Who he is on the water

Darrell Baker is a professional crappie angler based in Centre, Alabama who has fished Weiss Lake for over forty years. Weiss Lake Crappie Guides runs two boats year-round so the service can cover multiple parties without rescheduling. Baker's in-season techniques rotate with the calendar: dock shooting in the cooler months, long-line trolling in the Spring, and spider-rigging brush plus fishing river-channel ledges in Summer and Fall. January through April is the Spring trip window he publishes; Fall fishing starts in late September and runs into December. Darrell and Weiss Lake Crappie Guides have been featured in In-Fisherman, Crappie NOW, Brush Pile Fishing, and Krappie Kings, along with dozens of local and national publications. The boat, life jackets, gas, tackle, and all artificial bait are provided. Call 256-557-0129 or text the same number to book; email darrell@weisslakecrappieguides.com for inquiries.
