Lake Anna Report – September Charlie Bowles- Fishing Guide Charlie@cvofishing 540-287-3591 Pro Staff: Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Carbonlite Rods and Reels Lowrance Electronics Seaguar Flourocarbon This month is all about the early transition from summer to fall. All species of fish will begin to cover more water and feed a little more aggressively than they did during the heat of the summer. Look for great top water action and shallower feeding habits as the water temperatures begin to lower. Bass: September totally changes the playing field when it comes to bass fishing. In the past month most fish have been in deeper brush and channel edges seeking comfortable water temps and feeding sporadically. As September sets in the fish will begin to move a little more and suspend over or near slightly shallower structure with bait present. Depending on how quickly the water cools they will start hitting spinner baits and medium range crank baits more readily as well as slow sinking weightless baits like Senkos and Flukes. September will offer some great days of largemouth fishing but it can be very difficult to adapt to the changes of late Summer/ early Fall. Striper The linesiders in Lake Anna will be in the beginning stages of all out mayhem on resident baitfish. They’ll start to push up on very shallow flats and points in the mornings chasing gizzard and threadfin shad. Fan cast large shallow flats with super spooks and large poppers for the first 2 hours of light. Move out towards deeper water as the sun gets up. Once the fish have moved out of shallow water, use your sonar to locate schools of fish. You can use live bait if you are proficient in finding, catching and keeping it alive. Or you can jig ½ oz to 1 ounce spoons and blade baits in the school. You can also troll crank baits and swim baits with great success. Crappie Nice size slabs can be found all over the lake. Bridges, docks, brush piles, and beaver huts, are home to thousands of Crappie. One method is to try casting grubs, tubes, and beetle spins as close to whatever cover you are targeting. Another approach is to use a slip bobber above a #6 gold hook tipped with a small minnow. Guide Service We offer full and half day trips for all three species mentioned above.
