Bass fishing is Poor and the Bass have moved out to deeper water on the old river channels and main lake points, Carolina Rigs,Jigging Spoons, Drop Shot Rigs and 1/2-3/4 ounce double willow leaf Spinner Baits in chartreuse and white slow rolled are all good winter baits. Always remember that in winter the colder the water the slower you should fish !
Crappie fishing is Good and good numbers of fish are being caught on the main Coosa River ledges from Riverside Campground to Three mile Creek, bumping bottom in 11-14 feet of water with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs. Tight lining a 1/16 or 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in color JJ17 on the upper Coosa river ledges is catching fish also. The upper Coosa river is also producing some decent catches of crappie in the log jams and behind any structure that creates a current break. Fishing a minnow on a slip float 6-10 feet deep behind the log jams is always a great way to load the boat with some slab Crappie from Weiss Lake. The piers at JR's Marina are producing a lot of Crappie casting jigs and minnows under floats 5-7 feet deep.The bumping bottom technique is a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied to your main line then come up 12 to 16 inches above the weight and tie a eagle claw snelled hook in size 1 or 2 style # 127 to the main line, come up another 12 inches and tie on a Jiffy Jig in colors JJ13 and JJ17, fish this rig 1 to 2 feet above the bottom on the edge of the old Coosa River channel in the Riverside Campground area down river to Three Mile Creek.
Striper fishing is Fair and the Stripers are on the edges of the the old river channels and major flats of the Coosa River and Little River. Yellow Creek is also producing some good fishing. A 4 inch curly grub in chartreuse glitter or a 3 1/2 Sassy Shad in pearl or chartreuse glitter on a 1/4 ounce jig head trolled at 1 to1 1/2 mph on 12-15 pound test Ande line . Target the area from the Cedar Bluff bridge down river to Yellow Creek and up into the Little River and Chattooga River arms. Target any of the deeper road beds, humps and points in the deeper flats and any point that meets the old river channels. The Coosa River above the Highway 68 bridge to Cowan Creek is also producing some fish.
Catfish are biting Great. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the flats of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait. Fishing the main Coosa river channel with cut bait, right below the Cedar Bluff bridge is producing some big Blue Cats, any of the deeper holes on the main Coosa River will hold large Catfish thru the winter months. The docks at JR's Marina are producing some 20-50 pound Blues and a few Flatheads on Crappie heads most every night. Make sure to use a good quality fishing line I suggest Ande line in at least 25 pound test. These big Catfish are strong and will fight very hard in the cooler winter months.

Bass fishing is fair and the largemouth have moved out to deeper water on the old river channels and main lake points, Carolina Rigs, Drop Shot Rigs and 1/2-3/4 ounce double willow leaf Spinner Baits slow rolled are producing well. Spotted Bass are active and being caught on the Coosa, Little River and Chattooga River channel ledges in 8-14 feet of water, Carolina rigs and Drop Shot rigs are working well.
Crappie fishing is Good and good numbers of fish are being caught on the main Coosa River ledges from Riverside Campground to Three mile Creek, bumping bottom in 11-14 feet of water with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs. The piers at JR's Marina are producing a lot of Crappie casting jigs and minnows under floats 5-7 feet deep. Shooting docks and casting to any visible cover that is on the main Coosa River channel with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 is producing some good catches. The upper Coosa river is also producing some decent catches of crappie in the log jams and behind any structure that creates a current break. The bumping bottom technique is a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied to your main line then come up 12 to 16 inches above the weight and tie a eagle claw snelled hook in size 1 or 2 style # 127 to the main line, come up another 12 inches and tie on a Jiffy Jig in colors JJ13 and JJ17, fish this rig 1 to 2 feet above the bottom on the edge of the old Coosa River channel in the Riverside Campground area down river to Three Mile Creek.

