Now booking trips Spring crappie seasons...Call today to reserve your dates!!!

CRAPPIE: The Spring 2012 crappie season is beginning here on Weiss Lake! We have had a really warm winter here in Alabama and the water temperatures are rising and the crappie are on the move. The fish are beginning to leave the channel ledges and move into the creek and coves and the trolling bite is really improving. We have had a lot of rain in the last few weeks and the water has been muddy but it is now clearing and the fish are feeding. I was out yesterday (Thursday) fishing with Michael "Tiny" Jarrell from the Weiss Lake Lodge here in Centre. We had a really good day and caught a nice stringer of crappie trolling 1/16 ounce Southern Pro Hot Grubs. We caught our fish on a variety of colors but the two best colors were Black/Chartreuse and Wildcat. The fishing will continue to improve over the next few weeks as the spring season really starts up. The weather forecast is calling for rain on Saturday but the next week is supposed to be nice with sunshine and highs in the upper 50's and 60's. This should really help the fishing! I will be out on the water over the next few days and I hope to have another good report for you in a few days!  Our Spring crappie season is getting underway here on Weiss Lake so if you are interested in a trip give us a call for a list of open dates.  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!

You can now get all of your Southern Pro Jigs from Tiny and BJ at Pop's Crappie Shed located at the Weiss Lake Lodge 998 Cedar Bluff Road in Centre! Just look for the big fish!
