Crappie is the only species this Centre, Alabama operation targets, and the guide varies presentation with the calendar: dock shooting, long line trolling in spring, and spider rigging brush and river channel ledges through summer and fall. Darrell Baker owns and runs the service and states 49 years of fishing experience on Weiss Lake. He supplies the boat, life jackets, gas, tackle and all artificial bait, so anglers bring a license and clothing for the day. Weiss Lake is a 30,200 acre Alabama Power reservoir in the northeastern corner of the state, fed by the Coosa, Chattooga and Little rivers, with roughly 447 miles of shoreline and a mix of shallow flats, large coves, underwater drop offs and deep channels. The dam that formed it was begun in 1958 and finished three years later, and at full summer pool the lake sits 564 feet above sea level. Two windows are named for planning a trip: January through April, and a fall season that opens in late September and runs into December. The same site carries a running fishing report, a trip planner and a photo gallery, and notes that marinas, campgrounds and bait and tackle stores ring the lake.