Please be careful with the low water levels !
There are very few boat ramps that are usable on Weiss Lake, Most of the private owned ramps are without water, the ramp at JR's MARINA is still ok and owner Jason Tucker said he would do what repairs are needed to keep a boat ramp in operation thru the fall.
The public ramp on Hwy 9 is still usable and the public ramp in the canal in Leesburg is still usable. The ramp at the Weissmart Marina is still usable although it has a drop off. Yellow Creek ramp is still usable to smaller boats due to a hole in the ramp. Rooster's in Cowan Creek Still has a ramp open. Riverside Campground has improved their ramp for low water use but I have been getting a lot of reports that it is still hard to load and unload. We are working with the state of Alabama and Alabama Power to get some boat ramps repaired so everyone can still come fish Weiss Lake. I will report every week on lake conditions and the progress of repairs to the ramps !
Now available for sale 50 of my proven GPS waypoints for off shore structure for Bass and Crapping fishing on Weiss Lake, Alabama !
For more info contact Ken Sturdivant at ken@havefunfishing.com or Mark Collins at mark@markcollinsguideservice.com
Bass fishing is Good. The bass have moved shallow in the main lake due to the falling water and low oxygen levels in the deeper water. Work main lake points, road beds, humps and flats near the main river channels with shallow running crank baits like the Gizz 4 in green back and chartreuse back and the Bandit 100 series. Double willow leaf blade spinner baits in chartreuse and white are producing some good fish also. Work these baits on 12-14 pound test line with a 6 1/2 or 7 foot medium action crank bait rod. Some Largemouth are starting to be caught in the back of the bays chasing Shad. Look for flats with shad working the surface near the main river channels in the main lake from the Cedar Bluff bridge to the powerhouse lake. Spotted Bass are being caught on the Coosa river channel ledges in 5-10 feet of water, carolina rigs and crank baits are working well.
Crappie fishing is Great. The Crappie fishing has been a little better over the last week. The average daily catch has be 30-50 keepers. The crappie are on the main Coosa River ledges and a few are starting to be caught on the Little River creek channel ledges. Bumping bottom in 10-12 feet of water with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some awesome fishing. The bumping bottom technique is a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied to your main line then come up 12 to 16 inches above the weight and tie a eagle claw snelled hook in size 1 or 2 style # 127 to the main line, come up another 12 inches and tie on a Jiffy Jig in colors JJ13 and JJ17, fish this rig 1 to 2 feet above the bottom on the old Coosa River channel in the Bay Springs and Yellow Creek area. Shooting docks that are on the main Coosa River channel with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 is still producing some good catches. Come on over to Lake Weiss Alabama and get in on some awesome fall crappie fishing !
Striper fishing is Fair. The White Bass and smaller Stripers in the 1-3 pound range are working the shad on the surface early in the flats of the main lake in the morning and late in the evening. When you see these fish working the surface any small spinner like a yellow Rooster Tail or Mepps spinner will catch these active fish. A 3 inch Sassy Shad in white on a 1/4 ounce jig head will also work well. Fish these on Light spinning tackle with 6lb test line for some great fun.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the flats of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait. Fishing the main Coosa river channel with cut bait, right below the Cedar Bluff bridge is producing some big Blue Cats.

A 3 inch Sassy Shad in white on a 1/4 ounce jig head will also work well.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait. Fishing the main Coosa river channel with cut bait, right below the Cedar Bluff bridge is producing some big Blue Cats.

Weiss Lake Alabama Fishing Report By Mark Collins Guide Service
www.markcollinsguideservice.com
256-779-3387
September 20th 2007
LAKE WEISS IS AT 6.0 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 78 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Please be careful with the low water levels !
Weiss Lake is at the late December lake level !
There are very few boat ramps that are usable on Weiss Lake, Most of the private owned ramps are without water, the ramp at JR's MARINA is still ok and owner Jason Tucker said he would do what repairs are needed to keep a boat ramp in operation thru the fall.
The public ramp on Hwy 9 is still usable and the public ramp in the canal in Leesburg is still usable. Riverside Campground has improved their ramp for use. We are working with the state of Alabama and Alabama Power to get some boat ramps repaired so everyone can still come fish Weiss Lake. I will report every week on lake conditions and the progress of repairs to the ramps !
Bass fishing is Good. The bass have moved shallow in the main lake due to the falling water and low oxygen levels in the deeper water. Work main lake points, humps and flats near the main river channels with shallow running crank baits like the Gizz 4 in green back and chartreuse back and the Bandit 100 series. Double willow leaf blade spinner baits in chartreuse and white are producing some good fish also. Work these baits on 12-14 pound test line with a 6 1/2 or 7 foot medium action crank bait rod. Look for flats with shad working the surface near the main river channels in the main lake from the Cedar Bluff bridge to the powerhouse lake.
Crappie fishing is Good. The crappie fishing has started to turn on with the cooling trend over the past week, look for the bite to get better over the next few weeks. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and other creek channel ledges. Bumping bottom in 8-14 feet of water with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some good fishing. The bumping bottom technique is a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied to your main line then come up 12 to 16 inches above the weight and tie a eagle claw snelled hook in size 1 or 2 style # 127 to the main line, fish this rig 1 to 2 feet above the bottom on the old Coosa River channel in the Bay Springs and Yellow Creek area. Shooting docks that are on the main Coosa River channel with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 is still producing some good catches.
Striper fishing is Poor. With low oxygen levels in the lake the Stripers have shut down.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait. Fishing the main Coosa river channel with cut bait, right below the Cedar Bluff bridge is producing some big Blue Cats.

