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.

AUGUST 1st 2007
LAKE WEISS IS AT 3.6 FEET BELOW FULL POOL STAINED AND 84 DEGREES

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 their summer haunts on main lake points, humps and main river channel ledges. Crank baits, Spinner baits, Jigs and Carolina rigged plastics are always great baits to catch these fish on the drop offs. 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 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.
