Lake Weiss Fishing Report – January 2023

Weiss: Level: 3.2 feet below 564. Temp: 55-57 degrees. Clarity: Heavy stain.

Multiple Species: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is poor, and they are still on the creek and river channel ledges. Deep-running crankbaits and Carolina rigs are catching fish. A lot of bass are starting to move shallow on secondary points. Crappie fishing is poor, and they are moving to the Coosa River channel 16 to 25 feet deep and can be caught spider rigging with minnows and Jiffy Jigs. Some crappie are still being caught shooting docks with jigs. A lot of fish are starting to suspend in the river and creek channels 8 to 12 feet deep, and they can be caught longline trolling with Jiffy Jigs. Striper fishing is poor with no reports in the last few weeks. Catfish are biting good in the bays and creeks in 8 to 15 feet of water. Cutbait is working best.”
