The big fish have stayed out in the main lake this year, the fishing pressure has taken it's toll and they have gotten smart, if ya want big crappie or atleast bigger than 8 to 11 in crappie you will have to find them on the main lake. Fishing pressure has taken it's toll, fishing pressure is why the hiway 89 bridge is no longer the hot spot on Conway. I basically live on lake Conway and have for the better part of thirty years, people know me around the lake and I know them and they are telling me that the yo yo fisherman are taking advantage of the fact the big fish stayed in the main lake this year and they are mopping up on them.
You can't beat the taste of them ole fried SLABS N TATERS!!
