WEISS LAKE IS DOWN ONE FOOT STAINED, 63 TO 65 DEGREES

Fishing was great this past week with a lot of Crappie caught and a lot of good Bass caught.

Bass fishing is good and most of our bass are shallow and some are starting to spawn and some are still cruising the banks. Lizards, Jigs, Spinner Baits and shallow running crank baits are catching fish.

Striper fishing is poor and most of the fish have left the main lake making their spring run up the Coosa River. We have not had any reports on the upper Coosa River.

Crappie fishing is great and they are being caught in many areas of the lake, a lot of Crappie are staging in the back of the creeks, getting ready to spawn over the next few weeks, some fish are shallow and spawning. Three mile creek is producing a lot of fish around the bridge. Mud Creek is also producing some fish shallow around the stumps flats, Yellow Creek and the power house lake are producing some fish shallow and deep. The crappie are starting to move, going to their spawning areas, look for more fish to go shallow as the water warms more over the next few weeks. Long line trolling with Jiffy Jigs in 1/16 ounce and 1/24 ounce in colors JJ08, JJ13, JJ17, JJ19, JJ25, JJ41, JJ42 and Marks, Ice Blue color, is the way to catch these spring time fish, They can also be caught on a float and fly technique around docks and brush, live minnows around docks and brush is also producing some fish. Shooting docks with jigs is starting to produce some good fishing also.
