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.
