Watch the wind .
This was posted on Facebook and was thought to have been today at Grenada . Weather it was or not the possibility of this happening has been high for smaller boats as of late . Be careful out there .

Spring crappie fishing and windy days every year around here. I'm retired now so I can pick my days. Folks who work often cannot. Please be careful. I had some close calls trying to fish only on weekends. Looking back, I can't believe I made such dangerous choices. Please don't be like I was.

A friend of mine wading at Grenada last week lost his boat in the wind. He thinks he must not have tied it good enough. At any rate, he eventually found it on the other side of the lake, full of water.*
*Take your cell phone with you when you wade. It's the only thing that saved his hide. He was able to call a friend to come pick him up. You never know what can happen on the water.
It pays to know the lake and watch the wind direction and speed at Grenada. You can get in a terrible fix pretty quick. A couple of years ago I saw a beautiful bass boat get swamped at South Graysport while trying to load up. A horrendous West wind.

Many of us have taken unnecessary risks when in pursuit of those slabs. The pick in this post is a sobering reminder of how quickly things can change. The big 4 are extremely dangerous when you combine rough water with structure and stumps. I agree with catchumDeep, don't take those risks! Everybody use good judgement and lets watch out for one another so we can live to fish another day. Thanks for the post.

I think this was at Sardis. Two guys were pulled out and treated for hypothermia. One took a while for his body temp to go up to normal, but both are going to be ok. At any rate, everyone needs to be careful. Any one if the Big 4, and Barnett, can get life threatening in high winds. Been there, done that, lol.

I started crappie fishing with a tracker boat with a 25 hp. It's to small for Grenada. Moved up to G3 18 ft. With a 90 hp. I had to beach it in a storm and water came over the transom. I now fish with 23 ft Carolina Skiff center console with a 175 hp. It can take most conditions very well. That being said, pick your days and be careful.

Back in the day, we all fished Grenada in 14ft Jon boats with 9.9 motors. We picked our spots based on wind direction and knew which boat ramp to use depending on which way the wind was blowing. Even though I’ve moved up to a larger boat, I still do that.
