You can stay in several hotels just off the interstate in the town of Grenada. To my knowledge there is no where to stay on the water. These hotels are about 5 min from the DAM. Carry bouth jigs and minnows. You never know what they may want. I always do but usually wind up using jig only. Just cant leave the minnows behind! Be prepared to do several types of fishing. With the high water things will be different this year. I like 2.5 inch chart/silver giltter and chart/red glitter curly tail jigs. I have found that i can use the for just about everything but usually switch to tubes when vert. fishing. Good luck! By the way, they use really big minnows in Missippi. Don't let that scare you.
