Welcome to the home of the, boat eating, trolling motor busting, prop bending, lower unit smashing, stump filled mud hole called Lake Conway.

Not to mention higher survival rates to fry.

How difficult is it to tight line spider rigging the Gold Creek area or is it just a mess waiting to happen without using floats?

Its doable. Just be quick on reverse with the trolling motor. People do it all the time. I never try to fish more than 4 rods at a time though. I hate having 8 of them hung up on one log or brush pile at the same time.

thanks Guru.
I have had a little luck at the river, but had never rigged at Lake Conway. I didn't know if it would be a big mess trying to tight line shallow or just put some floats on OR maybe just single pole jigging around structure would be better.

Pushing shallow would be tuff as most all the shallows in Conway cover with lily pads, and they are just under the surface now.

Single pole or casting a cork would be your best bet in my opinion, if you are going to try to fish shallow for spawners.

Thanks again Guru. I just picked up 4 new 12' poles and a holder. Would like to try it out, but want to actually bring some numbers home. Do you think I should just go back to the river or try Brewer, Lake Conway, etc? It is still pre-spawn in these areas correct?

I have fished brewer, but with limited success, 10 or 12 a trip pretty open body of water and wind creates a challenge at times, the river is not my cup of tea due to lack of effort to learn it. But most areas are still prespawn here in the central area of the state, however its fixing to happen fast. If your a resident of faulkner county, Lake beaver fork has crappie and to the best of my knowledge get relativly light fishing pressure. If your not a resident it cost to much to launch there.
