting goods but shut it down to focus more on this.
Folks been hammering them coming out of the spillway here the past couple weeks since the water has been so cold. Lake is really low right now too.
As far as a guide vs doing it yourself, the guides will know the secret holes. Apparently crappie holes are more protected than your favorite deer stands. You’ll have a good time either way.