AUGUST 22nd 2007
LAKE WEISS IS AT 5.5 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 93 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Please be careful with the low water levels !
Weiss Lake is at the mid December lake level !
Bass fishing is fair. The best bite is early and late. With the very high water temperature the top water bite is over untill things cool down. Carolina rigged plastics worked slow in 15 to 25 feet of water on the edges of the old Coosa river channel is producing the best. A 3/8 ounce jig in a brown craw fish pattern is also a good lure on these deep water ledges. Anytime they are pulling water look for the bass to pull up on the points and ledges in the Bay Springs and Yellow Creek area and in the Power House lake.
Crappie fishing is Fair. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and other creek channel ledges. Night fishing on these ledges with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is always a good bet to catch a few crappie and beat the heat of summer. Bumping bottom in 10-18 feet of water with live minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some fair fishing. Shooting docks that are on the main Coosa River channel with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 is still producing some good catches.
Striper fishing is Poor. With low oxygen levels in the lake the Stripers have shut down. Plenty of small schooling Stripers and White Bass in the 1-2 pound range are being caught working the surface, chasing shad in the main lake from the causeway in Cedar Bluff to the powerhouse lake. You can catch these fish on a 3 inch white or pearl Sassy Shad or curlytail grub on a 1/4 ounce jig head.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.

Please be careful with the low water levels !
Bass fishing is fair. The best bite is early and late. Try top water lure's worked slowly, early and late on deeper banks and deep seawalls, as the sun comes up move out to the old river channel ledges. Carolina rigged plastics worked slow in 15 to 25 feet of water is producing the best. A 3/8 ounce jig in a brown craw fish pattern is also a good lure on these deep water ledges. Anytime they are pulling water look for the bass to pull up on the points in the lower lake around Bay Springs and in the Power House lake.
Crappie fishing is Fair. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and other creek channel ledges. Night fishing on these ledges with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is always a good bet to catch a few crappie and beat the heat of summer. Fishing brush piles in 10-18 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some fair fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches.
Striper fishing is Poor. With low oxygen levels in the lake the Stripers have shut down. Plenty of small schooling Stripers and White Bass in the 1-2 pound range are being caught working the surface chasing shad in the main lake from the causeway in Cedar Bluff to the powerhouse lake.

Weiss Lake Alabama Fishing Report By Mark Collins Guide Service

256-779-3387
AUGUST 1st 2007
LAKE WEISS IS AT 3.6 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 84 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Please be careful with the low water levels !
Bass fishing is Good. Bass fishing is still good, the best bite is early and late. Try top water lure's early and late on deeper banks and deep seawalls, as the sun comes up move out to the old river channel ledges , crank baits, spinner baits and Carolina rigged plastics are always good deep water lure's. a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown craw fish pattern is also a good lure on these deep water ledges. Anytime they are pulling water look for the bass to pull up on the points in the lower lake around Bay Springs and in the Power House lake.
Crappie fishing is Fair. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and other creek channel ledges. Night fishing on these ledges with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is always a good bet to catch crappie and beat the heat of summer. Fishing brush piles in 10-18 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some good fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches.
Striper fishing is Poor. With low oxygen levels in the lake the Stripers have shut down. Plenty of small schooling Stripers and White Bass in the 1-2 pound range are being caught working the surface chasing shad in the main lake from the causeway in Cedar Bluff to the powerhouse lake. You can catch these fish on a 3 inch white or pearl Sassy Shad or curlytail grub on a 1/4 ounce jig head.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish. Use live bream, cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.

Bass fishing is Good. Most Bass have moved to main lake points, humps and main river channel ledges. Crank baits, Spinner baits and Carolina rigged plastics are always great baits to catch these fish on the drop offs. Look for the deep water patters to hold for the next few months. Spotted Bass are out on the deeper main lake points and river channel ledges. Carolina and Texas rigged plastics are producing good. Stroking a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown crawfish pattern with a Zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin seed is catching some good fish. Little River is producing some good spots on the river channel ledges above JR's Marina up to the Cave Hole.
Crappie fishing is Fair. The crappie are on the main Coosa River and creek channel ledges. Fishing brush piles in 10-18 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some great fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/24 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches. Bumping bottom with minnows in Little River and the Chattooga River is producing some good catches with a lot of bigger female Crappie.
Striper fishing is Good. Stripers are being caught in the main lake and a few are starting to show up in the lower Chattooga River below the Highway 35 bridge. Look for main lake points and drop offs in the Yellow Creek area and where Little River and the Chattooga River join the Coosa River Fishing live Shad on down lines on the edges of the main channel is always a great way to catch these hard fighting fish. Keep your boat on the edge of the points or drop offs in 12-20 feet of water with your baits at 8-10 feet deep. The bite has been very early in the morning over the last week and very late in the afternoon.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish, The docks at JR's Marina is producing some good fish also. Use cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.

