Fished the hot side of Lake Anna on February 9th and 10th and had a phenomenal two days of fishing. Fish were on shallow rocky points and stumps in shallow pockets. Most fish were two pounds or less, but I caught a few over three, too. I caught more than 50 bass over two days.

Fish are still out in deeper water. Looked for those moving into the shallows to spawn, but did not find any yet. Soon!!

Spent a lot of time looking for and finding fish offshore, but could not get them to bite Damiki, dropshot, jerk bait, or anything similar. Only a. Couple of small ones. Found bait near riprap and bass willing to attach a Spinnerbait.

Spent most of the day shallow, anticipating bass were moving up. Caught several small buck bass. Headed out toward pepper water and got one 4-8 in about 6' of water. Tried to head out deeper, but the wind was blowing too much to fish effectively. Continued to hit secondary points that had some shelter from the wind. With a little less wind, deep brush pils would likely have been the ticket.

The bass seemed to be all over the place in the water column. We caught some bass in 5-7ft of water and some 15-17ft of water. The bass that came out of the 15-17ft of water shot up the get the jerkbait. They were eating it head first no short strikes. Majority of the bass came off of mid lake points but we had a few come off the north side riprap. For working the jerkbait I would start with either one or two pops of the rod then pause for roughly two seconds before I did one or two pops again. They usually hit it after the pause, but I had a few the biggest of the day hit it during the twitching of the rod. Leaving it in the strike zone for as long as possibly really allowed me to capitalize on the bass being aggressive especially in the deeper water where they swam up to get my jerkbait.
