BASS REPORT:  The bass fishing has been decent over the last week with some decent fish being caught all over the lake along the river channel ledges. Most of the bass are being caught in the deeper water as well using a Carolina Rig or a deep diving crank bait like the DD-22 or the new Bandit 700 series. The bass are also holding really tight to the cover so when you get that crank bait down and hit the stump that is usually when you will get the bite. There are also a few bass being caught by flipping a jig around the docks but you are still going to have to find the structure. Fishing IN the structure is the key to catching these fish during this time of year. There have been a few bass tournaments this past week that produced a few 17-18 pound stringers but most anglers averaging 10-12 pounds.

STRIPER REPORT:  The striper fishing has been decent over the last week with some nice fish being caught along the Coosa River channel below the Cedar Bluff Bridge. Most of these have been averaging 2-5 pounds but there have been a few in the 8-12 pound range caught. These fish are being taken along the river channel ledges in 15-20 feet of water on live bait. As the water continues to warm these fish will be moving into Little River, Yellow Creek and the Chattooga River in search of cooler water.

I will be out on the water for the next several days and I hope to have another good report for you around the middle of the week. Remember there is a 10 inch size limit on Crappie on Weiss Lake and the daily creel limit is 30 per person, per day! See Ya on the Water...
