    Default Feeding the Conway Prop Monster...


    Went out yesterday with my wife to find a few and look around a little. Stayed in the boat lanes with the big motor at idle speed while puttering along. Was over by Brannon Access and "ka thunk"! The "Conway Prop Monster" struck! As you can see, he ate a whole blade off my prop. I hope he gets indigestion because it took us over an hour to get back to Caney Creek Access.

    Wife and I have had a chuckle over it.

    Appreciate it. Guess my thought is that if you spend enough time out on the water, things like this happen.

    Still hope the "Monster" gets a belly ache!

    that will probably buff out.
    Crappie bite twice a day. 15 minutes before I get there and 10 minutes after I leave.

    And that prop looked like it was nearly new or at least very well taken care of.
