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.

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.

Fished a club tournament on Lake Anna and caught largemouth on main lake docks with water depths between 10 and 15 feet on the outer edge. I also caught fish on docks within coves and creeks where the docks were within 100 to 150 feet of the main lake. Continuing warm weather has kept most fish from transitioning to fall locations and patterns, which is why main lake cover and structure played a prominent part in most anglers, including my own, fishing last Saturday. I caught fish by skipping Keitech Swing Impact Swimbaits (bluegill flash) rigged on 1/8oz Gamakatsu Horizon Head Jigs under docks. I also caught bass on the edge of docks on lightly weighted, Texas rigged Zoom Trick worms (black) on Mustad Alpha Point Alpha-Grip Finesse Hooks (1/0).

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