Well hopefully it will be a better lake but it's going to take a long time and who knows what will happen I have lots of memories on lake Conway,the first time was in 1963 when my uncle took me crappie fishing with minnows and I've been hooked on fishing ever since thank you Uncle Burky
It's amazing how much pond science has been done. They can measure the lakes size, drop the numbers into a fish calculator and figure out what needs to be added to make healthy waters. Instead of population crashes and it taking 15 yrs they can get it back in 5 to 6.
I'm layin up in the Hospital, just got my new hip today. Once again you're showing me something I'll never see again in our lake. I Thank you for that Cole.
I was away from YT for a while due to a serious illness and missed why they are draining it. I always envied you guys for that beautiful lake. Since you asked, toss the glasses.
You should come out with a couple shovels, dig out the inside of the boat a bit to make it a little deeper inside it. Also may be a good spot to noodle catfish out of.
I like our dock and out here they don't let us go crazy with the dock builds. If we were to tear ours down and rebuild, we would actually have to make it smaller. A boathouse might be cool though
@ my mom used to fish lake Conway when I was a kid before there were limits on bream. I would come home from school and she would have two coolers full of bream waiting for me to clean them. She would fish right off the interstate at one of the last bridges for the lake. I have been by there and you cannot get there anymore from the interstate. This was back in the seventies. It was a snake mess getting to the fishing area. How long is the lake going to be down?
Awesome Hunt and it was differently good to see Frank again I love the neutra hunt hope to see more tell Frank I don't blame him about that snake 😭😂😅 and Vinnie you was right about that small nutra 😂😢his tail was short 🔥💯👍🏽
Bro thta place is gona be mushroom heaven by next spring oooo tht sounds so good thr u go two videos brother i no we all wana see love u jay and cole ill keep watching always my freinds lol😂
Don't know if you are familiar with cow trails in a lake bed, flat head catfish travel certain paths in a lake and literally wallow out what looks like a cow trail. The lake I fish has the water dropped eight foot occasionally and I walk the lake bed to find these trails. I do this to remember them when the lake refills and I hang my lines along these trails. I catch quite a few fish using this method. Though it might help since your lake is drained.
Bro u should be out metal detecting around all the old boat ramps all around tht place bet ud have good luck brother tht be a great video since ur exploring anyways
I learned an old catfish bait that was used years ago, was bars of Ivory soap that they cut up and baited their hooks with. A friend of mine learned that technique from his grandmother and he says they tore the catfish up. He still fishes with it lol
Everything changes over time. The farm I hunted back in 1986 is not anywhere near the same today. I've had to adapt. Deer are not at the old honey holes. And there are far fewer deer hunters than back then. It's 1500 acres. I have sat in there for hours and not saw a single deer because no one else in in there to get the deer moving.
@@COLE_and_JAY The world changes around all of us on a daily basis. Change is good. We have to be accepting of this because we have to adapt. My Mom, God rest her soul, did not like change. I told her that 30 years ago when she was still living. She asked me, "Do YOU believe that?" I said yes because we simply have to live and learn. I still believe that change is a good thing!
So are you planning on number one revealing your dock or making a bigger better cooler one and number two have you thought about renting a piece of equipment to either a redo your seawalls or b make a beach or see did you a big hole a deeper hole right there close to one part of your docker or the other to attract all of the fish and what about cutting some of those Cypress that are falling over and stuff and designing your own little fish crib attraction close to your dock before they put water back in it? And then go get your lost and forgotten boat and add it to your attractor
Either left the lake through the dam, died, or is somehow hiding in one of the small existing puddles out there. There were roughly 10-20 gators living out there
I wish you and others would catch fish and transport them to better places. I feel bad for fish that will just die. Why is this lake being drained like this?
Stop crying all the time... your lake 😂😂😂 WOW a guy cant get a real job, then cries about a damn lake.. sad, really sad.. I've finished with you, sorry not impressed, hell give everyone live scope and Crappie stixs everyone is a fisherman 😢😂😂😂. Just go fishing and stop crying 🎉 happy new year
Sorry you are so stupid, we've had several bad storms over the past 15 years.. if you want to destroy your boat go there..if you see a boat sunk, what else was blowing in by tornados and strait line winds... even a few bodies were found. So all y'all letting this guy screw you...he moved HERE, I've lived here 54 years... 4 drain downs, entitled white privilege at its Best. When they fill it you can't fish it cause people like him cry you fishing they docks... Bank fishing sucks, when filled no bank spots.. so stop it

