Hi All, New to the site. Curt Heidel is my name. Live full time at Lake Anna now for about 6 years. I have been fishing once in a while as I made the time, but in the past year started catching stripers. Before that I mostly catfished and drank beer. The stripers are addictive. I went out...

has anyone been catching any stripers at lake anna? or anything besides catfish??

The fish have schooled up and moving up the lake chasing bait. Topwaters in the AM and free lining shad at 20' after that.

Well boat problem after boat problem prevented me from hauling a boat down to the lake on Sat night. So we loaded up a canoe, only to find out that The state park campground pretty much sucks for anyone who wants to fish. The campground is at least a mile drive from the water, and at least a...

Hello, I am new to the forum and new to striper fishing. I was wondering if any Lake Anna fishermen know where the bait is this time of year. I know that in December the shad and herring had moved into the mouths of the creeks uplake, but I have not seen an updated report in a while. I have...

Lake Anna, VA 1/8/06. Water Temp 43.3 first thing in the morning, rose to 44.4 deg by 3pm. Air temp in the low to mid 20's at sunrise but reached 50 by mid afternoon. Birds everywhere from the 208 Bridge to the splits. This made fishing more difficult. There was bait everywhere. So much...

STRIPER Stripers have finally moved to the lower end (for the most part) still some fish in the splits area but most active fish are from Sturgeons to Dike III. The fish at Dike III have been smaller than normal for this time of year. Bigger fish should have already moved in. Topwater and...

STRIPER Schools of fish are popping up almost everywhere from Contrary Creek to Stubbs and Holiday Bridges. Most active area is from Pegion Creek to Jetts and Rose Valley Islands (the splits). Topwater and shallow water in the mornings and evenings, use XPS Slim Dog, or Z-Pop, and Cordell...
