THE SOUTHERN FISHING REPORT
by Ken Sturdivant
106 Hickory Ridge
Cumming, Georgia 30040 

August 22, 2008

LAKE WEISS IS AT 2.07 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 85 DEGREES

Bass fishing is good and fish are deep and in their summer pattern on the old river channel ledges and main lake points in 8 to 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 poor and a few fish are being caught 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 fish 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 fair. The fish 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 some good quality fish, the Chattooga River is also producing some decent fishing. A live shad down lined on a # 2 treble hook with a 3/4 ounce weight at 8 to 12 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 10-20 feet of water.
