Weiss in Feb ?'s

Hello all,

I am new to this board, but spend a lot of time on the IN and KY boards. I am planning a trip to Weiss, my first, in Feb for crappie and stripes and am looking for some general advice on patterns, baits/lures and places to stay. I'm not asking for honeyholes, just general ideas. We(party of 3)plan to tow our boat and are looking at one of the marinas or a hotel that has electrical hook-ups for the boat.

Should we be fishing the main lake or go up the river/creeks? Live bait or artificial? Any particular colors? Shallow or deep? Can anyone recommend places to stay for 3-4 nights? Any and all info appreciated. If anyone comes up north, I will share any info I have for southern IN lakes or most KY lakes.

Thanks in advance.

Joe
