Watched G&FC load the boat

[jigtime]

Watched Matt and his G&FC buddies collect crappie at Lake Conway in the cove. They were catching so
many Matt was not strong enough to lift the nets. Matt how long had the nets been out?

They were out for 24 hours. We will run them the next 2 days as well. The cove is still loaded with crappie. We averaged 150 crappie per net. Very good! The nets were also loaded with redear, yellow bass, and shad. Each net weighed 200+ pounds. Not good for someone with a bad back. This is why we bring a big crew on Lake Conway. Thursday it will be my privalege to show Cmj the ropes, since he has taken me fishing a few times. After he is done, he may think of it more as punishment. Jk. It is always a good time on a netting boat. Most of the time anyway.

We saw several that were between 2 and 2.5 pounds. We also saw so much shad on the sonar. In 10 foot or water the shad formed a false bottom up to about 5 feet. There are still plenty of fish in the cove, to say the least. Right now I imagine they are gorging on shad.

Matt do y'all do any netting on any other parts of Conway during this time of year

We also net in Caney Creek. We sampled there last month. Not as many crappie in Caney like mist years. I think probably due to the lack of runoff into Camry Creek.

Glad to know the fish are there.

Guess I'll go someplace else in the morning. Maybe find one of these secret lakes. Maybe even find a decent report on here again some day. To those of you who made this a good forum and still try thanks) I have always tried to be honest and make good post when I got to go. Which isn't near enough. This is the only state forum that wants to play this buddy click ****. Matt thanks for being up front for a while and doing what you can to help the fisheries in the area and to those who made an effort to make this a good forum. This is my last post I just don't need the games that kids want to play.
