Caney Creek/Passing out limits of keepers like Pop-Corn/Money Fish/10-19-11

Three days in a row I have limited out with keepers and a few slabs from Caney Creek. It has been a great four days of crappie fishing. Been seeing some bigger fish show up but the bite is still mainly allot of 9-11 inchers. Caught a nice tagged fish today could be worth up to 100 dollars. This was my fourth tagged fish caught on Conway. A Yellow/Char Midsouth tube with Chart red eyes 1/32 oz head did em in today. Most all my fish were caught from the little nooks and craney's of opening's through the Gator grass. Thanks Midsouth Man for the tip on the Yellow and Chart tube. I have also seen Two different boats using slip bobbers and minnows fishing shallow along the edges catching some nice fish. Crappie Surveyor Nice seeing you and your partner on the water today.

Congrats on the tagged fish, if it's 100 dollar one that would buy a tank of gas and some jigs for your next trip.Hands Clapping

WTG Russ! Wish I were up there. Are you chasing deer this weekend? I am down to 2 packages of deer steak in the freezer out of the 5 deer I had processed last year. I will be smoking the Thompson Center Omega Sat morning!

Nice catch Russ. I haven't been on Lake Conway since the early 70's, but looks like that is going to change. I keep seeing Pics coming out of there, and I'm only few miles away. See ya after middle of November.

Is Caney Creek Still Hot?

I'm looking for a good place to take catch a mess of crappie later this week. I'm not very familiar with Lake Conway. Anyone know if Caney Creek is still producing crappie? Also, can I launch a 17ft aluminum PT175 at the Caney Creek launch ramp? Thanks!

Fish Slapped

I took my two boys to Caney Creek on Friday since they were out of school. I'm new to crappie fishing (other than sitting on a bank with minnows a few times). We didn't catch a thing until a nice guy fishing from the bank saw us struggling and gave us a couple of pointers. After that, we caught close to a limit. My boys did more playing and fighting than fishing (typical for young boys). But they had fun getting fish slapped when the crappie were bouncing around in the boat. In addition to the near limit we caught, that same man gave us about 10 keepers and another man gave us 1. So we ended up with a nice mess. Thanks CrappiePro and Meatgetter for the tips. And thank you anonymous man from the bank who gave me pointers. Crappie fishermen are good people.

Man Good story...Im glad you caught a nice mess with your boys. Lake Conway has started allot people over the years to begin to love crappie fishing.
Welcome to the board. Read this board and start fishing before long youll be buying a boat, every crappie bait known to man, and looking for the perfect Jig Rod, and you will have precious memory's to last a lifetime for you and your sons. Great Job...

Glad you did catch some specks. Welcome to the forum. I am not as knowledgeable as a lot on here but if I can help just ask, however, if you come to fish Dardanelle I hope you won't be slapping our fish. It makes them pretty angry and they won't bite as well. Now, you can slap all the Conway fish that you want cause they have got everthing bass acwards and won't know the difference anyways. Any crappie that will go hunting shallow water when the temps get colder is kinda funny, if you know what I mean. LOL. And you are right, Crappie fishermen are fine folks.

The Anonymous man you are talking about is named Brian, one of the best Bank Fisherman I know and started fishing Caney creek because of the help I gave him. Kinda neat how the wheel turns.

Thank you for helping Brian who helped me who helped my boys learn how to catch crappie in shallow cover. Maybe we will get the opportunity to pass the help torch on.

Fish Slabbed and CrappiePro, any information will be welcomed. Pass that torch this way. Also, all of my fish is currently from the bank, if you have some bank pointers and ideas on good bank fishing locations I will welcome those as well.

NAPALM909 welcome to the board, If you dont mind introduce yourself on the Arkansas Main board. Allot of folks have already read this post and wont see your name. Caney creek is a good bank spot fishing 2-3 feet deep with minnow just offr the bank or casting a jig n bobber 1-3 feet deep. Other good spots to bank fish is HWY 89 bridge, 286 Bridge, Pierce Creek access, Conway Dam main lake side, Long Casting a jig and bobber on the Flats about 1 foot deep along the Hwy 365 at Gold Creek right accross from Dano's bait shop. I would wait for some stable weather Caney is muddy and flowing right now.