Hahahah great bot
I live in Texas and the ponds get really low here in the summer and it makes the fishing fantastic because the fish have no where to hide.
It was like that here until this summer because they ran out of water and we had a massive fish kill. 90% of the fish we had in the lake died.
Same mentality as Trout n salmon anglers. Easier to "catch them" in a bucket then a pool eh...😂
The walking trip was very interesting. I like exploring places like that. The boat was creepy to see. I have found those also. Good video Cole!
That looks like it was crappie heaven!
I was away from YT for a while due to a serious illness and missed why they are draining it. I always envied you guys for that beautiful lake. Since you asked, toss the glasses.
Prayers for a Healthy Fishing Trip soon!
@@michaelanderson5098 Thank you, but I have made my last fishing trip. I now fish with Cole and Jay and remember the good times.
I agree toss the glass.
there should be some arrowheads laying on the high spots and gravel areas. keep your eyes peeled for flint flakes.
Not allowed to look for them here
You should come out with a couple shovels, dig out the inside of the boat a bit to make it a little deeper inside it. Also may be a good spot to noodle catfish out of.
Now is the time to put in your dream dock and boathouse.
I like our dock and out here they don't let us go crazy with the dock builds. If we were to tear ours down and rebuild, we would actually have to make it smaller. A boathouse might be cool though

So crazy! I recognize those spots from your videos!
Some of those trees are cool looking! The ones that have bulbs at the bottom of the trunk.

Well they used to use WD-40 in bubble gum too but it was made with different ingredients WD-40 used to be made of fish oil
What was the reason behind draining the lake they going to put the light back or they're putting houses
Two of the biggest water moccasins I ever seen was that lake
Buen video , saludos desde Texas
Those weed seeds you're talking about that stick to jeans are what we call sticktights.
They the glasses look fine! Thats a pitiful sight the lake or the dry lake! 😩

This place was awesome and thriving though which is the sucky part. We are definitely having to adapt haha

Awsom😮❤
Has there been word on what the plans are? Restoration, improving, dredging, any word?
My son is just a couple years younger than you, his white Oakleys are pretty cool too!
nice.
Hollywood shades 😎
yea Cole my Dad showed me the same about the holes in water muddy it up and the fish will splash the top then grab them do a video of it please
WQhy did thee drain it, and when will it be filled back up?
Wow 😢😮
If you are fishing for carp - the heavy weight is a mistake

You bowl?
That great. What’s your league average?
Does it hold a lot of ducks
Lol @ Lake Gone-Way”
If you can make out those registration numbers. The local DMV could find out who it belonged to.
Hollywood with sunglasses
Why using Braid?
Are they still taxing used for waterfront property
Why was this lake drained?
Do you know what happened to the gator?
Probably migrated to another body of water. Or has found a deep pool and hibernating
What happened to the alligator what was living in the lake?
Either left the lake through the dam, died, or is somehow hiding in one of the small existing puddles out there. There were roughly 10-20 gators living out there
What are they going to do? Refill at some point or what?
1st
Nope on the white frames
Now it’s a fire hazard
kinda crazy question did you play basketball in school?
Baseball
Makes me want to cry and I have never even fished there!
I wish you and others would catch fish and transport them to better places. I feel bad for fish that will just die. Why is this lake being drained like this?
Fishing starts at 16:45
I am the 4th comment
The lake looks so sad ! Pap Blevins
The first comment
This was sad to watch. Dude had some great times.
Are all the Cypress tree are dead now? What a shame
Buy some if that land there probably going to build on it
POOR LAKE GONAWAY
They drain it so homeowners can fix their docks plus place or make new fish holding spots.
A drawdown for that would have been fine but they completely emptied and killed all the fish
And yet nothing is being done to the lake by government.
Should be a lot of lures and stuff , with all those stumps bet it was difficult to navigate
Stop crying all the time... your lake 😂😂😂 WOW a guy cant get a real job, then cries about a damn lake.. sad, really sad.. I've finished with you, sorry not impressed, hell give everyone live scope and Crappie stixs everyone is a fisherman 😢😂😂😂. Just go fishing and stop crying 🎉 happy new year
Why did they drain that lake and kill all those fish and all that wildlife?
Sorry you are so stupid, we've had several bad storms over the past 15 years.. if you want to destroy your boat go there..if you see a boat sunk, what else was blowing in by tornados and strait line winds... even a few bodies were found. So all y'all letting this guy screw you...he moved HERE, I've lived here 54 years... 4 drain downs, entitled white privilege at its Best.
