June fishing is going out like a Lion continuing to produce

great catches of Stripers. Lake Anna is an incredible fishery

and the summer bite will only get better as we move into July.

Nice Lake Anna Stripers

Tony took his crew out this morning and put them on some nice Stripers. Stringer pictures really don't show a good example of actually how big the fish are. Tony is holding two of the Stripers that are on the lower bar in the middle. June is just about over and was a great month but I believe July Striper fishing will be even better. Want to see you in one of these pictures? Contact us to reserve a charter and we will Hook You Up!

Sunny and Pleasant, Water Temperature 84* and Stained

After this weekends flooding of the lake some may have thought it may be difficult to catch fish in these conditions so I asked Robert yesterday if he wanted to postpone to another day but he had confidence we could catch them today so we gave it a try. He took his daughter in law and some of the grandkids out and we had a ball. Robert has two upscale furniture stores in town, Classic Furniture and Essentials. The lake has dropped back to normal pool after rising 2 feet last Friday and flooding just about everything. Up lake is a mud bog, mid lake is stained to the 208 and down lake is still pretty clear in the main lake and stained in the creeks. Should have some excellent fishing coming up in the near future.

Cloudy, Rain, Nasty

Bryan didn't let 5 or 6 inches of rain slow him down

on Friday fishing for Stripers. He dodged all the debris 

on the lake and fished in the pouring rain to catch these 

nice Stripers. Can't keep a good man down!

Tony took his clients out this morning and put them on these nice Stripers. Summer fishing on Lake Anna can be incredible as you can see by this picture and all the pics I post on my daily journal and on Facebook. My guides and myself work together to constantly put our clients on Stripers and for them to have one of the best days of fishing that one can imagine. It is not uncommon in the summer to go out and catch 50 to 100 Stripers a morning. Yesterday I went through 300 baits by noon....that is a lot of action! Although we are booked for Fathers Day a fishing trip makes a good present and lasting memories. Contact us to reserve your special day on the Lake catching Stripers with Lake Anna Striper Guide Service, you won't regret it!

This morning it felt more like April than it did June with the rain and wind blowing across the lake. Although my clients were cold most of the time they didn't feel it when they were reeling in Stripers. We burnt up 300 baits this morning having a ball wrestling Stripers on Lake Anna.

Striper fishing continues to get better and better and June progresses. Bryan had a early morning charter and out of 25 Stripers they caught they had 20 nice keepers. His group only wanted to keep a few so the rest were released unharmed. Preacher Ross guided Doug to a limit and Tony had his hands full with his group. Everyone had a lot of fun and enjoyed being on beautiful Lake Anna. If you would like to go, contact:

Tuesday Morning on Lake Anna

Lake Anna Striper fishing is the bomb!

Justin, Scott, Patricia, Liam, Danny and Jacob

Sunny and Warm, Water Temperature 83* and clear.

This morning I put 240 baits in the tanks, picked up my clients and went searching for schools of Stripers. We looked for about 15 minutes and set up on a few pods of fish but I believe the cold front that blew through yesterday messed the bite up for awhile. About 9 o'clock Tony called and said he found the mother load so I went to him to see what he was talking about. We set up on them with 10 downlines and for the next two hours straight we constantly reeled in fish. What I mean by that is we had 3 or 4 Stripers on a once for over 2 hours! Thankfully Tony brought us 150 more baits before we ran out. Patricia was manning two rods in the back of the boat and literally before she could get both in the water one would hook up. I believe she actually got frustrated because it was too much action! She and the rest of the crew worked together as a team to keep on the school and catch so many Stripers. This morning we took at least 350 hits and who knows how many fish we actually boated. This kind of fishing is as intense as it gets. Once everyone understands hot to deploy the baits to the exact depth the game is on. Hard to imagine what it is like without actually experiencing it in person. Thanks to Scott and Danny for helping remove the fish so we could keep baits in the water.  If you want to try this kind of fishing get a crew of people and we will hook you up.

A Rainy Sunday morning on Lake Anna

 Kelly and Dan

Andy, Lisa, Jeff and Lori

These hardy souls braved an inch and half of rain this morning

 fishing and catching Stripers. Good job everyone!

A Saturday morning on Lake Anna

 This is what a school of Stripers look like. The left screen is using fish reveal and the right side is traditional sonar set at 200khz. Fish Reveal shows the larger fish in the school as bright yellow where 200khz shows the larger fish with a red core. Notice how much more defined the reveal is!

 Sidescan pic of the same school. Both of these pics were taken after the chaos had called down and after all the fish were taken care of..Wish I had time to snap a shot when we were all hooked up.

 Stripers up on a shallow hump.