Bass fishing is Good. With the lack of rain and the low water a lot of Large Mouth have moved out of the grass and moved to the secondary drops and points. Crank baits, Spinner baits and Carolina rigged plastics are always great baits to catch these fish on the drop offs. Target the first drop offs or points close to the spawning areas.
Spotted Bass are back out on the deeper main lake points and river channel ledges. Carolina and Texas rigged plastics are producing good. Stroking a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown crawfish pattern with a Zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin seed is catching some good fish. Little River is producing some good spots on the river channel ledges above JR's Marina up to the Cave Hole.

Bass fishing is Good. Most Bass are finished spawning although there are still some bedding.
Fish can be caught on many different lures after the spawn. Some great technique's are to fish a 3/8 ounce spinner bait in fire tiger with double gold colorado blades and a Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle in solid white or blue and white in the spawning bays, use these lures to cover water. Fishing a Texas rigged lizard around the grass is producing well. Fish a texas rigged lizard or worm or a 4 inch flipping tube in june bug when you find any shallow cover or boat docks, target the backs of the docks and especially any that meet a sea wall. A lot of grass is starting to turn green and the post spawn bass are starting to use it, fish it with a 3/8 ounce spinner bait in fire tiger with double gold colorado blades.
Spotted Bass are back out on the deeper main lake points and river channel ledges. Carolina and Texas rigged plastics are producing good. Stroking a 3/8 ounce jig in a brown crawfish pattern with a Zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin seed is catching some good fish. Little River is producing some good spots on the river channel ledges above JR's Marina up to the Cave Hole.
Crappie fishing is Fair. Most crappie have finished spawning and started moving back to the creek channel ledges. Fishing brush piles in 8-12 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing some great fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/32 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches. Trolling Jiffy Jigs in 1/16th ounce in the Little river area is producing some decent catches also. Bumping bottom with minnows in Little River and the Chattooga River is producing some good catches with a lot of bigger female Crappie.
Striper fishing is Fair. A few Stripers are starting to be caught in the main lake but the big numbers will not start showing up until mid to late may. The Coosa River channel in front of Cowan Creek and the bridge going into Cowan Creek is Producing some fish. Fishing live Shad on down lines 8-10 feet deep on the edges of the main channel is always a great way to catch these hard fighting fish.
Catfish are biting Good. Catfish are being caught all over the lake. Jug fishing in the bays of the main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish, The docks at JR's Marina is producing some good fish also. Use cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.

Bass fishing is Good. Most Bass are finished spawning although there are still some bedding.
Fish can be caught on many different lures after the spawn. Some great technique's are to fish a 3/8 ounce spinner bait in fire tiger with double gold colorado blades and a Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle in solid white or blue and white in the spawning bays, use these lures to cover water. Fish a texas rigged lizard or worm or a 4 inch flipping tube in june bug when you find any shallow cover or boat docks, target the backs of the docks and especially any that meet a sea wall. A lot of grass is starting to turn green and the post spawn bass are starting to use it, fish it with a 3/8 ounce spinner bait in fire tiger with double gold colorado blades.
Spotted Bass are back out on the deeper main lake points and river channel ledges. Carolina rigged plastics are producing good. Stroking a 3/8 ounce jig in brown craw with a Zoom chunk trailer in pumpkin seed is catching some good fish.
Crappie fishing is Fair. Most crappie have finished spawning and started moving back to the creek channel ledges. Fishing brush piles in 8-12 feet of water with minnows and Jiffy Jigs is producing smoe great fishing. Shooting docks with a 1/32 ounce Jiffy Jig in Color JJ13 and JJ17 and JJ20 and JJ25 is producing some good catches. Trolling Jiffy Jigs in 1/16th ounce in the Little river area is producing some decent catches also. Bumping bottom with minnows in Little River and the Chattooga River is producing some good catches also.
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 !

Bass fishing is Good. With the warming trend the Spotted Bass and Large Mouth have moved to secondary points and shallow cover 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. Start with the deeper end of the points and work your way shallow to find where the fish are holding. Fishing a Zoom 6 inch Lizard around shallow brush and stumps is producing some good fish.
The Bama division of the Walmart BFL Tournament will be held at The Weiss Mart Marina this saturday 3-24-07
Crappie fishing is Great. The Crappie are in the spawning bays of the upper lake in 3-6 feet of water. In the mid to lower lake the fish are in 6-10 feet of water in the bays. With the warm weather the males and females are starting to move to the banks in the mid to lower lake and a lot of fish are moving under the docks. Shooting a Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 in1/24 ounce under docks is a sure way to load the boat with some Weiss Lake slabs. Trolling JIFFY JIGS in 1/24 ounce is producing some of the best fishing I have experienced in years, JJ13 and JJ17 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. 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.

