It's been since March that Ive had a bad day on the water. Today on Conway It was nice to launch my boat at my house and go out and catch a limit of nice keepers. My last trip on Dardanelle Dear Old Dad caught his biggest a 2.7lb nice one, he does that allot fishes behind me and nails the big one often. Love Ya Dad. Conway the fish are around the trees and bitting dark body colors/chart tail in the middle of the day and bright colors early in the morning. Had a limit by 2pm. Tight Lines Guys...
Nice fish!!
Nice pics!
Always great to fish with dad or kids. Sounds like a good day on the water.:highfive What no pictures in your kitchen today?:biggrin
Man great catch and story. Wish my dad would fish with me but after having a lot of cancer removed from his face and arms he don't get in the sun anymore.
Nice catch CP. hope you have many more with your dad.
Wow. Very nice.
I can't catch a fish on Lake Conway to save my soul. I spend all day with the wind blowing me onto a stump and trying to get off, just to blow to the next one. Overcup is same way. I'd LOVE to figure out Lake Conway, it's right here.....much cheaper. But I'm too dumb. :)
Those are very nice.
Buckrub you can bring a long jig pole and get out there in the trees with me sometime. Don Blakely is a good guide to hire to teach you the ropes on Conway and would be well worth the money if you hire him.Quote:

So we quit and decided to go to Lake Conway the next day. Got there by following 286 out of town and driving thru some State wildlife property. My son lives in Conway and had had some luck in that area a week or so before. We fished using lots of different colors, shapes and sizes of jigs. Even had a minnow or two left from the day before and tried them. My son caught 5 decent sized crappie but I only caught a couple. I need to get him in contact with you some time so he can learn a few tricks of the trade on Conway. I have fished it before with him on several occasions and had about the same luck. It is so convenient to get to and launch his boat but I really like Brewer. Have you fished it lately. Hooker from NC
