I’m new to the Lake Conroe area and am going out tonight to try to hunt down some big blues. My go-to bait has always been fresh cut Gizzard Shad but being unfamiliar with the lake I don’t know where to start looking for them. Anyone have any tips on where to catch Gizzards on Conroe or what type of structure they will be holding on this time of year? I’ll be getting out on the lake just before sundown after I get off work.

I dont know where you drop your boat in but I have been catching them pretty steady around south end of Lake around the Valero off 105 that is on the water. I have been catching them early morning though.

Thanks for the advice. The few times Ive been I went to Scotts Ridge but was thinking about heading down south to catfish. What is the best boat ramp down there? Went to one a while back that charged me $20 to launch my little 17' bass tracker so I have stayed away from that part of the lake since.
