I have fished Grand Lake a few times in tournaments. Fairly clear water, rocky bottom, some hydrilla, a riverine lake. Don't look for massive sacks, LMBV hit the lake about 5-7 years ago.

Red Port 11 is friendliest Marina on the lake...gal they kept hitting on me ;D

As a point of trivia, anyone know what Red Port 11 means?
