Thanks for the reports Dano. Between your and CEB's reports we should know when they start biting on Conway.
Sorry for such a late report, but it's been pretty busy for the past week. Sunday before last, I found a few in 8'-9' of water at Conway up in the pond. Sittin' just off the bottom along the northern bank. Caught on some of Dan's best Rosy Reds. Action wasn't fast, but I'd guess that the best fishin' was that afternoon. Had a few good'uns in there with 3 of 'em right at the 2lb mark. Y'all better get out there and get some slabs.

dan do you run the boat dock on gold creek
yes sir,launch,bait shop,boat rental-25$ a day boat with motor.45 a day nice lowe boat,15 hp motor,2 swivel captain seats,foot control trolling motor, and live well. I even offer a bass tracker loaded-100$ for a full day! for the lake report sunday and monday.1 limit per day i did see!it was slow to fair.with most people having a hard time getting a mess.a couple guys getting 9-15 fish in 6-7 hours.the secret seemed to be 1 certain color combination.doodling.deep and on structure.might be a little more to it.Ill let yall know when i figure it out.and oh yeah,test it out.yesterday evening i saw a livewell so full,there was no room for water,or the water was out-they were stacked 4 inches from the top.Hey CEB and LRJOE this was the same guy that was out here limited out 2 weeks ago,he had a buddy with him,there had to be 2 limits in there!
Thanks for the report, Dan. That guy in the carharts must really know what them crappie want...Think you could catch him on film?:D
yeah Ill second that! definate going to check it out next time he is here. Today about 6 fisherman 2 regulars-had 6 fish.bad slow.i think the barometer was falling.oh well tomorrow another day
CEB gave me a report on what he was doing. I did not think that he was doing anything much different than we were. Crap, that makes me mad.
CEB and I will hire us a Privite I and sick him on that guy.
I guess I'm gonna have to start fishin' in his livewell...:D
Dan The 2 Guys On Monday One Of Them A Regular And One A New Guy Did The New Guy Say Where He Was From
hey hotdawg,no the buddy didnt say.the regular guys name is kevin,they were both in a hurry to go.I think their from L.R. todays report is out of 6 boats 2 caught 7 & 8 fish.4PM-slow!
Where is Gold Creek and this baitshop everyone is talking about?
gold creek is 4-5 miles north from the mayflower exit on hwy 365,short gravel rd down the end on the right.between the freeway and hwy 365.still pretty slow here.last 2 days not but a few boats.1 had 3 fish another had 12 keepers.today 1 man had 12 with 2 at 2lbs
Dan, was the guy who caught the 12 fish today the mysterious "carhart man" mentioned earlier in this thread? I saw a guy out there today wearing carharts and he had an orange hat on...He looked pretty cold...:)...Appeared to be casting a jig under a slip cork...I've seen one other guy at there who wears carharts as well, but he wasn't there today (at least when I was)...Wasn't sure who I needed to be watching.... ;)
His boat is a silver boat (don't know the brand), and has a steering wheel in the middle on the right side. He is very tall, and looks like he just fits into that drivers seat.
CEB (Columbo) tracked him one day. He may even know what size pant he wears. He may can give more info.
yeah i forgot to mention the carhart bib man was here sunday late afternoon,yes he is one that caught 12 keepers,watched a little as CEB said he's working 2 jig poles 1 in each hand.jigs 7-8 ft deep,picking them up slinging them out front letting them fall slow.works on the slowest days.yesterday carhart slip bobber man had 12 with the 2 at 2 lbs.bibman was fishing brushpile in the center of bottleneck just before you get in the pool
