Post Memorial Day Smackdown

Got a chance to fish again Tuesday mostly by myself. Started a little after 8 and the bite was a little slow. At times when the water would almost glass over the bite would all but stop. It was very overcast, but apart from that, the weather was nice. The water was very stained so I went with glow color cranks first but didn't have but one and lost that one after catching 2 or 3 on it. Switched over to very bright chartreuse, and hot pink, and that seemed to work, but didn't have but 3 of those so I added my favorite, black and bubble gum (I've got to do some bait restocking). Had to slow it down a little to 1.25 mph. I only fished 4 poles since I was by myself and fishing heavy cover. When the sun started coming out the bite picked up immensely and by early afternoon I was near my limit. So my son in law caught up with me and we finished up with 46. Here's a few of them.Attachment 204497

Way to go Bobby. Good catch.

It is funny isn't it? I don't mind people knowing, but I've discovered that the locals get offended if I say where, and some of them thinks it's their lake. PM me if anyone wants to know.

I don't know about that but I'm all in on going fishing again. We've just got to make it happen. I'd like to try peckerwood, I'm sure it's muddy as all get out, but it might still work who knows.

Way to stay with it and figure them out. Nice catch

Sounds like a great idea to me. We'll use your boat and I'll pull you and troll crank baits at the same time. Conway has so many fish we'll have to troll faster anyway in order not to get our limit too soon.
