Conway's/Live Cypress tree bite

Hey guys fished yesterday evening in some mainlake Cypress trees near Parlarm creek landing. Fished from 1PM to dark. Caught 6 during the day time hours, But right at dark it was like the Cypress trees came alive with crappie. Used pearltruce, white n chart, bright orange n pink mid south tubes to catch these. But right at dark a pearltruce MidSouth jig lit there world up, as i caught 8 nice slabs in about an hour left em bitting cos i had to run the boat trails and didnt have a light to run the trails.:eek:. So if you like verticle longpoling cypress trees now is the time to get em. This bite in my experiance will stay hot untill about the middle of May. Go get em.:)

Nice fish CP, lot of fun catching like that.

WTG, thanks for the report.

Good job! Looks like it was a fun day.

Get off at the 229 exit in Conway if you were coming from Little Rock. Take a right this will be hwy 286 which later turns into Clinton Road stay on this for about 6-7 miles look for a sign on the right that says Parlarm Creek Access on right turn there and follow road till it dead ends at the boat launch.
Follow bank to the left till you see a long point sticking out with a pod of live Cypress trees. Beyond that you will see allot of live Cypress trees start verticle jigging the perimeter of those trees. ;) Good luck;)

Good job CP!!! Nuttin' like detailed directions. Hope to see you soon my friend on the water. Give me a call sometime and lets drown some jigs!!!!!

Thanks for the info.

Thanks again for the info. I picked 18 out of the trees yesterday between the storms.

Hey Rookie 40.

Was there any size to those 18?

They were between 10 to 13 inch fish Good Eaters and four really nice red ears and several females that still had there eggs.

Nice catch and good report!

I figure if a man is gonna tell ya where to go and how to go about catchin them you better give a report if you got one to give. I am just starting to venture out of Gold Creek and the advice given was priceless. So once again Thanks CP!!!

Your Welcome Rookie 40, Glad I could help. I love putting info to help people catch fish. Also if you search my threads started you will find a thread on some special tricks on WHAT I USE and how I trim a tube jig With PICS very deadly on Conway and the Arkansas River. Check it out.

10-4 on the boat trails at dark!!!! I used to make that run from Paradise Landing before Dan got his place fixed up. Definately not for a Conway novice. Good redear hole on up in the creek this time of year.

I guess this ain't a new subject afterall.

Nice research CJ, I am going to have to go back and get more reports like this to expand my fishing area!

Yall sure are making me think too hard digging CP's old post up like this. When I read the report I thought "man I missed the spawn on the flats".

thanks CP for the picture and update

CrappiePro makes it look so easy.

LOL Just goes to show you You got to be careful what ya write in here somebody can always go back into your closet of skeletons, and see what your fishing years ago. LOL

I used to fish that exact spot back in the 1980's when I was stationed at Little Rock AFB. Good to know some things never change.

Thanks for sharing CP. I never get tired of seeing and hearing a good day a fishin.

Even though I don't fish lake Conway I distinctly remember this post from 3 years ago. I remember wishing I was up there. Crappie Pro is definitely the man on Lake Conway.

Great catch CP!
