I know I've got a little while before I have to worry about it, but where do you guys catch them on Conway later in the spring when the Gold Creek bite is over? Last year was the first year I really fished Conway, and once they moved out of the deep water in the cove, I couldn't find them. Do the fish really spread out, or am I not looking in the right places? Anyone have any suggestions/starting points for a guy fishing from a canoe?
gold lake is a great area,i have a buddy that catches them there even in the summer
This has also been a great mystery to me. But, since I go both ways (bream and crappie) I have been succesful in extending my luck on Conway until about mid June. By then I have enough fish to last the summer anyway and I start playing on the pontoon until the fall bite in Gold Creek.
It has been my experience that when I can't drag a jig through the lily pads anymore, I can pick up a few more by tight lining (doodle socking) in the pads. I love to fish where the pads will be though before they get to the surface. About June it really gets frustrating for me. But, this year I hope to have some boo mats in place in some deep holes. The whole lake does not average 6 feet. So, deep is only 8' to 12' that I have found on this lake. Try searching for those areas. Gold Lake is a good one.

Thanks for the suggestions!
