Super User everythingthatswims Posted January 28, 2016 Super User Posted January 28, 2016 Fished sunup to sundown on my kayak at lake Anna today. Water temp was 48-49 degrees on the cold side, surprisingly I found a school of hungry bass and caught 8 of them on a 4" swing impact on a 1/8oz head. Hot side wasn't nearly as warm as usual, I started in 50 degree water and ended up in 59 degree water when I got closer to the plant. Fishing was really tough compared to usual on the hot side, I landed 16 largemouth there. 3 of them were on an alabama rig (two of which were caught at once!), and a couple on a 4" swing impact, but most of them ate either a pointer 100 or pointer 78. In the hot side I found a cove where a huge school of bass had pinned a school of shad the size of my living room to the very back of it. It looked like grass at first but then I paddled over and saw the thousands of shad too scared to leave the shallow water. I even tried chasing them back toward the bass to ignite the frenzy again but they wouldn't leave. I camped on the spot for a couple hours picking off fish when they would start schooling, it was a blast. Groups of 5-10 bass would follow the hooked fish to the boat when it was "on". The fish came in flurries today, I found the school at 3pm and had only landed 4 fish at that point. Best fish of the day, 18-19"ish The double COLD! 4 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 28, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 28, 2016 Doesn't sound like a slow day to me. I've been twice this year and have caught a grand total of 3 bass. Hoping to add to that total in a few hours though. 1 Quote

No, I went fishing at a power plant lake here in Kansas though. 8 bass is still more than I've caught total this year. Leaving in 30 minutes to go try to fix that though. Quote

Super User Sam Posted January 30, 2016 Super User Posted January 30, 2016 School still closed due to the snow or did you have a "fishing day" off? Great report and so glad you did well. Not too surprised to note the Hot Side was not that hot based on the snow and ice we received last weekend. Keep on trucking! Quote

That's no longer the case after Friday Quote
