CP/DP's Fishing Adventure/Lake Conway

Met up with DP near my house on Lake Conway, fished from 6AM-Noon caught a nice Mess with several decent fish and some smaller. Here is some pictures of tis mornings action. White and Chart Midsouth tube took center stage agian tis morning. LOL DP was filleting em about as fast as I could hand em to him.:p You all know what a mess of crappie looks like anyway. DP it was fun meeting you on the water tis morning lets do it agian soon brother.

The last pic is a tree off Gold point I call ole Spooky, cos it's spooky to think about all the crappie thats been caught off it over the years. Find this tree and run your sonar from about my camera angle 5-15 feet and you'll know why they call it ole spooky.;)

Dang it!! I thought I was close to the right area. Been hanging a left when I should have been veerin back to the right.

Nice catch boys!!

Way to go, guys. Did the thunderstorm run you off the water?

Good for yall, looks like yall had a fun trip

if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to get struck by the stuff that made the thunder.

I can fish in the rain and I can fish in the cold, but I get off the water when I start hearing thunder cause lightnin' ain't too far behind it!:D Had a secretary one time whose boyfriend was at Millwood fishing and didn't get off the water and got struck by lightning and was killed. That'll make a believer out of you...or at least it should. No sense in taking chances.

How deep is the water yall fishing? What is the temp of the water their? Just trying to learn so new stuff. CP, I tried some of your ways and had some good luck. I fished about 5 ft. deep the last time i was out and had some good luck caught some bigger fish
Thanks for the info guys.

Backwood's I am fishing the shade of cypress in water 5-7 feet deep, water temp is around 88-89 degrees. Im glad you had some good luck trying my ways. That's what im here for. Im getting old and the thought of meeting my maker without passing along a life time of crappie fishing knowledge is not what i feel the good lord want's me to do.:) I love verticle jigging.;)

What is your favorite color in stained water, and clear water? Seems like i dont catch as many or as big of fish in clear water as i do in stained water. Any tips on clear water? I noticed that you fish with a colored jig head, does this make a difference? I use a 1/32 jig head with no color,and 1-1/2 tube jigs, any ideas on what to try, and where do i get them at? Your an awesome fisherman, maybe one of these days i will have pepole asking me were and how to catch em. Thanks for any info,sorry for all the questions. You say you are getting old maybe we can put a wheel chair ramp in your boat to keep you around for a little while longer.

I have been around a non-operating puter all last week. This is my first chance to reply to "filleting them as fast...."!
Well I am glad we make a good team. You catch them and I will clean them for Ya.
For those that have never fished around Crappie Pro, his name is not just bragging. He gave me a couple of jigs, showed me how to rig them, and even told me where to fish them; and still put it on me. I was kind of disappointed he didn't tie them on for me. I thought it was the least he could do.:D
I will start my own thread to recap last week for you. I have some interesting tales.
