Conway's Super Sized Males/Cypress Tree Bite

I just love pulling those two lb supersized males out of the trees. Been catching some good ones every trip between the rains. Verticle jigging trees in 5-6 feet of water with black and Chart or white in Chart colors. Slow bite for me but when you get one hold on. They are really mean and will test your tackle at every turn around those big ole Live cypress trees. They are the biggest most beautiful males you will find anywheres. Tight Lines.

You are the man CP

Nice! Can't wait to get back up to Conway.

Do the crappie in Lake Conway taste good? I quit bream fishing over there because those summer time bream had a woody flavor. I fished at Toledo Bend last spring and the crappie there had a woody flavor.

Look mamma. No hands.

Russ those are some nice fish. You're right those big males will give you a fit. Are they on beds or just scattered?

Nice fish Russ , I got to get out Wednesday afternoon and only ended up with 10 but they were good fish, all males , fish were really scattered and hard to find but they hammered it when I did get bit !! Thumbs up !!

Awesome! Good for you.

They are on beds scattered in isolated clusters or isolated large live cypress trees in 5-6 feet of water. 5-6 feet deep...I have had a hard time getting any bites deeper or shallower than that.

Good catch buddy!!

That may have sounded "corny" but I was serious. Thanks for the info. Looks like I will be going back there. I have a lot of fond memories on Lake Conway because that is where my great grandfather started taking me when I was 8 and he was 81. He rented a wooden boat at Palarm Creek landing and skulled us around all day long and I remember those huge bream.

what do you think those weight Russ? sure some nice hogs

Catching several big males around 2lbs to 2 1/4. They are in the 15-16 inches. Ball park.

Great fish!

Those are some hogs CrappiePro, you're lucky to live close to such a great lake... :ThumbsUp

Nice haul Russ. Those are some pigs.
