 Bryan and I are constantly looking for fish to take our clients

 on future trips. Here are a few we caught in a 3 hour period.

Spring is here, fish are either spawning or seriously thinking

about it and feeding well. Want to get out of the house and 

enjoy beautiful Lake Anna and catch some fish? Contact:

Lake Anna Stripers are waking up!

 Anthony [Interstate Batteries], Bryan Jones and Anthony Hicks

Another interesting day...Woke up to snow mixed with rain. We met at 9 then went to catch bait. After 2 hours of throwing we had plenty of baits then went fishing. By now the wind had blown in bluebird sky's and the temps were now up to 42*. In the back of everyone's mind we were asking ourselves why did we come out here on such a bad day. Oh well, we tried to make the most of it. Fishing started out slow but after catching a couple we looked for other places to fish and eventually found some fish that would hit us but were lethargic in wanting to commit to the baits. After about 5 hours we got dialed in and spanked the fish. Bryan was the star of the day, he was catching fish 4 to 1 over the two Anthony's. We fished till we ran out of bait, caught 30 Stripers for a nice day. Largest fish was 14 pounds.

Lake Anna Cold Front Stripeers

 Glen and Bryan

Yesterday we had two sets of clients cancel out and we had already planned on going fishing so Bryan and I met first thing in the morning and went out. On the way to the marina it was 31 degrees, quite a change from the 80"s a couple days earlier. As we went to catch bait we noticed the water temps had dropped from 65 two days ago to 56 this morning. The bait had pulled out off the banks and went deep, making them hard to catch. After two hours of throwing we had about 60 nice baits and went fishing. We didn't have clients so we decided to do something completely different trying to locate fish for another day. We put out only four baits and for about two hours we would get bit about every 10 to 15 minutes. The Stripers were not aggressive but by fishing this particular pattern we hooked up with about 20 nice fish and kept a few for us and our friends for an Easter diner on Sunday. Spring weather fluctuates so much you have to be prepared to change up your tactics to continually catch fish. 80 degrees last week, 31Saturday morning, rain, high winds and tornado warnings for tonight and tomorrow morning, back down into the 30's next week, CRAZY!
