Anything you can tell me about crappie fishing on Weiss Lake?
If you ever wanted to have a great day of fishing for crappies, then Weiss Lake is where you want to be. It is known as the fishing capital of the world for crappies. The crappie has to be ten inches or longer to keep, but next year, the slightly fewer than ten inch crappies are going to be abundant in the lake. The best months to fish for crappies are March, April and May, but November, October and September are not far behind. The anglers are saying that you should use a hair jig or a 1/8 ounce plastic jig. You can also use a float with a minnow underneath it. Two things to remember is that you can only fish one to three lines at a time and if you are from out of state, you can only transport one days catch over the state lines. Besides these regulations, the fishing is great. You can easily catch your limit every day since the crappie population is large. The bass are starting to show more on the lake as well and soon will become abundant and this could cause some problems for crappie anglers. If you have bad luck catching crappies on other waters, you want to try your luck on Weiss Lake where the population of crappies is abundant and the fish are ready to be caught. Instead of fishing the spring spawn, you can fish the fall months and have just as many catches to take home with you.
