I can tell you that lake conroe has some of the biggest slabs around...been fishing conroe for crappie for 20 years and I'd say my solid average is 13inches....just went last Sunday for an hour with the family and got 10, smallest was 11, most were 13 and 14, biggest was 151/2

Welcome to the site and Board! I use to tie for some guys that fish Conroe and they always did well, but it's the T. Bend for me and has been since it opened in the late 1960's. Just love the Forrest and lake too much, lol!

I agree conroe has become a big party lake in the summer, luckily they stay near the south end, I primarily fish the north end, which is untouched by building and people...looks like all beautiful nature and trees and serenity.....so like you that's what I like...and fortunately that's where I catch all the monster slabs!

Well here on Toledo Bend the limits on crappie have always been 50 per person per day and a 10" minimum on them except from I think November through February and then you have to keep what ever size you catch! This was mostly because of the famous hole "The Chicken Coop" where in winter people are fishing 40' down. Then about 2 years back they changed the limits to....25 per person per day and no minimum length. Personally I don't like them taking off the minimum 10" length.
