Lake Anna Fun

 Anthony and Sons

Donald, Bubba and Bryan

Sunny, Windy and Pleasant, Water Temperature 68* and Clear

Today I took Anthony and his sons out for some catching. We had a cold front blow through yesterday so I was prepared to do what it took to put fish in the boat. I set out 10 planner boards and 6 downlines and simply kept the baits wet. We caught fish from 5 to 15 feet deep and had almost constant action. I don't think the boys were expecting to be so busy but they did excellent and caught most of the fish that hooked up. We all had a great time, kept a few fish to eat and threw back too many to count. Bryan took out Bubba and Donald for a few hours in the afternoon and caught a bunch of nice fish as well. We have experienced a slow February and March but April fishing is coming on strong. The lake is behind about a month so expect to see fishing the next few months to be excellent..

A Fun Day on Lake Anna

 My Lovely Wife Jeanne

Karen and Gang

I got out early this morning to catch bait for my clients [which was tough, thousands of small baits gilling in the net]. Clients needed fishing licenses but it took 30 minutes to get them this morning so we had a late start. We set up over a mid depth flat and started taking hits but mostly small fish. As the morning progressed the larger fish got active and we were having better hook-ups. We only fished four hours, caught a bunch of punks, 8 nice keepers and lost a few nicer fish that we could not land. It was a great morning, plenty of action, calm beautiful weather and beautiful Lake Anna. When I got to the marina to take pictures my wife called and said she was only a couple of miles away and had two free hours so we went out to fish some different places. I set out a dozen boards and next thing we knew half of them were hooked up and pulling drag! We boated four of them and set them out again. For an hour we constantly had fish on and had to quit because Jeanne could no longer reel any in. We lost count of how many fish we caught but we only kept six  to eat and give away and released well over a dozen more. I wish it could have been that frantic for my clients but I think it was the time of day that helped us. Just finished eating Striper for dinner and checking out the bruises on my wife's belly from reeling in Lake Anna Stripers! To book a charter, contact

Stripers are starting to feed on a regular basis now.

Spring Break on Lake Anna

Ryan and Ben

Sunny, Water Temperature 63* 
These young men are spending their spring break down here on 
the Lake and took a morning charter with me to have some fun.
We had good action for four hours straight. The guys battled 
Stripers all morning, winning some and loosing some. Bet they 
will remember this trip for quite some time.

Lake Anna Striper Fishing










I am going to resume posting our catches of Stripers on Lake Anna. For many months fishing has been only fair for Stripers on the lake but it appears the warmer weather and the urge to spawn are turning the fish on. We are confident the bite is back and are now taking reservations.  To book your charter, contact
