Lake Weiss Fishing Report – November 2021

Weiss: Level:  2 feet below full pool. Clarity: Moderate stain.

Bass: Guide and tournament pro Mike Carter reports, “Weiss has started falling to its winter level, and with this the fishing has finally started getting more aggressive. With the water falling, cover as many shallow points that consist of rocks and stumps with some deep water nearby. That will be the ticket for some consistent success. My Top-3 lures for this time of year in these areas are the Echo crankbait, MR6 crankbait and a 1/2-oz. Rat-L-Trap. These baits will allow you to fish shallow on these points out to the deeper drops of the points. There’s just nothing that can compare to the hard hitting and fighting of some massive Coosa River spotted bass, so get out and enjoy some great fall action on Lake Weiss.”

Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is fair. A lot of Weiss bass have started moving shallow as the water cools. They are showing up on secondary points, humps and sandbars. Rat L Traps, flat-sided crankbaits and spinnerbaits are catching fish.”

Crappie: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Crappie fishing is fair right now on Lake Weiss. Many of the fish are still on the deeper brush, and a few are showing up on the creek and river channel ledges in 12 to 20 feet of water. Spider-rigging with live minnows and jigs over brush and stumps is the way to catch fish in the fall. A few crappie are still being caught shooting docks with jigs.”