Weiss Lake Alabama Fishing Report By Mark Collins Guide Service
www.markcollinsguideservice.com
256-779-3387
March 14th 2007
LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 1.8 FEET STAINED AND 64 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
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. Start with the deeper end of the points and work your way shallow to find where the fish are holding.
Matt Mobbs of Cedar Bluff, Al. weighed in a 22 pound 5 fish stringer to win a BAIT tournament this past weekend using these same technique's
Crappie fishing is Great. The Crappie are in the spawning bays of the upper lake in 3-8 feet of water. In the mid to lower lake the fish are in 6-10 feet of water in the bays. With the warm weather the males are starting to move to the banks in the mid to lower lake and a lot of fish are moving under the docks, shooting a Jiffy Jig in color JJ13 in1/24 ounce under docks is a sure way to load the boat with some Weiss Lake slabs. Trolling JIFFY JIGS in 1/24 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 main lake is a sure way to load the boats with some nice fish, The docks at JR's Marina is starting to produce some good fish also. Use cut bait, whole crappie heads or any kind of stink bait.

Little River is still producing a lot of Spotted Bass , use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color, fish the river channel ledges above JR's Marina. The deep rock wall in Little River below Little Spring Creek is producing some good stringers of Largemouth and Spotted bass. With the rising water, Little Spring Creek is producing some good catches in the flooded stumps along the creek channel and shallow humps.
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. Trolling JIFFY JIGS in 1/32 ounce in the upper lake and 1/16 ounce in the lower lake is producing some of the best fishing I have experienced in years, orange,black,chartreuse and orange,blue, flo yellow are some hot colors right now.

Please be careful on Weiss Lake with the low water level !
Bass fishing is Good. The upper Coosa river is producing a lot of fish at the mouth of all the feeder creeks and bays. Use a Gizz 4 or Bandit 100 series crank bait in solid white, a Texas rig with a Zoom Dead Ringer in Junebug is also catching fish. Fish the mouth of any bay, creek or cut, no matter how small off the main Coosa river channel, the log jams on the edge of the river channel is holding fish also.
Little River is still producing a lot of Spotted Bass , use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color, fish the river channel ledges above JR's Marina. The deep rock wall in Little River below Little Spring Creek is producing some good stringers of Largemouth and Spotted bass. Try slow rolling a 1/4 or 3/8 ounce Strike king spinner bait with a double willow leaf blade, work it SLOWLY with a stop and go retrieve to imitate a dying shad, bouncing it down the rock ledge. A small 1/4 ounce jig in brown with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer worked slowly down the rock ledge is always a good winter time bait.
Crappie fishing is Great. The upper Coosa river is producing fish along the main river channel above Riverside Camp Ground using minnows on a bottom bouncing rig. This rig consists of a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied on your main line then tying a Eagle Claw Snelled # 1 hook about 12 inches above your weight, fish this rig 10 to 16 feet deep along the old river channel above and below Riverside Camp ground. With this warming trend look for the fish to start moving in to the bays.
Spider trolling 1/16 ounce Jiffy Jigs in white.blue,white and chartreuse,white,chartreuse will produce some good action in the bays of the mid to lower lake.
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.

Please be careful on Weiss Lake with the low water level !
Bass fishing is slow. The Bass are deep on the ledges on a winter pattern.
Stroking a 3/8 or 1/4 ounce brown Stanley jig with a Zoom Chunk trailer in pumpkin seed color is producing some fish. A Carolina rig with a 6 inch Zoom Dead Ringer or a Gene Larue Salt Craw in Junebug or pumpkin seed is catching fish also. Target the ledges in Little River and the main Coosa River.
Remember to fish slowly, the water is cold and the slower you fish the more bites you will get.
Little River is producing a lot of Spotted Bass , use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color, fish the river channel ledges above JR's Marina. The deep rock wall in Little River below Little Spring Creek is producing some good stringers of Largemouth and Spotted bass.

A small 1/4 ounce jig in brown with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer worked slowly down the rock ledge is always a good winter time bait.
Crappie fishing is Great. There are good schools of crappie suspended 8 to 14 feet deep in all the major bays of the lower lake, Little River is also producing some fish in the main river channel out in front of JR's Marina.
With a warming trend look for these suspended fish to move up and really start biting.
Spider trolling 1/16 ounce Jiffy Jigs in white.blue,white and chartreuse,white,chartreuse will produce some good action.
Little Spring Creek is also producing some good catches, Spider Trolling 1/32 ounce Jiffy Jig in 3 to 7 feet of water.
The upper Coosa river is producing some fish along the main river channel above Riverside Camp Ground using minnows on a bottom bouncing rig. this rig consists of a 1/2 to 3/4 ounce bell sinker tied on your main line then tying a snelled eagle claw # 1 hook about 12 inches above your weight, fish this rig 10 to 16 feet deep along the old river channel above and below Riverside Camp ground

