I've been fishing since I could stand up, but nearly all my fishing has been done in the river bottoms or Peckerwood Lake. I decided to expand my horizons and Lake Conway was the target. I had never fished it and since it was only an hour from where I live I decided I'd learn it. I've learned a lot about that place in the past few years - thanks to all that have helped me out and a good map! Here's a few observations / lessons from my time over there. 1. One man boats have the right-of-way. No questions asked. It doesn't matter if you've been on the same 10' x 10' patch of pads for 2 hours, you must yield to them. 2. I wish that lake was about 30 miles closer to where I live. 3. I'm sure proud the AFGC built that lake, although a lot of people lost their land in the process I guess. 4. Sure seems strange driving through the city to get to a fishing hole full of cypress trees, pads, and gator grass. 5. That lake is slap full of crappie, although if it's not Oct - Feb I can only catch 10 - 12 keepers on a good day. 6. There is a very diverse group of folk that fish that lake. 7. A LOT of people fish that lake. 8. Minn Kota maxxums are fine trolling motors. 9. Catching 14" black crappie out of thick vegetation in 10" of water is something everyone should do before they pass. That's all for now, I have to get back to work. Carry on.
