Crappie are really starting to move shallow on Weiss now that we have had some warmer weather. Trolling 1/32 ounce jig heads with Southern Pro Hot Grubs is working great. Target shallow bays and spawning flats close to the river channel for good results. Bays on the lower and the upper Coosa is producing good stringers of crappie. Water temp today was 62 degree's so the spring spawn is about to go full speed ahead. Colors that are working good right now are Orange Crush, Wally World, Acid Rain and Black/Blue Chartreuse. Weiss is right at full pool now but you need to still use caution while boating there have already been a few lower units left laying in the bottom of the lake. Here is a photo with clients Harlan and Pam Waltz from Rockville Indiana we had a good day today 04/02/08 with 51 keeper crappie with 65+ total caught.
