Midsouth This Bud's For You/Lake Conway/7-13-10

Midsouth Im sorry about your trolling motor brother.:( Hope you come out with me agian and try em agian. Ill show you a move called the Boat Scoot Boggie where you'll never haft to start your motor agian to get off a stump ;) Anyway I fished untill about noon ended up with nine and two nice fish and then it rained and rained and rained, so i gave it up.

Today I was thinking the rain would stop and I was'nt about to let them crappie and lake Conway get away with treating a buddy of mine like that. :mad: So I went after em. Started fishing about 8AM after watching the news Channel 4 who said ohh ya the rain is about over. Boy was he wrong. It was like Rain, then stop, rain and then stop, Then RAIN RAIN RAIN. So after catching these in the picture i gave it up at 15, stopped at about Noon and after a good soaking LOL. Let me tell ya four of em were some fat footballs. I made em Pay for ya brother and this Bud's for you. Going back out there and make em pay somemore.

Hey wait!!! On I am on my way!!! Wait for me!!!

Very nice catch. Way to go!!

Way to go!:D I need to get this work over and get after a few slabs . WW and I kept a limit of whiskers each and turned back several more cat after getting wet on Nimrod today.:o

Finished my limit with these 5 this afternoon and caught most of them today on this. Let me tell ya this was one bad little bug on Conway today. The fish were running good sized and they were flat eating this thing with some hard THUMPS. Man I love crappie fishing.:)

Are you having to do a bunch of culling or is the size running pretty consistent?

I had been catching allot of 7-8-9 inchers, like a couple of those to get a keeper with a tube bait. Then i switched to the lil critter in the pic and i caught less dinks and more slabs. I just had a feeling the fish wanted something a lil different, I made a switch and it paid off big time.

Hey CP,

What's the name of that little critter? :confused: Looks like it worked like a charm.:D Congrats on that limit...again.:D

CP- Thanks for the revenge man! Good news is that my TM is in the repair shop and I should be at it again by the weekend! Nice catch by the way........

It's not a Yum Beavertail, but it looks like one except for the "legs" hanging out. Nice looking bait.

CP, if you ever decide to hold "Crappie School" let me know. I'll bring the T-bones and Country Ribs.

Sign me up too!

Welcome to the Arkansas board K-Graham, you will learn allot from this site, so please don't hesistate to ask if you have any questions. One thing about us, we are never short of words and good advice;) I would encorage you to introduce yourself on the Main and Arkansas boards. I see your from Lake Conway. I look forward to meeting you.

OK CP, the game and fish report says the crappie fishin at Conway sucks so where you been catchin 'em? You had those in the freezer and thawed 'em out to eat 'em right?:p

I can prolly swing an evening trip first half of next week if you think you can swing it.

All I can say is SWEET!!!

Hey Crappiepro, Enjoying the pics. Watched the Crappiemasters tournament on Conway the other night.
If you like that bigger bait you ought to give the YUM Beavertails a try. They will hang onto them things like you wouldn't believe.
I personally like the Pumpkin/Chart. on an 1/8 or 3/16 oz. Crappiepro head. A dab of superglue to hold them on or the crappie will pull 'em right off the jighead!:)

Slab Bandit thanks and i just bought a bunch of those a lil while back. It's funny u put that lure up right now, cos i have been thinking hard about using it the next time im out there on Lake Conway. Those are some great pics, and of you n your dog (Funny Stuff Brother) and that is one heck of a crappie you got there, did you catch that on Nimrod? Ive been wanting to get out that way, if me and a certian fellow out there can ever get our schedules together.:)

Thanks Crappiepro. Yea I caught this one a while back but I think it was a 2& 1/2 pounder. I forgot to mention to pinch the nose off off the Beavertails first. This shortens up the profile. Look carefully at the second pic. and you'll see what I'm talking about.
I've caught some big crappie on these and a lot of dinks too. I'm always amazed at how long they will hold onto this YUM stuff.
Maybe we can hook up some day and visit each other's lake!:)
