Lake Anna Bass Fishing April |
For the past three and half weeks we have had a million fronts push through, 7 day stretches of sustained wind over 15 mph, and falling water temps. Now the barometer and the thermometer seem to have stabilized and my notes on Lake Anna are beginning to resemble years past. Water temperatures are rising again and bass are plentiful on secondary points /
near the spawning pockets just begging to eat a carolina rig. Good numbers of crappie are being caught in key grass beds and shallow brush on soft plastics and minnows. The big schools of stripers are still in the rivers following large schools of bait. Live bait is the way to go for now but the trolling bite shouldn't be too far away. As water temps continue to climb next month, watch for the stripers to start spilling into mid-lake hot spots. In my opinion if you want to catch stripers tomorrow, early is the way to go. Late afternoon seems to be the ticket for bass and crappie right now. Waves of spawning largemouth will continue to show up (I don't think it will be as gratuitous as we saw in March). Look for a dynamite topwater bite early in the morning over the coming weeks. It is still fishing and what worked today might not tomorrow, especially during this time of year when the fish are known to be in motion constantly. Nothing trumps time on the water so dust off that tackle box and let's get to it!
It's very excellent big fish. Your fishing experience is great.
