LOZ Grand Glaize

[NickIL]

I am a multi-species fisherman from western Illinois who recently acquired a condo & slip on the Grand Glaize arm of LOZ.  Will retire in a year and spend a good deal of time learning the GG arm.  I would really like to make some contacts and talk some fishin with some anglers familiar with the area.  Thanks in advance.

Not a big fan of the GG arm.  Lot's of boat traffic, especially in the Summer.  Fishing has always been hit or miss there.  A bunch of tournaments take off out of PB2 so there's always a lot of fish being re-introduced into the lake there but it doesn't always result in better fishing.  Enjoy your retirement and remember,  the lake is pretty decent to run on during the week, just stay off of it on the weekends.

Plan on doing the majority of your fishin in the summer early or late. (early preferably) and you might wanna get acquainted with some of the less popular parts of GG, specifically down around LORA or Mcubbins Point. I've had a lot of luck on the grand glaize and would be happy to help you out if you have any specific questions (spots and such).

A great way to learn the area is to start your fishing day by hanging out by LORA and PB2 on saturday mornings and follow the tournament fisherman around. A lot of fisherman tend to head up the Osage or towards the dam, but some stay close, and you'll notice the same spots over and over again if you do it enough.