Use a All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net
Crappie fishing is good. There are good schools of crappie suspended 8 to 14 feet deep in Yellow Creek, Bay Springs and Church House Cove. Spider trolling 1/16 ounce JR's jigs in red,black,chartreuse and red,blue,chartreuse will produce some good action. Watch for the suspended fish on your graph to see what depth they are holding, if you are seeing alot of fish below 10 feet, try a small split shot on your line to make your jigs go deeper. You can also use two jigs to get down deeper but you will get tangled more with two jigs.
Cowan Creek is also producing some fish trolling on either side of the bridge.
Little Spring Creek is also producing some good catches, Spider Trolling 1/32 ounce JR's jigs in 3 to 7 feet of water.
The upper Coosa river is producing some fish in the old tree tops along the main river channel above Riverside Camp Ground using minnows under a slip float 6 to 14 feet deep.
The Chattooga River is also producing some good catches using a Float and Fly technique 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.
Use All Pro Rods Slab Slayer Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
Come on over to Weiss Lake Alabama the Crappie Capital of the World and get in on some of the awesome spring Crappie fishing that made this lake famous.
Striper fishing is good The stripers are in the main lake below the cause way in Cedar Bluff down to the dams in Leesburg. Look for the fish on flats and points near the river channels, also a lot of fish in Yellow Creek. Watch for the gulls to circle and dive into the water, move close to the area, then cast a Gizz 4 crank bait by SMACK TACKLE www.smacktackle.com to the area for some fast action
or a chartreuse or white 4 inch Sassy Shad or curly tail grub on a 1/4 ounce jig head. Trolling the same jigs where Little River and the Chattooga River meet and on main lake points is working great also. Anytime they are generating power, fish the rocks on either side of the dam and the 2 points at the mouth of the canal.The White Bass and Yellow Bass are schooling on top early and late in the main lake, look for flats near the old river channel near Yellow Creek. Use a White or Yellow Rooster Tail or a Little George for lots of action.
Use a All Pro Rods Striper Special APX series. www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your live bait Alive make sure to use a Keep Alive Bait Tank and Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration System www.keepalive.net

The 2007 Atlanta Boat Show hits the Georgia World Congress Center January 10-14, 2007. Meet Mark Collins, Ken Sturdivant, Al Bassett,, Tim White, Mike Bucca, Doug Youngblood, Jon Peters, Robert Eidson, Al Bassett, Chris Scalley, Ryan Coleman, Rick and Allison Steckelberg, and Glenn Chappelear. www.atlantaboatshow.com
Please be careful on Weiss Lake with the low water level !
Bass fishing is slow. .
With the cooling trend moving in this week the Bass have started moving to deeper water and getting on a winter pattern.
The Largmouth are being caught on several patterns. Gravel and rocky secondary points are producing well using crank baits and Rat L Traps. Deeper rocky banks and rip rap with 6 feet of water or more is also producing well on crank baits and jigs. The Spotted Bass have moved up shallow on points, sand bars and shallow humps in the mid to lower lake. Little River is producing a lot of Spotted Bass also, use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color. A shallow running crank bait like the new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is working awesome right now ! It is the best shad imitation crank bait I have ever used ! Rat L Traps are also working well.
Use All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net
Crappie fishing is good. The crappie have moved off of the drop offs and suspended in the middle of the river channel in Little River, 10 to 14 feet deep. A float and fly technique works well on these inactive suspended fish. Use a quality All Pro spinning rod in 8 or 10 foot length with double 1/6 ounce jigs under a medium egg float, fish it slowly just over these fish with small jerks and a stop and go retrieve. The upper Chattooga River above the highway 68 bridge is also producing some fish casting a float and fly 4 to 5 feet deep to the edges of the old river channel. Yellow Creek is also producing some good catches shooting docks with a 1/32 ounce jigs. Some fish are being caught spider trolling with 1/16th ounce jigs in the bays of the mid to lower lake, such as Little Spring Creek and Bay Springs Cove and Church House Cove. Look for suspended fish 8 to 14 feet deep in the deeper water of the bays.
Striper fishing is great The stripers are in the main lake below the cause way in Cedar Bluff down to the dams in Leesburg. Look for the fish on flats and points near the river channels, also a lot of fish in Yellow Creek. Watch for the gulls to circle and dive into the water, move close to the area, then cast a Gizz 4 crank bait to the area for some fast action
or a chartreuse or white 4 inch Sassy Shad or curly tail grub on a 1/4 ounce jig head. Trolling the same jigs where Little River and the Chattooga River meet and on main lake points is working great also. Anytime they are generating power, fish the rocks on either side of the dam and the 2 points at the mouth of the canal.The White Bass and Yellow Bass are schooling on top early and late in the main lake, look for flats near the old river channel near Yellow Creek. Use a White or Yellow Rooster Tail or a Little George for lots of action.
Use a All Pro Rods Striper Special APX series. www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your live bait Alive make sure to use a Keep Alive Bait Tank and Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration System www.keepalive.net
Catfish are biting great. The bigger catfish are biting awesome. The docks at JR's Marina are producing some 20 to 40 pound Blues every night. Jug fishermen are also catching a lot of fish in the flats. Use a Crappie head or rib cage with no weight and use at least 25 pound test line. If no Crappie heads are available use cut Bream.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 5.7 FEET STAINED AND 50 DEGREES

