Conway- Adams Lake

Had nice day on lake, slow, but still trying to learn this crappie fishing. Only had one keeper. Got little pissed off at unsportsmanlike fisherman. Was a dead duck caught in a trout line. Cut that one out, pilled It up. Then found 5 more within 10 yards tied to trees. So not to get off topic, but spent next hour clearing out old lines.

Chartreuse/ Pumpkin seed was only color I had luck on. What colors have some of you been having luck on? Still trying to get good selection of colors. Probably have too many choices already.

Anyone have areas to try in that area? Was fishing edge of lake where trees started. Had few that I missed plus one that made it into Love Will but then seemed they just stopped. This is my first year trying out jigging so trying to build confidence in the method but its slow process.

Hope everyone had safe and good new year's.

Live bait seems to be the ticket right now. I am new to this also and it have come to realize that it just takes time to learn. Can't catch on over night. Good luck for 2014.

We fished close to there up at Arts Pond today but didn't get a bite. Me and my cousin fished around Adams Lake a couple of years ago in November using minnows and caught a good limit two weeks in a row! I haven't fished Conway much.

Just keep at it and you will get hang of it in no time. Thanks for cleaning up.

Thanks for input. Have done the minnows in past, was trying to get better at Jig fishing this winter, but may break down and buy minnows next outing. How deep down are you fishing them? Or just off the bottom? The one I caught today was in 11 fow, at about 5 foot down, but trying to figure out if it was me, the fish, the lure, location, or depth, most likely combination of all of them for reason I only brought one into boat.

Just off the bottom with Rosie red minnows.

Thanks. probably give that a try next time around. Depth might have been my problem too, I was fishing half way down water depth.

Good fish Aaron!

Nice fish bud

Nice fish Aaron! Don't get discouraged. I can't even remember the number of times I have been skunked out there. It is all part of the experience. :biggrin

Good fish, use the depth finder and see where you are marking fish. I usually start off with 10 ft line and let my jig go slow to the bottom holding the line tight as it descends. This way you fish the whole water column till you find where they are at.

you can't grow potatoes planting pumpkin seeds stay on the forum sharing good info and taking notes and your harvest will be great! oh and remember to make soil test all ground is not good ground. hope we can help as we learn to be better

good fish AR_Aron

Very nice fish Aaron!

Good job Aaron

Thanks for the pic!! And good fish.

Good job Aaron, hang in there and stay tuned to this site. These guys are a great help and basically saved 2013 for me. But I had to get out of my comfort zone and do new things and go to new places to get things to happen. I haven't fished lake Conway in over 25yrs can't even remember much about it but I'm wanting to get over there soon and see what happens.

You just have to put in time. I am new to lake Conway. It's my Second year. I kinda have two areas figured out. It will pay off eventually. Red,white,pink,black with chartreuse usually does it for me depending on time of year. Play with those AMD maybe a electric chicken might get ya started. That's what I've picked up on so far...
