Can't Sleep...

OK... It's 1:50 and my back is hurtin', and I can't sleep!. What can I talk about here?, Am I the only one awake here?
Ok I'll ask a question...How far is the Toad Suck RV Site, or camp site, from a good winter fishing area on Conway Lake.
I've never been there before, so I know nothing about that area.
I've got crappie fever really really bad, but my back has got me holed up in the house, and I can't take it much longer, I can even smell crappie...or is that me.
I've got crappie fever so bad I've been munchin on chartreuse crappie nibbles while watching fox news, now my wife won't get near me...sissy butt women, what happen to love for better or worst...huh?
She says one of us has to go crappie fishin', she can't take my behavior no more,.....so tomorrow nite I'm expecting she will be bringin' in a mess of slabs in for supper yum yum.
Anyone wanta come over for crappie and beer?

Hey cowboy, I can answer some of those questions for
ya, less than 10 miles from toad suck rv park to some good crappie fishing on Conway, and if the ole back is hurting, get crown royal, it helps my back be better after about a fifth, beer and fillets don't sound to bad. Just a long drive to get there, afraid ya may have all the beer drank by the time I got there.

Darn buddy, your a glutton for punishment! I've had enough cold for a few days. But I might go Rabbit hunting this weekend. Good luck!

I do hate to be whipped,,it usually takes me several whippings to get convinced...lol, This may be #2....lol Good luck on the wabbit hunt'n.....

CC Toad Suck is about 5-6 miles west from Gold creek on the Arkansas River out HWY #60 it has Hook Ups. On the east side of Lake Conway there is a RV park in the Camp Robinson WMA demonstration area. Niether is real close to Gold Creek which is where I would winter fish.You may check with Dano and see if he can let you stay right on Gold Creek if you can do the primative thing. Also Gold Creek is close to several Hotels where you can lay in a comfy bed with that back of yours. Most all the Primative spots are on the east or south side of the lake which has allot of stumps between them and Gold Creek. I would not advise you to try and run your boat on the lake with out knowing it. But you can run the creek channel at Gold Creek pretty safely but still at a slow speed and is close to good fishing. Check with Dano he may be able to hook you up right on the creek.

Hey Yall... Man I tell yall ya, you guys are great... It's kinda like we been friends a while, yall make me feel good here.
I just had a drink of Mr. Dickel, and hope that will help the back, shoot it sure can't hurt!
Man I can't wait til I can get down there and fish with yall, it's nothing like fishing with friends and crappie, and maybe some Mr. Dickel, or Markers Mark...lol.
Thanks for the info. Russ, hey and btw my name is Gary Meadors, not Carl.. just sayin'.

CrappiePro... I would need electric hook up for my electric space heater. I'll be sleeping in the back of my truck under the fiberglass topper on the truck.
I don't care about anything else, but I need heat for sure, can they supply that? That's why I thought Toad Suck would be the only one with elect. hook ups?

CC- I feel your pain with my back. I am in the middle of running test right now. If I have to give one more ounce of pee or blood I am going to die. They have run me through every machine know to man. I am begining to think they are milking my insurance. I have found the best thing for my back is to get up on the weekend and go fishing. Its mind over matter. I am sure by the time this is all over the Doc is going to tell me I am getting old. I will wake up in the morning at 3:30 and head to Reelfoot Lake in TN. My back will feel just fine. Good luck CC and everybody fishing this weekend.

Just load yo old bad back up in the truck and come to Greers and I will put you on some fish, they won't be 3 lbers like Grenada but they will make the grease stink.

Billy the one and only time I have ever been to Reel Foot, I was taking pain killer like pop corn, a month later had my second back surgery. You know what they say the first back surgery leads to the second. Oh we did catch a bunch of fish while we were there.

Yea Creek - This is the time of the year for Reelfoot. I you dont mind all the shotgun blasts. If it dont pan out I might be at Greers Sunday. The wind is suppost to be light.

HAHA maybe I had a drink or too two Gary I start slurring n forgetting names in stuff .

Well I think Dano has electric right there on the creek. He lives there and the last time I checked his lights were on. Im not sure if he has any spots with electric or not but you can PM him and ask?

OK CC called Dano at Gold Creek he said yes he has space with electric if you want to fish Conway. Give him a call... here is his Number 1-501-607-0590, said the fish are bitting pretty good right now. You can be right on the creek hop in your boat and your right there. Hows that for service. HAHA!!!

Wow that is service...U da man, thanks CP. I'm not gonna be able to come there til the first week of Jan.
How do you fish for em?, I mainly spider rigg, also like to jig fish with one pole, or cast with small float and slowly retrieve back to boat.

Hey creekslick....I might do that sometime, I've never seen Greers before, I bet it's super deep and clear, and purty.
Maybe sometime we can hook up and fish Grenada a day or two in the spring spawn.

cowboy

CC I like casting a Jig n Bobber in the pool that time of year, but spider rigging, verticle jigging the bank or deeper open water cover works well to. You can also cast a bobber and jig about 12-18 inches deep on the flat right accross from Dano's place and just nail em some days. The trick on the flat is making a Long cast and slow rolling ur bait back to the boat. I like a 1/32 oz chart head and small tube with chart in it, tipped with a nibble. Casting a jig n bobber also works well in the small cove up the creek too. Talk to Dano when you come he is a wealth of knowledge and willing to share with you on what to do when u get there. I'll make it it point to fish with ya and help you out. I dont always catch a mess but ill try my best for ya. See ya when you get here.

Thanks CP for your help, I'm looking forward to fishing with you, and we'll hook up and fish Grenada a few times if you want to.
I got to get some of those small jigs, mostly what I got are 1/8 and 1/4. I got Dano's phone number wrote down and in my
wallet, thanks CP.
Oh.. almost forgot did you go to my website?

crappie cowboy...aka Gary Meadors

Yep Gary I looked at it and Ill put it here for others to look at. Those are impressive Crappie my man. I will be down there this spring. To hunt down a few of those. LOL
Welcome to Grenada Lake Guided Trips!

Good morning, its 2:00 AM....Do you know where your crappie are...lol I need to make coffee...and get my day going.

Blessings
