LAKE
WEISS IS
AT .94 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 84 DEGREES
Bass fishing is good and the fish are deep and in their summer
pattern on the old river channel ledges and main lake points in
8-14 feet of water. Deep running crank baits in shad patterns,
1/2 and 3/4 ounce double willow leaf spinner baits in chartreuse
and white, drop shot rigs and Carolina rigs are producing the best.
Flipping docks that have at least 8 feet of water under them is
producing some good fish on jigs and weight less Texas rigged Senko
worm or rigged wacky style, June bug is always a great color for
soft plastics on Weiss Lake. Brush in 8 feet of water or more is
also producing some good bass.
Crappie fishing is fair and they are starting to show up in fair
numbers on the river ledges in 14-25 feet of water bumping bottom
with minnows and Jiffy Jigs on the ledges of the old Coosa River
channel. Fair numbers of fish are being caught shooting docks with
8 feet of water or more under them, with the new chenille Jiffy
Jig made for a slow fall for shooting docks look for older, bigger
docks that make a lot of shade and the ones that have brush under
and around them are always good, always fish around the whole dock
because the Crappie will tend to be schooled tightly and in only
one small location under the dock, pay most attention to the darkest
shaded area's.
Striper fishing is poor and the Stripers have started moving to
the feeder creeks and rivers, the Cave Hole in Little River is
producing some fish and Little Spring Creek is also producing a
few fish, the Chattooga River is also producing some fair fishing.
A live shad down lined on a # 2 treble hook with a 3/4 ounce weight
at 8 to12 feet deep is the preferred method, but do not forget
to put out a free line behind the boat to catch the shallower fish.
The power house lake and the canal are producing some stripers
when they are generating power at the Weiss dam, look for the fish
on points and humps that create a current break in 10 to 20 feet
of water.
