Weather forecasted 64 to 79 degrees with 7mph winds, and mostly cloudy. Actual was 67 to 86 degrees blue bird skies until 4pm, and 10mph winds. The lake was a major mess by 1pm with 100's of huge pleasure boats doing useless donuts, and one big 50+ boat caravan right up the middle of the lake. Looked like all of them had their trims all the way up, they were all plowing the water from caney up past peach creek. 3 of the idiot jet skiers even ran all the way up in peach creek, I yelled and waved to warn them but it was too late. One guy was thrown end over end after slamming into a stump, he was ok but dazed. If you have never fished Peach creek, it has 100's (if not 1000's) of stumps right under the surface, most 1" to 3" under.


Got a late start at 10am from April's, and headed to Lewis creek. Picked up 2 on spinner bait, and 4 on frog. Water was 75.5, lightly stained, and all 6 fish came from 2ft to 4ft of water. 5 were keepers with the biggest at 3+ pounds.

11:30am, moved to Little Lake and picked up 2 more barely keepers on frogs, and boated 7 dinks. Water was 78, mostly clear, and was 2ft to 3ft water.

1pm, moved above 1097 to get away from the water lice and picked up 6 more keepers all on frogs, and 7 or 8 dinks. Water was 78.5, off colored, and 2ft to 4ft. I did happen to find about a 100 yard stretch of hydrilla the carp hadn't got to yet.

The frog bite on Conroe is definitely heating up, you just have to find the grass to throw them at. If you get one bite in a spot, keep throwing as they are still stacking up.

Anyone know where the hydrilla is at? All I can find is coontail

inside all the carp they stocked recently

Jaret is right, in another couple of weeks there will be NO hydrilla left, the LCA (Lake Conroe Association http://www.lakeconroeassociation.com/ ) is making damn sure of that. The carp were already in the hydrilla I found, so it will not be there long.

Its really ashame that all it takes is a bunch of people that know very little about conservation and fisheries but have money and friends to drastically change a lake from incredible to on the verge of disaster. If they had it their way, conroe would be a giant pond with one continuous bulkead void of everythng but water. We could still go skiing though, god forbid there is a little grass in a cove or 2. Geez i dont even live there and it angers me

I'm declaring war on the grass carp in conroe. And everyone else should too.

I don't understand why the homeowners have so much say considering a large portion of the lake is in the national forest. But then again its all about the $$$.

Although I have heard it is not legal to bother the precious carp, I hope none of them get injured by my boat.
