Caught fish all over Gold Creek today me and a buddy fished and took home 38 keepers, had some fish allot bigger than these which a friend took home before i could get a pic. Fish were bitting everywhere it seemed as we caught them at the I-40 bridge, in a big laydown in the creek, and in the pads. A fun day indeed. CP
Awesome! I do not fish lake Conway much because it drives me nuts, which stump, pad, grass patch, log are you suppose to fish around??!! It is aggravating for me. I have fished or tried to fish the pool before, mostly in the spring with friends but have not every done very good, and the few times that I did go were on beautiful Saturday mornings when there were so many people back there that I do not see how people were fishing. I have never tried it in the fall, but if I get rained out at work this week I may try to sneak out there, it is a lot closer to drive from Vilonia than Greers, so it might be a good place for me to try on weekdays. I'll post if I do get to go, regardless how I do.
WTG:cool::):D Glad your catching them. Need any water? We got about 15' too much on Nimrod Lake!:eek::(
WTG there CP! I knew you'd get goin' again. We're still bringing in some strings here in SEArk too. Keep it up! :)
BTW there CP....Is that mamma's bed sheets? :eek:
The annual fishing in the "Pool" during Fall is a much anticpated event for me. Yes, there are many boats. But, it reminds me of sort of going to church. I see people there that I haven't seen in a while and we renew aquaintances. It is unimaginable to me how many crappie could be in that hole during the Fall and Winter. I get a kick out of watching the different methods people use. I love to anchor around known brush that has produced before. But, this year I am going to master spider rigging.Quote:

I hope to meet some of my on line buddies there this year. I have one more weekend comitted to other than fishing. But, then I am taking a whole week off to stay in the pool.

You know you got a good women when she lets you clean fish in the kitchen.:D I made sure that was put in the pre-nump before we got married:DQuote:

Then after meeting several good folks allot of them who fish or fished gold creek who took the time to help me out. I then started to realize that its's the sharing of knowledge that will keep our sport growing and not the selfishness of our pride. So if you see a camo wareagle with the words USS Shelly Ann on the back come up and say hi. But just wait till im two fsh away from my limit before you do.:DQuote:

I know this is probably crazy but if the rain stops in time I might go out today, I don't know. Im n a duracraft with a 25 merc. on the back of it.
My first year to fish the pool, an old man with a one man bass buggy tied up to me. We fished together like that for a couple or three days. I haven't seen him since.Quote:

Wish4fish..
You can't hardly mess anyone up in there. Some people catch them everyday. But, for the most part, you either are the one catching them or one of the two or three trying to figure out how the other is catching them. I have been there and be the only one catching them then the next day I throw everything in the boat at them with nothing; while I see other people mopping up. Come join....

Great fun!
I took a buddy of mine from out of state to the pool. He still laughs about fishing in the middle of a neighborhood. The day we were there we got to watch CEB do his magic with spider rigging. He was pulling em in pretty regularly. In fact, that particular day, it seemed most folks were catching em. My buddy and I were lucky enough to be among them. We're hoping for a return visit soon.
I am looking on google maps,is the pool West of the old highway with a small bridge at the entrance?
yea thats it,accessible by boat only-unless you own land in there.
Thanks Dan. I may see you Friday.
Look for Wilhelmina Cove Rd Conway, AR
The little pond you see is 'the pond'. Look to the east and you will see a RR bridge. A bit beyond that is a highway bridge and Gold Creek Landing Road.
At the end of that road you will find Dan, and his little slice of heaven on Gold Creek. :D
