WEISS LAKE IS DOWN 1.9 FEET, STAINED, 59 TO 62 DEGREES


Bass fishing is good. The fish are shallow and hungry. Target ditch lines and old creek channels and secondary points in the spawning bays, fish the 2 to 4 feet range using a Rat L Trap in chrome and blue, a flat sided crank bait like a Flat A or a B Flat in solid white or white with a chartreuse belly. If the fish are not active enough for those lures use a 1/2 ounce Oldham Spinner bait in white and chartreuse with double willow blades, slow roll it near the bottom, or try a slow lift and fall technique, or try pitching a 3/8 ounce black and blue Stanley jig with a Gene Larew salt craw trailer in June bug color, try shallow rip rap and any visible cover in the backs of spawning bays.

Striper fishing was good this week. The stripers have started moving up the rivers on the spawning run. A few smaller fish are still being caught in the mouths of the feeder rivers. A lot of fish are being caught behind plant Hammond and at the Lock and Dam in Rome, Georgia. Use a white buck tail jig in 3/8 ounce with a white 3 or 4 inch sassy shad trailer behind the Lock and Dam or fish cut shad on the bottom in the Coosa River and the Chattooga Rivers. Look for sharp bends in the river and shoal areas, fish the inside of the bends and below the shoals.

Crappie fishing is great. The fish are shallow and getting ready to spawn; just about any spawning bay is holding fish right now in 2 to 5 feet of water. Slow troll JR's jigs in 1/32 ounce for some hot action. Use a quality trolling rod like All Pro Rods Slab Slayer series or the Float and Fly series.
