Today on Conway

At the cove, 30 yards either side of the bridge, white/chart Southern Pro tube, 1/16oz jig (with added weight to keep line down with 73 knot winds), trimmed CrappiePro style, and nibbles. 10 FOW 6 feet deep... we kept 16, but caught 24 bazillion crappie.


BTW, there were 50-11 boats up there, and not many catching fish. When you caught a fish, it looked like running of the bulls with the boats running towards where you were. At 1 point I had a little trolling motor trouble, and was doing a 30 second fix. By the time I got back to the front of the boat, another boat motored up between me and the spot I had been in for 30 minutes. I still caught more than he did :Rofl

:cheers2

Been letting the weekend warriors fight wind and falling water here. The campgrounds and boat ramp parking are full but fish cleaning stations pretty empty.:twocents

X2, I don't fish weekends!

I ended up out there this afternoon too. Took my daughter out for a little quality time. We also caught a zillion dinks with a few keepers thrown in. We only caught fish when pulling minnows at a fast drift or casting jigs. They wanted it fast today, didnt see anyone else catching. LM, did you see us out there? 16' camo flatbottom, little girl in the back?

Not sure, SO MANY BOATS!!! We got outta there about 13:30. I had to really pay attention when I caught a fish to make sure I didn't drift into another boat. But It was still a fun experiance.

You are right about FAST!! Only caught fish when drifting with the wind or going up wind on 3.

That guy tied to the bridge was flat wearing them out casting jigs. Not sure if the kidos were catching, but everytime I asked them if they were having fun, they said they were.

X3 I'm sitting at work. I drove by Gold Creek on the interstate and Dan's place was over flowing with folks. I guess crappie season is officially open! :Rofl

sounds like you'll did good

Good Jon LM Glad you had a Good Day...I was pulling for ya and glad the Crappie pro style trim worked for ya.

Welcome to what Conway has become, it is happening now no matter what species you fish for, I think I may take out a front page ad in the news paper ever time I catch a fish. Lol!!!!! Man that will be a lot of ads.

I was on Conway this weekend, my first time to be there, and I saw several boats but really not as many as I expected. What I did see was the most yo-yo's I've ever seen in my life! I saw one tree with 8 y0-yo's and they belonged to 3 different parties! I couldn't hang around there long. I figured I would get to see some :bash

Sounds like a cause for a fight. I don't hang YO yos in other people trees. I expect them not to do the same.

Those folks were good people. They actually didn't have problems. Had a couple of them camping beside me and everyone was helpful to each other.

The folks that were pole fishing were pretty tight lipped though!! I was too though! Lol
