    Default My first Weiss trip results


    Just returned today from my first trip to Weiss Lake in Alabama. WHAT A CRAPPIE LAKE!!! I've fished Kentucky Lake, Barkley, Reelfoot, among others, never had a better numbers or average size trip than this one. Fished Wednesday 3/14 through Saturday. Even with cold weather and wind friday and Saturday and little knowledge of the lake, my dad and I managed 93 keepers in two and a half day, a lot pushing 2 pounds. Who knows how many total we caught just under 10". Here are a few pics. Believe me, the camera does these fish little justice:

    Just talked with a friend from church that had been to Weiss all week and he said it was awesome. He goes several times each spring and he said it was the best he'd done in several years. Big numbers and big fish.

    Where did you get your info. to put you on the fish? Did you find them on dropoffs or what. May have to check this lake out in a couple of weeks. Thanks for any info. Noticed your from Ohio...made a long trip I see...must be something to it down there!

    Nice looking catch. Congrats I'm sure the fish fry will taste great.

    We basically just went with what we know. Didn't really ask anybody for info on where to find them. After all, crappie are crappie no matter where they live, right? The water was 66-67 degrees Wednesday, so we knew we'd find them up tight around the docks, submerged trees, stakebeds, stumps, etc. After the cool down, we found them hanging on drop offs with cover on the creek channels, but still close to the shallower water, and close to the same depth. Most of the other boats we saw were longline trolling, but we like to cast to them when we can, and that worked Wednesday and Thursday, and then again Friday evening. We did troll a little Friday, but the majority of our fish came casting 1/32 oz and 1/16 oz jigs. Most of the fish came on chartreuse or yellow twistertails, though I did catch some on blue sliders when the mood changed with the cooler temps. I am a little stubborn in my lure choices sometimes and have my favorites, so I'm sure other colors and bodies work just as well or maybe better. The guys I talked to down there said they were hitting red/white or blue/white or blue/chartreuse good. It was a long drive, but it was worth it to fish such productive crappie waters.
