Grand Lake help

[halfpint33]

Myself and some buddies are loading the boats up and heading to Grand Lake early summer for a weekend outing. It's been 30+ yrs since I fished there. We used to stay at Honey Creek resort and Harts Cove when I was a kid and I fished those places and that was it. Any advice on other places to stay and to fish would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Early summer those pesky Largies will be good on a deep diving crank bait like a 6xd and a 1.5 square bill.  Sexy shad colors.

Thanks for the advice.

Holler at me about a week before you guys come.  I can see what I can come up with by going up and fishing it or hit up some buddies and see what they are catching them on.

It'll depend on the conditions as always.  That time of year I've caught them good in the flooded willows near Sailboat bridge and up the Elk.  But, I've also hammered them on bluff walls with a jig in the Honey Creek area.  If its pretty stained where you're fishing stick with fishing close to the cover with jigs, squarebills and spinnerbaits.  If more clear, you can get them on carolina rigs and shaky head.

 

Not that many great places to stay near there.  I think last time we stayed at Outrigger and it wasn't bad but don't quote me on that.

The last time I stayed in Grove, I stayed at the Outrigger, primarily because it was pretty flat and easy to park my boat.   That was a few years ago.

David Hale at Honey Creek Outdoors in Grove is a great resource.  He can help with both where to stay and where to fish.  All around great guy and a great business.
