I use to go every year In march till about 2010. Never stayed at MML, but heard good things! As far as fishing……expect high, dirty water, make that chocolate milk, and lots of other boats! That being said…..great place to bust the cabin fever, not to far or expensive, great scenery, and we always caught at least a couple fish. Depending on the weather, they'll be back in the coves (hollers), or near the entrances to the coves in the main lake. Think shad like never before….find them first and the skies will be close by in numbers. Good Luck!

You can't beat Tony Grants deal though. 2 days guiding, + 3 nights lodging for 2 people for only $575? That's a heck of a price!
Looks like the prices may of went up a little. The web site has it at $675 for 2 people, 3 nights, fully guided, and lodging. Still a good deal.
Edit……my mistake, it is $575 for March, April, and May.

Rob H and Mark P went down there a couple years ago. I'm sure Rob will be able to help you out.
We never made it down there. We've both been to Kincaid a few times and have had good success in late February & March. The last few years I've also gone down to Prairie Lake in Illinois for an early season outing. I am actually planning another trip there this April. It's an easy lake to fish because of its size (around 200 acres), has fish in the upper 40" range, and has cabins on the lake you can rent. I was surprised at how good the fishing actually was and we were practically the only ones on the lake both weekends I went down. I was also impressed with how healthy the fished seemed considering the primary forage is sunfish & catfish. The lake had an abundance of flooded timber & has a nice remoteness to it even though the drive down there isn't very scenic. I believe it takes about 7 1/2 hours to get there & is a nice, inexpensive way to shake off the winter blues.
Defiantly worth the trip ( went down there with treeman) and can see why they have some big muskies there. Lots of big water, some deep water, and plenty of cover. Fishing was slower than normal for everybody in camp though because the water temp was about 10 degrees cooler than normal, but hey………it still beats ice. 😀
This is, for sure a blue collar place, which was perfect for us. Nothing fancy. Just fishing all day and drinking beer, talking about muskies in the rec room at night. What more could you want. Super friendly people there too, as I've found most musky fisherman are.
