Seasonal Fishing Tips
Weiss Lake offers exceptional fishing opportunities throughout the year, with each season bringing its own unique strategies for anglers. Whether you’re chasing crappie, bass, or other species, understanding seasonal patterns can significantly improve your success on the water.
Spring: Spawning Season Success
Spring is one of the most exciting times to fish on Weiss Lake, especially for crappie. During their spawning season, crappie move into shallow waters, making them easier to target. Using jigs or live minnows near brush piles, docks, and submerged vegetation can yield incredible results. Bass also become highly active as water temperatures warm, particularly around submerged structures and vegetation. Casting crankbaits or soft plastics in these areas is an effective approach.
Summer: Early Bird Advantage
As temperatures rise, fish become more active during the cooler parts of the day. Early mornings and evenings are perfect for topwater bass fishing, with lures like poppers and frogs delivering explosive strikes. Crappie retreat to deeper brush piles and submerged structures, where small jigs or minnows can still entice a bite. For catfish enthusiasts, summer nights are ideal for bottom fishing with cut bait or stink bait.
Fall: Prime Time for Anglers
Cooler temperatures in fall bring fish closer to the surface and into shallower areas, creating excellent conditions for trolling or casting. Crappie and bass are particularly active as they feed aggressively before winter. Target bass along rocky points and submerged timber with spinnerbaits or jerkbaits, while crappie can be caught using small jigs in mid-depth waters. The lake’s scenic beauty during fall adds to the overall experience, making it a favorite season for many anglers.
Winter: Deep-Water Rewards
While winter fishing may require a bit more patience and preparation, it’s a rewarding time for dedicated anglers. Crappie school up in deeper waters, and vertical jigging with subtle movements is one of the most effective techniques for enticing bites. Lojo highlights the importance of targeting submerged structures and using a delicate presentation during the colder months. His approach led to an impressive haul, proving that Weiss Lake’s reputation for year-round crappie fishing is well-deserved. Click here to watch his video!
