Ice on Conway?

Is the lake still iced over? i broke a bone n my hand today while drilling holes n plywood @ work. I broke my right hand and im left handed so I think I can still run my motor and jig with my good hand. The more I sit idle the more it throbs.:mad: It was a dumb mistake on my part, 2 big of a hurry. Im thinking if i am real easy I might could still fish 2morrow. I sure dont want to hurt it anymore. As of right now I dont even now if I can go or where I would go.


1 more thing, typing 1 handed is a challenge!:D

Sorry to hear that :( Hope you get well soon. I was also thinking of going to Conway. Got a report that the ice was about 2" thick at pearce creek. Anyone else hear anything?

Conway still has lots of ice, but its thin ice, a boat should break it quite easily, fishing tomorrow aint impossible, the pond is thawed out, on the local news tonight they were showing the number of pelicans and gulls that were there. Guess what, their back, thicker than ever, if you could see my boat from the last time I went up there you would want to stay away. I got a good suggestion, to anyone going up there wear rain gear, you will get messed on.if you know what I mean.

the ice has thawed for the most part here.the creek was froze even today.but a couple of guys pushed on through it couple of hours ago now you can get to the pool.lots of shad died off.that ought to help,and the pelicans eat 4lbs a day.the pelicans seemmed to move on since the ice.some 50 or so were on the flat yesterday but moved out-none inthe pool.will hoefully have a good report from the first guys in the pool-will know later.havent seen any fish since the ice.

that boat left out just now had caught 4 nice ones right off then shut off.got 2 other boats headed for the pool.good sign to see at least 4 fish better than it had been

Danogoldcreek... Thanks for the update. Let us know if the other two boats do anything.

Very nice pics/setup dano

May have to come see you Dan.

Dan - Good talking to you yesterday. We finished off with 16 NICE slabs that we took home. My dad and brother fishing in another boat, kept 11. Largest was right at 17" long and smallest kept was around 11 1/2. Wished I would have arrived earlier than 2:00 p.m. but had "honey-do's".

Fish wanted nothing more than a 1/32 oz. head with a stinger tail for me. About 4' deep with the action getting very hot right before dark. Color didn't seem to matter except it had to be on a small head. Those MidSouth "Pencil Tails" look darn good sinking slow on a small head. Sometimes the cork would be going under by the time the line tightened out under the float!

Man....I knew I should have come up there.

I guess they were slower today than yesterday. We fished the pool for almost 4 hours and left with 11 fish, only one real nice one. They seemed to prefer green and white tube jigs about 6ft deep. Couldn't buy a bite on a shiner-didn't have any pink minners to try. Slow bite but a good afternoon on the lake and a small mess of fish for this single man :cool:

well hotrod98, it was a awesome day to just fish, the weather for january was beautiful.
