Lake Weiss Fishing Report
- DATE: 8-23-00
LAKE LEVEL: 560.7
NORMAL POOL: 564.0
SURFACE TEMP: 94.6*F
WATER CLARITY: Normal
CRAPPIE: Crappie fishing is Zero. Too HOT!!
BASS: The bass fishing is slow. We recently had a 65 boat tournament and
13lbs. won it. All the fish were caught Carolina rigged on shallow humps
and drops. Most of the fish that were caught were spots.3-5 ft.
deep. Makes no sense at all but that is where they were.
BREAM: Very slow.
CATFISH: Large stringers are being caught at night. Fish deep. Cut bait
seems to work the best.
WHITE BASS: White bass are still zip.
The nights are finally starting to cool down in the low 70's.After
several days of 104-105 temps. If the trend to cool down continues, in a
week to 10 days, fishing should start to pick up. But, we have another
little problem, lake is down 4 feet due to no rain. We badly need rain to
cool the water and to help put oxygen into it. Being a shallow lake, at
full pool, this lake can hurt you. At 4 foot low I would strongly advise
caution on operating your water craft on this lake!!! Be real sure of
where you are and the depths around you. (or we may have 1 big 1/2 off
prop & lower unit sale).. LOL
As usual if I can be of any help don't hesitate to "holler". But, before
you "holler", please look at the whole site as we have a lot of info
that may be of interest to you. www.lakeweissguideservice.com