Bass fishing is Good. The Bass fishing is better with the warming trend the past few weeks.
With the cooling trend moving in this coming week the Bass will start moving to deeper water and getting on a winter pattern.
The Largmouth are being caught on several patterns. Gravel and rocky secondary points are producing well using crank baits and Rat L Traps. Deeper rocky banks and rip rap with 6 feet of water or more is also producing well on crank baits and jigs. The Spotted Bass have moved up shallow on points, sand bars and shallow humps in the mid to lower lake. Little River is producing a lot of Spotted Bass also, use a 4 inch Zoom Ring Worm in Smoke Glitter color or Pumpkin Seed color. A shallow running crank bait like the new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is working awesome right now ! It is the best shad imitation crank bait I have ever used ! Rat L Traps are also working well.
Use All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 3.6 FEET STAINED AND 50 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Bass fishing is good The Largemouth are being caught on several patterns. Gravel and rocky secondary points are producing well using crank baits and Rat L Traps. Deeper rocky banks and rip rap with 6 feet of water or more is also producing well. The Spotted Bass are still out on the deeper channel ledges and points. Stroking a 3/8 or 1/2 ounce stanley jig in a crawfish pattern with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer is working great, crank baits and carolina rigs are working well also.
A shallow running crank bait like the new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is working awesome right now ! It is the best shad imitation crank bait I have ever used ! This is a new bait and I caught fish on it the first time I used it, Spotted Bass, Large mouth and Stripers love them! Use All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net
Crappie fishing is fair. Fishing the old Little River and Coosa River channel drops using minnows and a bottom bouncing rig is a great way to catch some Weiss Lake slabs. Some fish are being caught casting a float and fly for suspended fish in the middle of the river channels 10 to 12 feet deep. The average size crappie this fall has been around 12 inches, once again earning its name as the Crappie Capital of the World! Tie a 1/2 or 3/4 ounce bell sinker on your main line then come up 16 inches and tie a Eagle Claw size 1 snelled aberdeen hook on the line, then drop this rig to the bottom and bring it back up one crank of your reel off the bottom. Fish the drop offs of the old river channels and look for any structure on the drop and work the structure slowly with your trolling motor. Target the 14-18 feet range in the Little river channel . Use a quality All Pro spinning rod in 5 or 6 foot length with a medium action .
Striper fishing is Good The stripers are in the Little River and Coosa River below the cause way in Cedar Bluff down to the dams in Leesburg. Look for the fish on the ledges in 12-20 feet of water, fish a live shad on a down line for some hot action. Down river below the Cedar bluff bridge is holding plenty of fish, fish directly behind the old roadway that makes a point on the down river side. Anytime they are generating power, fish the rocks on either side of the dam and the 2 points at the mouth of the canal. Use live bait or a 3 inch Sassy Shad on a 1/4 ounce jig head. The White Bass and Yellow Bass are schooling on top early and late in the main lake, look for flats near the old river channel near Yellow Creek.

Weiss Lake Alabama Fishing Report By Mark Collins Guide Service
www.markcollinsguideservice.com
256-779-3387
October 25th 2006
LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 2.9 FEET STAINED AND 58 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Bass fishing is good The Large mouth have moved up shallow in the back of the bays on points and shallow flats and they are chasing shad, they are being caught on crank baits, spinner baits and jerk baits. Some fish are also being caught on rocky banks on plastics and crank baits. The Spotted Bass are still out on the deeper channel ledges and points. Stroking a 3/8 or 1/2 ounce stanley jig in a crawfish pattern with a Zoom pumpkin seed chunk trailer is working great, crank baits and carolina rigs are working well also.
A shallow running crank bait like the new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is working awesome right now ! It is the best shad imitation crank bait I have ever used ! This is a new bait and I caught fish on it the first time I used it, Spotted Bass, Large mouth and Stripers love them! Use All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net
Crappie fishing is great. The crappie are biting awesome ! Come on down to Weiss for some hot fall action. Fish the old Coosa river channel drops using minnows and a bottom bouncing rig. Tons of 60 fish limits have been coming in this month using this technique. Tie a 1/2 or 3/4 ounce bell sinker on your main line then come up 16 inches and tie a eagle claw size 1 snelled aberdeen hook on the line, then drop this rig to the bottom and bring it back up one crank of your reel off the bottom. Fish the drop offs of the old river channels and look for any structure on the drop and work the structure slowly with your trolling motor. Target the 12-16 feet range in the Coosa river channel from the mouth of Bay Springs cove, up river to the causeway at Cedar Bluff. Use a quality All Pro spinning rod in 5 or 6 foot length with a medium action .
Striper fishing is Good The stripers are in the coosa river below the cause way in Cedar Bluff down to Leesburg. Look for the fish on the ledges in 12-20 feet of water, fish a live shad on a down line for some hot action. Down river below the Cedar bluff bridge is holding plenty of fish, fish directly behind the old roadway that makes a point on the down river side.
The White Bass and Yellow Bass are schooling on top early and late in the main lake, look for flats near the old river channel near Yellow Creek. Use a White or Yellow Rooster Tail or a Little George for lots of action.
Use a All Pro Rods Striper Special APX series. www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your live bait Alive make sure to use a Keep Alive Bait Tank and Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration System www.keepalive.net
Catfish are biting great. The catfish are biting all over the lake and they are being caught by jug fishermen and people fishing off of docks are really catching alot of fish on Chicken livers and night crawlers, use cut shad or live bream for the bigger fish and fish the main coosa river below the big bridge in Cedar Bluff.

