Please be careful on Weiss Lake with the low water level !
Bass fishing is Good. With the warming trend the Spotted Bass and Large Mouth have started moving to secondary points in the spawning bays off the upper Coosa River and in the mid to lower lake. Use a Gizz 4 or Bandit 100 series crank bait in solid white, Rat L Traps in chrome and blue and chrome and green are working good also, a Texas rig with a Zoom Dead Ringer in Junebug is also catching fish.
Crappie fishing is Great. The Crappie are in the bays of the upper lake in 6-12 feet of water and suspended 3-6 feet deep. In the mid to lower lake the fish are in 10-20 feet of water in the bays, suspended 3-6 feet deep. Trolling JIFFY JIGS in 1/32 ounce is producing some of the best fishing I have experienced in years, JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ25 are some hot colors right now. A lot of quality fish from 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 pounds are being caught with the average of about 12 inches long. The Chattooga River is also producing some fair catches using a Float and Fly technique and minnows 3 to 6 feet deep around the stumps on the edge of the old river channel. Target the river from the highway 68 bridge all the way to the bridge in Gaylesville.
Come on over to Weiss Lake Alabama and get in on some of the awesome fishing that earned this lake the name, The Crappie Capital of the World !
Striper fishing is Good The stripers have started moving up the Coosa river to make their spawning run. Fishing cut bait on the bottom in the Coosa River behind Plant Hammond has always been a great producer in February and early march. The stripers will then move up behind the Lock and Dam in Rome Georgia, waiting for the water to rise enough for them to go over and on up the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers to spawn.
Catfish are biting Good. Jug fishing in the bays of the upper coosa river is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use cut bait or any kind of stink bait.
