Don't be surprised if you get skunked out there , you'll be second guessing yourself almost right away , just got to spend the time and move a lot fish as many trees as you can, one of the toughest lake you can fish in summertime

I will say it one of my least like lakes in Arkansas. I almost rather fish in a 5 gal bucket then fish Lake Conway. Now I know there others that love fish it. I don't.
All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

I can see why folks don't fish Conway in the summer. The whole trick is knowing what trees are productive and going right to them to verticle jig them. I have about 50 trees or areas of trees I have confidence in that hold fish consistently in the summer. I don't waste too much time on anything other than those 50 spots running from one to the other. Yes allot of those 50 spots wont hold a fish but just about 10-20 of them a trip will hold fish. You do the math? This only comes from countless hours spent on the lake learning or having someone to show you. When you get to know the productive trees on Conway. Life gets easier in the summer with consistent catches.

I don't know your lake but have one here that sounds like yours..
Like crappiepro I do ok on my lake b/c I know the spots plus in the last couple years I've learned another way.When no one else is catching and I'm just catching a few in my spots I now switch over to a beetlespin with either a 3 or 4 inch curlytail.On my lake it has been putting plenty of crappie in the cooler,summer time crappie are lazy,why waste their time chasing small jigs in this heat.I've learned they will come up 4 to 6 feet just to get the bigger jig.I've cast 1/32 1/16 in the same spot with nothing and cast a beetlespin with a 3 in. Curlytail and catch 4 or 5 .
It may be worth your time to try it on your lake.....