LAKE WEISS IS DOWN 3.4 FEET STAINED AND 72 DEGREES
For Reports On Other Area Lakes Please Visit www.havefunfishing.com
Bass fishing is good The fish that went shallow have moved back to secondary points and deeper rocky banks following the shad. Some fish are still deep on the ledges in the main lake. I have been seeing some spotted bass surface action early in the morning on the old Coosa river channel near Yellow Creek A shallow running crank bait like the new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is working awesome right now ! It is the best shad imitation crank bait I have ever used ! This is a new bait and I caught fish on it the first time I used it, Spotted Bass, Large mouth and Stripers love them! Look for schools of shad in the back of the bays and creeks. Working a flat sided crank bait in the areas where the shad are present will produce some good stringers of bass.

Striper fishing is poor with the fast falling water level the fish have moved from their summer haunts in the major creeks and rivers. Most fish are in the main lake and they are moving around alot right now and no one pattern is working well. A few weeks and cooler water and they should be on a predictable pattern again.
The White Bass and Yellow Bass are schooling on top early and late in the main lake, look for flats near the old river channel near Yellow Creek. Use a White or Yellow Rooster Tail or a Little George for lots of action.

Bass fishing is poor With the lack of rain and high water temperature, the result is very low oxygen levels in the lake which makes the Bass very lazy. The best patterns right now are deep river channel ledges in the main lake that have 10 feet of water or more on top. Use Large crankbaits like a DD22 or a DD14. Creature baits like the Zoom Brush Hog in june bug fished on a carolina rig is producing some fish. The upper part of the Chattooga River is holding alot of Spotted Bass with a few Largemouths. The Shad have moved to the Chattooga River in huge schools for the cooler water with more oxygen. The best baits are shallow to medium running crankbaits in chartreuse or a shad pattern. Spinner baits are also producing fair in the Chattooga River. A 3/8 ounce Oldham spinner bait in chartreuse and white or solid white with double willow blades in chrome and gold is my bait of choice.
The new Gizz 4 crank bait from Smack Tackle www.smacktackle.com is the best shad imatation crank bait I have ever used ! This a new bait and I caught fish on them the first time I used them,Spotted Bass and Stripers love them!
Use All Pro Rod APX Series www.allprorods.com The Finest Fishing Rods Available Today !
To keep your catch ALIVE for the weigh in make sure you use a Keep Alive Oxygen Infuso2r Aeration system www.keepalive.net
Crappie fishing is fair. The crappie have started biting on the old river channel drops using minnows and a bottom bouncing rig. Fish the dropoffs of the old river channels and look for any structure on the drop, target the 12-16 feet range in the Little river and Chattooga river area. Use a quality All Pro spinning rod in 5 or 6 foot length with a medium action .
Striper fishing is fair and the stripers are in the Cave Hole in Little river, Alot of fish are moving back into the Chattooga river and Little Spring creek looking for cooler moving water with more oxygen, night fishing has started to pick up with some good catches from 11:00 pm - 4:00 am. With the low oxygen levels expect the best fishing very early am and late pm. Fish the upper Chattooga river and Little river and Little Spring creek. Use live shad on a down line 8 to 10 feet deep and flat lines are producing well. Look for the schools of stripers on your fish finder and adjust your bait depth to get it a foot or so above them.

Bass fishing is fair and the deep water patterns are producing the largest catches ! The upper part of the Chattaooga River is producing alot of bass right now, most are Spotted Bass from 1 to 3 pounds with the occasional Largemouth in the 2 to 5 pound range, the Shad have moved into it in huge schools, a shallow running crank bait in chartreuse worked on the ledges is a great bait for alot of action, a 3/8 ounce Oldham white spinnerbait with silver double willow blades is also catching fish. The bass in the Coosa river are shallow in the log jams ,flipping a pig and jig or a texas rigged tube will produce some good largemouth. Some are still under docks that have 4 feet or more of water under them.
