Those lures should work, Jim! I think I saw a crappie show on tv a while back from that location. Some big craps "spider rigging"! Good luck!

 

Thanks C.J., I expect they will.

I'm hoping some guys who've fished Weiss will post here with some tips?

 

Here a link to the jiffy jigs I was telling you about the other day.

Those jigs with the rubber body and marabou tails were always popular down at Weiss back when we used to go. All the baits shops used to carry them.
Popular colors were triple blue and bubble gum/pink. Usually someone will tell you what's been hot.

Here's a tip I forgot to mention to you.
A lot of these southern lakes allow people to sink brush. Also a lot of these southern lake have a ton of dock in them. If you see a dock and the dock has rod holders on them there will more than likely be some kind of sunken brush out in front of those rod holders. eg: rod holders are on right side of dock, probably some sunken brush on the right side of the dock too. This hold true on Ky Lake also.

I'm going to be down there from the 25th to the 29th.

 

Thanks for the link John, I'll check them out. They sound promising.

 

That was the ticket when we went down.

 

kycreek, when did you go down?
What color combo worked for you? I'm looking for a starting point.

 

Truth is it's been several years since we went down. I didn't mean to imply it was lately. But the Jiffy jigs were what everybody was using. The colors we had the most luck with were a 2 tone blue and a blue/chartreuse combo. We stayed at Bay Springs & fished that area up to Yellow creek. Good luck ....

 

I'd like to try it sometime.
