Fishing is hard work/Lake Conway

It's been windy, rainy, and stormy here lately on Conway. But Me and my Fishing buddy been bringing in some decent catches in a half day of fishing. We even got in so early one day we cleaned em as soon as we come in and the wife cooked em up for us. We found this "what I like to call a special tree" and it was just loaded with keeper crappie. Titan pointed em out and gave em hell as I was yanking em over the bow of the boat. Well you can see the results after we got our belly's full. Fishing is hard work.:biggrin

That is a really great pic, Russ. It was the same for me my last time over there. I would fish through an area without a single bite, then I would hit that "magic" tree, and bam, bam, bam!!! Caught 8 keeper Blacks off of one tree. Pretty fun when you find em.

You need to take it easy on Titan. He's plumb wore out. Ole Titan needs to fish with us. We got some shade and water and would bring a dog bisquit or some baloney. Titan would be in dawg heaven. Carol has a soft spot for weenie dawgs since she grew up with one. Who knows, we may get lucky and show Titan a fish to fuss at, but it probably wouldn't be as many as you show him.

One of my first questions to the Good Lord (after begging for a while) is gonna be "Lord, why did you give us 75 years and a dog only 12?"...........

Great question. I found a puppy last year at the boat ramp at Lake Atkins. It was right after the ice storm. Some jerk just left him there to die, so I took him home. My wife fell in love with this dog. I have never seen anything like it.

Stop and think what we as dedicated crappie fisherman goes through on a typical Crappie fishing trip or a tourney. Driving, getting equipment ready, loading it, and using it all day, fighting and landing fish, loading/unloading the boat, facing the elements, cleaning and cooking the fish, getting snags out, retieing, putting attractors out, repairing & buying new equipment... Cussing out someone who trys to horn you out of your spot. The list goes on and on. Wicked Crappie!!! I love my dog, and I am proud of each and every one of you. Well for the most part. LOL

CP, you make it sound like crappie fishermen are a tough breed. Well, maybe we are, but you are one of the toughest by far. I have seen you fish some of the worst weather there is and still hoot and holler like a kid in a candy store. You play it off like fishermen are just tough, but not many will tough it out all day long in some of the conditions that you fish in. I tell you you are one of the toughest dudes that I know.
