Pre-Fishing Lake Conway Tournament/Pics

Hey Guys Me and my Partner have been pre fishing for the upcoming Crappiemasters Tourney on Lake Conway Thurs, Fri, and Sat and let me tell you- all the lake has been on fire. We have probly caught and released over 100 1-3 lber's in the last three day's. The best fishing I have enjoyed since
the last draw down in 06. The females r all still full of eggs and if we get this next 3-4 day warm up like predicted LOOK-OUT, this will be a weigh-in you won't want to miss. The ones on the table and pictured with my partner r just some we kept to eat because we thought they wound not make it if released. I can't remember how many coolers of live fish like pictured we released, but let me tell ya they r still alive and swimming out there somewhere. Now after all this braggin don't you all, be too hard on me if only Minners r bought to the scales. :D Even if you are not fishing the tournament I hope you all come to the Weigh In-s and use this Forum to meet and greet others who enjoy this sport called Crappie Fishing. God Bless All and please be safe on the Water.

Hey Crappie Pro,

What time is the weigh-in? Same time each day? Have to miss Friday's because of out of town trip but don't want to miss Saturday's. Are you staying with your prediction on the winning weight, or raising or lowering it? Glad to see you getting some of them bigguns located. Sure would like to see a local win it all. :D That would go a long way toward paying off that new ride of yours, wouldn't it! :D:D

Hey Ski, yes weigh ins will be 3:30PM-4:30PM both days at the Camp Robinson Special Use Area Pavalion Mar 26-27, 331 Clinton Rd Mayflower AR.
Take the HWY 89 exit off Hwy I-40 head east through Mayfower till you see Clinton Rd on the left, think its about three miles out of town. Turn left and stay on Clinton Road till you see the area/Weigh in signs on the left. They will also be having a kids rodeo going on to. Check CrappieMasters.com for specifics.

LOL yes Ski, I hope to stay on these Fish for the next six days,:D but you know how it goes sometimes, one day they r there the next day your scratching your head. Makes finding them that much funner. I think the winning weight will be around a 2lb average for 28lbs from what im seeing caught, you never know what the pressure from fishing will do to em tho. Hope to see ya Sat SKi at the weigh Ins.

You're allowed to bring uncleaned fish in the house??? BRAVO my man!!!!! BRAVO!!!!

I guess it's too much to ask how you were catching them: minnows, jigs, depth, cover, etc.? I know it's too much to ask where on the lake you were catching them.

Well, it now appears I can't go until Sunday when the tournament will be over. Maybe we can get some detailed reports then.

I bet Russ has got the CrappieMasters Paparazzi all over his hiney right now.

I think tailin' Russ is a pretty good stategy...matter of fact, sittin' behind him in the back of his boat is a darn good place to fish!:o

Heck no. Cold, hot, rain, or snow. I go straight from the river to the shop. My fishing clothes are washed in the shop too.

This is all done so them pants of the house that she does wear come off a few times a week. Fair trade me thinks.

Hey CP, I think I will fish Conway also. I do one event every year and that one seems to be the only one I can fit in! I'm in for a treat, I don't think I have ever fished a lake that shallow! I'm use to catching fish in 30 or so feet of water! It will be a blast though!!
