The Last Sting of Winter/Conway 3-21-13

As I fished along today through the cypress trees of Lake Conway I felt each pelt of sleet take a little of my body warmth with it. The wind, sleet, snow, and rain took it's toll on me as I watched the water temps fall below 54 degrees...I wondered If the crappie were just as crazy as me and if they knew what I was going through up there trying to catch them. I thanked the Good Lord for allowing me to fish through another winter and I realized I was feeling the last sting's of Old Man Winter. Tight Lines

You had to be tough today. Sure hope your right about the last of winter.

You're tough as nails, Russ. You could catch 'em in a blizzard!

nice ones; you are a tougher man than i am for sure

Looks like you earned a few. Hope your right on your statement'' last stings of winter'':fish

Good stuff Russ. I have had good sucess in the past on Conway during sleet and snow. I was wishing I was there with you today. Glad you felt the thump!

Hey fish have to eat in the bad weather too!!

any day on the water is a great day even if it show and sleet

Nice! Those are definitely well earned in today's weather!

Nice catch Russ. I hope ist gone. We have 2-3 inches of snow on the ground up here in jonesboro.

I feel your pain...luckily that sleet doesn't penetrate clothes like rain.

I noticed every cow I passed was up and grazing as I drove my 2 hours to my family's camp sight, where my boat is, and I still can't get into it. I wondered if the fish would be biting as the old saying goes.

Snow here too!
Wish the water temps were 54 here. More like 46.

Enjoy that sleet and cold while you can Russ! I hope this is the last of it for a while..

You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take country out of the boy

I sure hope your right about the last sting of winter part. Good job

Went this afternoon and got one bite. Hope it is better tomorrow.

You my friend are the best crappie fisherman in central Arkansas you catch them in 110 degree heat as well as a late winter/early spring cold front. Good read and pics as usual sir.
