True, the place is packed with young healthy people, running, jogging and skating, not to mention the place is full of sailboats and restaurants dot the shores, you can still find yourself a spot to fish.

Crappie are good there year round and newcomers to this lake should try the rocky area near the dam as well as around the lighthouse area.

Hefner DOES have a daily permit… ($3)

Grand Lake

Friday, April 16th, 2010

Grand Lake begins where the Elk & Spring river combine with the Neosho. Grand Lake itself if a whopping 46000 acres with 1300 MILES of shoreline.

What do lots of folks fish for at Grand Lake?

Crappie

Grand Lake is highly developed. It’s a vacation spot, a weekend getaway spot, lots of big homes as well as cabins on the shorelines and many of those have floating docks and boathouses. All of which make great crappie hiding places. Smart anglers save their Christmas trees and submerge them (tied so that they don’t wash away) on their docks.

Look for the man-made brush pile structures just off the shorelines and you’ll find crappie. It’s almost guaranteed!
