Conway 3-14

Well, just like Johnny off the LA board says....when rain or bad weather moves through, you can expect a post from me to follow. I decided to be at Gold Creek at first light on yesterday morning. I figured with a low of 60 degrees on Tuesday night, the fish would be tearing it up out there in the morning. But, fish didn't do anything all morning. The action finally picked up by early to mid-afternoon. From the past few trips, it seems there is a definite afternoon bite on Conway.

It's really strange where I found the crappie. I found all of them suspended about 1' deep over 11' of water. It seems as though they are at spawning depths within the deeper water column. I caught several males that were beginning to put their colors on. I caught all of them on small to medium sized rosies, none on jigs.

The quality of the fish was a lot better than the past few trips. It was probably 2 keepers for every 1 throwback. I took home a limit of 20, with one hawg and the rest 11" or so. The big fish of the day went 2lb 2oz, but it sure looked a lot bigger than that. She was mixed right in with the school of smaller fish.

Once again, I didn't get many pics on the lake. It rained on me the majority of the afternoon, and I didn't want to fry the camera. But, here are pics of the catch and the 2+ hog...

I'm tired of this! seeing you with fish! I'm jelous! I'm ready to fish!

Nice catch CEB...Like always:D

Dang man, you gonna leave any fish for the rest of us? LOL

Ceb, you done it again, bad weather, good report. There is a marsh about an hour from here and that is how we caught them, back before the hurricane. 10-14 foot of water and catching them about a foot deep. Weird thing was that air temp was in the mid to upper 90's most of the time.
Congrats on your catch.

Mister, what are you doing with all those crappie you are catching?
Are you sending back home? Nice looking fish.

You suck. Somebody needs to take one of your boat trailer tires off so there will be fish for the rest of us working stiffs to catch. Call me in the a.m. (3-16-07) if you are going again and if you need a working stiif to go with you so you can bring home 2 limits.

Nice mess of fish and an awesome slab CEB!!!:)

Good looking catch Chris, way to go. I'm taking my boat to work this morning and going to M. Point this afternoon, hope its not too windy.

Stay on em Chris! Good fish!:)

Hey I guess I need to apply for a position on your bucket seat and learn stuff.

Thanks for the kind words guys...well, maybe not too kind.:D Sorry for slipping in these mid-week fishing trips on y'all. It's a lot better than the weekends with all the folks with spring fever.

The fillets from this trip are going towards our fish fry tomorrow. I have a good stock in the freezer, so all the crappie that I've been catching here lately are going to good homes or being cooked immediately by myself.:rolleyes:

And if by some chance I walk outside and see my boat trailer sittin' on blocks....I'll know exactly where to look...;)

You know you can catch fish when half of your buddies are cussin ya, and the other half want to go with...

Chris, I figure if I take one of your tires, I could hold it for ransom so you have to take me fishing again.

Wingshooter, so that's what is going on here?:D ;)

And Helms, just so you know...you don't have to steal my boat tire to take me fishing...:cool:
