Today’s customers were a father and son. Dad brought a small cooler and said 15 catfish was all they needed to take home. Well, they got their 15 plus a couple more! 😁🎣 After putting over 50 cats back in the lake, they were getting a little bored with the catfish 😂, so for their last hour they were ready to give crappie fishing a try for their first time. With a little help, the son reeled in his very first crappie! 🎣😁 With the lake starting to get choppy, the son was beginning to feel a little uneasy, so...
It was a good day on Lake Conroe! 🎣

Had a father-and-son team out with me today for a half-day fishing trip! 🎣 They traveled all the way from England to experience some Texas fishing on Lake Conroe. Everything was new to them, and it was the first time either one of them had ever caught a catfish. We didn’t catch any monsters today, but to them, those catfish were plenty big! 😁 It was all catch-and-release, and they caught and released a bunch of those little rascals! 😂 Being a guide has its perks—you get to meet people from all over the world. 🇬🇧🎣🇺🇸 Thanks again, guys, for...

Today’s half-day customers were two cousins. I really enjoyed meeting them and spending time on the water with them. Both were retired from the Air Force, and they sure enjoyed cutting up and laughing! There were several firsts for them today: their first time on Lake Conroe and their first time fishing with LiveScope. We had a few missed opportunities and a couple that came off at the boat, but once they started getting the hang of how to trick those finicky crappie into biting, they put together a nice mess of fish. Minnows were the bait of choice today....

Another good outing on Lake Conroe yesterday (6/19/2026). My half-day trip was with two customers from Louisiana who wanted to catch crappie, or as they call them back home, sac-a-lait.
We had a great day on the water, and the crappie were cooperating. My customers came close to a one-man limit, but with the weather moving in, we decided to head back a little earlier than planned. Better safe than sorry. We found fish in 15 to 25 feet of water, with water temperatures holding in the mid-80s. Minnows were the bait of choice. They had the Crappie Rods working!

Had a great time today with some old friends! We couldn’t pin down the exact year, but it’s been at least 25 years since the three of us were together at the same time. We shared a lot of laughs reminiscing about old memories and stories from years ago. They had to work hard for the bite today, but still managed to take home a good mess of fish. 😁 Ronnie was using minnows, but eventually switched to a jig after realizing he was being outfished by John, who was using jigs from TMT Fishing and Hand Tied Jigs. We...

Enjoyed fishing with my son-in-law (Dana Walker) today! It was his first time using LiveScope, and while there was a little bit of a learning curve, he caught on quickly. He said he wanted a limit of crappie, and that’s exactly what he got — and then some! We fished in 14 to 25 feet of water, and the bait of choice today was minnows along with a chartreuse/black jig from TMT Fishing and Hand Tied Jigs. Water temperature was 79–81 degrees. Great day on the water!

WOW!!! What a difference one day on Lake Conroe can make!
Today, the lake settled down and made fishing much more enjoyable than yesterday—especially for my first-time Livescope customers.
I had the pleasure of having a father, his son, who is visiting from California and his son-in-law on the boat. We started out with a catch-and-release catfish trip, and after putting up double digits, they were ready to switch things up and try some crappie fishing with Livescope.They were determined to get the hang of it and learn how to make those crappie chase a jig—and the fish cooperated!

Since they were being released, the crappie didn’t seem to mind playing along. 😂 They ended up catching and releasing double digits there as well.
After that, it was all about relaxing, kicking back, and enjoying some quality time together on the boat. Water temp was mid 70’s. We fished 15 to 25fow. The crappie were not interested in the minnows as much as they were the chart/white and pink/black jigs.

Another good day on the water with some crappie action—first and second time LiveScope users and they were well on their way to a double limit.
Had to cut it short due to their schedule and some bad weather moving in, but they got the hang of it quickly. Fished 14–23 FOW with water temps right around 70 degrees. Pink and black jig & chartreuse and black jig from TMT Fishing and Hand Tied Jigs along with monkey milk mayfly from Bobby Garland got the job done.

Got out on Lake Conroe for a few hours today and the crappie bite was on fire 🔥
It was one of those beautiful days on the lake — light breeze, warming temps, and fish ready to eat. I put double digits back in the water to catch another day. Fished 10–18 feet with water temps sitting at 58–60 degrees.
Almost anything green was getting bit, but lemon-lime plastics really stood out. Chartreuse/black and pink/black jigs from TMT Fishing and Hand Tied Jigs were in the mix too, and I put the Fiction Shad from 6th Sense to work as

Today’s second time repeat LiveScope customer had to put in the work, but it paid off with 20 solid keepers in the box. 💪🎣
Bounced around to about a dozen spots to make it happen, with 5–6 throwbacks along the way. Fish were caught in 12–33 FOW, with the stronger bite coming in the deeper water (20–33’).
Water temps held steady around 55–57°. Those crappie were tucked tight to the brush and lying right on the bottom.
Lemon Lime plastics produced some bites, but the majority came on chartreuse & white and pink & black jigs from TMT Fishing and
