Thread: Lousy Lake Conway Fisherman

I read the title and felt obligated to respond! I have been catching some BIG Bluegill on the trees while jig fishing for Crappie. Not a lot, but I wasn't targeting them. Check your message box.

I saw shifty wearing them out yesterday on the lake. They looked to be in pretty shallow water where he was fishing.

thanks for the info, maybe I spent too much time in the 6-9 foot water and not enough on the banks or out a few feet in the 2-3 feet. working to put a plywood mount on the front of my boat for a foot controlled trolling motor and my Gen 2 touch - but will get back out in a week or so. maybe better luck then.

I took a buddy of mine yesterday (he's a green carp fisherman and can't handle the summer grind for crappie on Conway) we kept about 40 or so that were fillet size. Most were close to the bottom in 3.5-4 fow at the base of cypress clumps on redworms and a slip cork. Try to find areas close to the bank where the pads extend to the cypress. Hope this helps and good luck.

I know how you feel tried fishing there the last 2 years

My partner and I kept 20 on Wednesday. Going back tomorrow. Caught all fish in 2 feet or less.



D10 ended up with one redear...all fish were males

Very nice! Thanks for letting we feel a tug on the line during a work break. That made my day!

I really like that drop shot gill fishing! I need to do that soon.

Hey... we were all lousy Conway Fisherman at one point and time. Believe it or not there are still days. I feel like a lousy Conway fisherman. Don't give up and stay the course man.
