We are booking fast for the fall crappie season...call today to reserve your dates!

CRAPPIE: Well the Dog Days of Summer are here and the crappie fishing on Weiss Lake is slow!  The temperatures have been soaring to near 100 degrees each day with a heat index of 110-113 and this has really made the crappie tough to catch. The fish are deep and a few are being caught on minnows along the channel ledges. They have been holding tight to the stumps, brush and other structure that can be found along the ledges with your electronics. If you are not fishing structure you are not going to catch many fish. If you are going to try to catch a few fish you better be on the water at daylight and fish until mid-morning or fish at night under the lights.  There have been a few small stringer of crappie being caught with most averaging 15-18 keepers or less. This will change over the next couple of months because the fall fishing season is getting close! The fall crappie season will get underway around the end of September and continue into November. The crappie will really get active as soon as we get cooler temperatures and the surface temps fall. I am really booking up fast for the Fall 2010 season as well as the 2011 Spring season which starts in February and runs through April. The dates are filling up really fast so if you want to book a crappie trip for fall or spring you better give me a call ASAP to get your dates reserved. The fish are 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!
