I have been on Conway my whole life so its a cake walk to run lake conway. I highly recommend the unexperienced not to attempt it. Conway can be brutal to a newbie on the lake. Conway will eat trolling motors and props for snacks and make Lower units the main course.
How many boats were tore up the first crappie masters on Conway? 7 I think..? All running wide open..... They stated "But I was in the trail"

I run fast across the lake... The Faster you go, the harder you hit... The more damage, You cause. I am on that lake more than anyone... I travel every trail regularly.. Still I hit stumps, I don't care.... I have plenty of spare parts...

Slab, I think I launched right before you at Lowarance Landing a couple of weeks ago..?
