Lake Weiss Fishing Reports – June 2021

Weiss: Level: 0.3 feet below full pool. Temp: Low 70s. Clarity: Light stain.

Bass: Guide and tournament pro Mike Carter reports, “Weiss has gotten exciting with the consistent grass bite from postspawn bass feeding back up from their stressful spawn. Choo Choo Lures swim jigs with Lip Rippin Lures Craw trailers has been the ticket for some consistent action. Another fun bite for this time of year is using Snagproof Frogs in these grass areas. These Weiss bass absolutely crush a frog when they see it in the grass. The numbers may not be as much with a frog compared to a swim jig, but the quality will dang sure enough make up for it. The lake is at summer pool level, and even though the recent cold front caused the water temps drop into the upper 50s, the warmer days ahead will definitely get things back to normal and push the water temps back up into the upper 60s where they’re supposed to be for this time of year. Get out and have some fun!” Guide Mark Collins reports, “Bass fishing is fair, and most fish have spawned. Spinnerbaits and ChatterBaits in and around the grassbeds are producing fish.”

Crappie: Guide Mark Collins reports, “Fair. They have spawned and started moving to deeper brush on Weiss. Spider rigging with live minnows over brush near the spawning areas is the way to catch these postspawn fish.”
