Some Darn good Fishing Buddy's/Conway 10-21 & 22

Met up with my Open Seat Monday fishing Buddy Jason AKA/C.COM JJohnson we caught several good fish and some 2 lber's. Casting small bright colored crappie stingers with a bobber tipped with minnows. and verticle jigging lilly pads. It was a great day with a fair bite that boated 35 good fish for us. Jason was a great partner and caught a couple of Conway hogs and several other nice fish. LOL He has allot of cleaning to do as all fish were given to my new friend and buddy Jason, I had a great time Jason hope to do it agian sometime. I was honored that you took a day off to go fishing with me. Here a couple of Pics of Jason's day on the water.

Met up with Dennis/Midsouth Pro yesterday morning on Lake Conway and verticle jigged bright colored Midsouth Tubes jigs in Timber at the southern end of Lake Conway. We ended the day with 28 good fish and some thumper Blacks and white crappie. Both Dennis and Jason are some great fisherman. I Had a great time fishing with both of these guys, who have the same passion as the rest of us on this site. I felt really blessed to share time on the water with these guys and hope to do it again soon. Here some pics of mine and Dennis catch from yesterday. FisherGuy, Hoot and SoreLipsNoFish it was nice seeing you guys also.Tight Line...

Let me know when your coming Jerry hope to see you soon. Should be great after this front gets through.

Had a good time Russ, I wish I didn't have to cut that trip short and could have fished the other half of the day but there's always next time. If you guys ever get a chance to go with Russ, take him up on the offer, you will have a good time in the dark angel.

Good trip you guys glad to see everyone catching fish. And nice picts too

Two nice hauls Russ. You guys are killin them Conway Slabs.

Great pics! Nice fish & the scenery in the background is nice too. Love getting out on the water when the trees are changing.

Great opportunity, and nice of you to offer it up CP. That's what this site should be all about, camaraderie and helping each other out to catch more fish! Well played.

Well said. I agree but there's a lot of times when it becomes more of a bragging board than trying to help each other. Especially on the other boards. We have a pretty good group of guys here and I've learned and been helped by almost all of you. I'm not as experienced as a lot of you but if there's anything I can do to help you then I'm happy too. CP is a good guy and a heck of a fisherman and even though I've only driven by Lake Conway and never met CP I have no doubt that I could ask him what I need to do to catch fish over there and he would do everything he could to help me out. We have a lot of guys like that and we are lucky.

Yessir!

Xpress i think what u said has a lot of validity. Slightly off in the sense that maybe not bragging board but Pro staff board. It would be nice to see posts without all that stuff IMO. If you like something then say it but why put it in every post? The posts as long as they give good info on depth, color, water temp, etc wouldn't be classified as bragging IMO. We do have a good group of folks and we heckle each other a lot but nothing personal is meant as far as i can see. Some folks get to fish more than others and post more. That doesn't classify bragging IMO but given a report. Just my two cents. Tight lines!!

Looks like good # of Specks in there too! Nothing wrong with giving a little info but beware if you give too much info it can come back to bite you in the arse sometimes. Conway and Dardanelle Lakes had it proved last year.

Very nice Russ and partners!

if your lucky enough to be on pro staff of a tackle company your going to promote there product that why your on the pro staff to start with!!! there are several on here that are on different prostaffs and i can't say no one over does it advertising there products!!! jw if some one put you on there pro staff and gave you there product to use and talk about you can't tell me you would not except !!!!!!!!

You guys are great!!

Meat i am a rebel lol,

Meat I am a rebel. I am prostaff for jigaholics lol. Nothing special needed except no minners. Nimrod what u say is true about being careful who u share info with on some places. People sometimes tend to want information in the bite but not return the favor when you need it. I do think prostaff gets slung around a lot Jerry. I personally just state what i use for the trip. I have been offered pro staff on fishing related items but turned em down believe it or not. However I am a prostaff for arkansas for a reputable treestand manufacturer but dont put it in every post on here or the hunting forums. Not all guys do that kinda thing you know. Put it in your signature is a better way. Just my 2 cents. Maybe i am wrong in this way of thinking but its amazing what people say and you hear off the forum about this topic. Not intended to bash anyone but give an observation on what some people have noticed.

Nice bag of crappie there russ and good seein ya on the water sunday! Looks like my next trip on rebar alley will probably be sat. Work permitting and always nice meeting fellow crappie. Comers. I plan to start hitting other lakes soon and maybe ill get the pleasure to meet others

Im just here to post pics and story's about my fishing adventures and let you all know about products I like. I really dont have time to worry about who posted this and who's that. For me it's... go fishing... make a post and report and onto the next fishing trip. You either like it or leave it. I will if asked nicely not post details if it means that much to someone or a buddy. Yes I take playfull shots at folks on here every now and then, but only at folks I know well and been fishing with a time or two and they know I mean nothing by it. Now let's go fishing...and thanks for all your kind comments.

Hey Russ, just keep doing what you do. Sometimes guys get their feelers hurt, but they get over it!! Its part of what makes this site great, imo. A lot of the products talked about on here are new to me, and its nice to hear about them because it helps me make a decision when i am in the market. But i want to hear how a person is pleased/displeased with that product due to personal experience, not out of obligation. Defeats the purpose and is counter-productive imo. But hey, what do i know?


(C.J.)

Thanks Chris...Next time your in Bates try a spool of 8lb Mr Crappie Camo Line. It has one of the best breaking strengths of any mono line in it's class. Great for jigging in those clear water shallow water pads, grass, and stumps or casting. When fish are shallow in pretty clear water like Conway gets... is where a good camo line shines silver sides. Ive been using it and have really liked it. Its 5 bucks something for 500 yards. Give it a try I would be interested to know what you think.

Thx. I have a spool of the Mr. Crappie hi-vis 8# in the mail. If i like the line i will consider the camo. It will be hard to steer me away from Stren lo-vis though!


(C.J.)

Stren lo vis is a good strong line I ust to use it exclusively... just all of a sudden got hard to find around here. Probly one of the best forgotten about lines on the market.

Well I lurk more than I post because I still very seldom have a lot to post about...still learning and trying things i read about on here. But I have gone to Nimrod 3 times this summer and caught 15 to 20 10 inch fish because of comments posted by Nimrod or others...jig 1/8 ounce purple chartreuse or spiderring 8 ft deep. I fished Piney Chute last year on my way back from up around Booneville and caught 20 or so against one of the walls on some brush found while spiderigging.....because a month earlier some of the people posting here had posted their results. I apprecaite everyone that tells how and why they do things...and my guess is there is a lot of people helped by this information that never post or respond...but when asked...how did you learn or hear about that....they say...hmmm crappie.com

Glad to see ya post bass where ya from. I dont mind showing ya thing or too if you dont mind learning from a jigaholic prostaffer.
