And thanks for the beers and dinner Chris!

Bringing back some childhood memories there......

Congrats Ronnie, I also noticed your name on weigh in a few times. I really think the lake has gotten a little better since the drought and it filled back up. Hopefully will see the lake get new vegetation in my lifetime. Just wonder if the grass carp will ever die off.

They will die and TPWD will restock them!!!!

On another note fished both days weather Was perfect on Sunday LOL. Won a little money and met some great people.

By the way to all the no grass talk the fish use other things to lay up on, in, and around when you realize that you will find them on Conroe.


Thanks to a well run tournament OBBT looking forward to next year already!!!

Ronnie, you had a good trip and congrats.

I fish Conroe often. I'm not sure what it was but this weekend was one of the best I've ever had. We got 3 checks on sat. 7.67 (won last hour on sat), 5.3 (5th), and 4.17 (7th).

We caught 25 fish in sat. Didn't get to fish Sunday. My son will be grinning for a long time! Thanks Oakley Big Bass!!!

There's no fish in Conroe. They stocked the lake for the tournament.

my homelake!! was wayyy better with hydrilla but still is a good lake

I have been on the lake since 2005 and it keeps getting better. It is tough at times but that makes it interesting and fun. Until two Sunday ago my biggest bass was around 5 lbs. And mainly caught 2-3 lbs size fish. I caught a 9 lb 8 oz that day, never have made it DD but in a few years my story could get it over 10 lbs.

My PB is 8.5lbs off my houseboat in the marina. I do hate the Carp though I bow fish and its stupid we cant shoot them on Conroe. We would barely put a dent in them. Think Conroe's the only lake where Bass only guys like bow fishermen. We at least kill a dumpster full the one day a year they let us.

The people who own that now sure wouldn't let any tourneys go through there now days. They aren't the nicest folks I used to live there on my houseboat.

It doesn't seem to set up well for me from what I've seen on it. I don't like fishing deep and everything I've watched it looks like that's where the weight consistently comes from.

I wish TPWD would electro fish the hell out of it(remove a ton of carp) or at least let us fish/bow fish them, and reintroduce some vegetation.

Nice old post.

With out the grass the fish seem to group up more. It has been a hit or miss lake for several years. Some tournaments are won with 30+ stringer and second place been around 18lb. When you find them you can put a dream stringer together and someone 50 yds. away not catch a fish. The Nation Championship this year proved that point. The winner had 18lbs + by 8 am the third day and all of his fish came off of one 6ft. hump. He left the spot- came back a couple hours later and culled 3 fish to weigh in a 25lb+ stringer. The grass at least scattered them out some.
