Lake Anna Trip- Warm side

[NewAngler]

Talks of this have stopped. We still want to try and head down? I'm down to beat the bank, or bring the yak. I just read from Wayne P. that the water temp was 70.... TOP WATER! Lets roll!!

[Thai]

The problem with that is that most shoreline is private property..

And there are no public launch ramps, you pretty much have to have permission from a landowner to use their launch or their access to the community launch...

As far as we know only Steve is a landowner with access to a launch here. Everything must be done at his discretion. So lets wait until he chimes in, I'm sure he's more than happy to get the ball rolling again.

My truck is broke right now, not only is it not running but I think I broke an airbag in the rear suspension cuz its sittin lopsided. So I cant decide what I wanna do with it, just dump it for cheap as is and buy something else or fix it. I just been lazy about it really. If someone wants to tow my boat out of my garage and launch it for me then great. My other truck is an older toyota and it doesnt do so well with my bassboat on the back. Im down for goin whenever just as long as someone has a decent truck to bring down and help me out. Last time I was there tho , the water wasnt very warm cuz of a reactor that broke down. I dunno the status now, maybe its all back to normal but the water wasnt even close to 70 degrees when I was there recently. I did talk to CC McCotter at the show last week and he told me exactly where to go and what to throw to catch the stripers and LMB on my side of the lake.

Just a clarification Steve wouldnt need you to tow his boat from NOVA to Anna, it's already down there he just needs someone with a truck to launch it

[Wayne P.]

I read a post on another fishing site from a guy I know that was fishing there around the 6th of Jan. and the water temp was 70. He was catching schooling bass on topwater lures with the air temp in the teens.

I'm pitching a tent just thinking about it..... :

We need to get down there ASAFP ;D

[NewAngler]

I should be able to borrow my brothers explorer. It's a 1996, and I'm not sure what kind of tow package it has, but if it is a short haul, it should suffice.

[soccplayer07]

steve. ill bring my boat down via my truck. Launch my boat then hook yours up and launch it!!! Lets go.

[Thai]

Steve and I went out today with two of steve's friends, 3 bass were caught between the four of us....3 of which were mine  ;D

But we also talked about going to Anna, it seems the best day would be this sunday, air temps are suppose to be in the mid 50's and with an overcast I can see us really killing it on topwater down there. I'll wait for Steve to get on and chime in but as of now I say we shoot for Sunday

[NewAngler]

My brothers bachelor party is Saturday. I'm gonna be nursing a wicked hangover on sunday. Oh yea, and ita championship Sunday, I'm out.

[quanjig]

Any limit on who can participate?  Is this an open invite to NOVA crew?  Sounds very fun!!

[soccplayer07]

I forgot about Football. Count me out as well.

If we do this all participates will be put through a rigorous screening process by yours truly  ;D

And I do have favorites, and since these guys are dropping like flies how about Saturday then

[Bigs]

I cant do it saturday. And I wanna watch football sunday. So we'll probably shoot for the following weekend. Who's game for the following sunday ? Post up if so.  Aaron and quan you guys wanna come and bring your boats then do it. New Angler Im sure you can get on one of our boats no prob but I would bring your kayak as well. The water there is still as glass and its great conditions for fishing with small craft such as a jon boat or kayak. I should have my truck up and goin by then.

[soccplayer07]

Next Sunday works for me. I may be bringing my brother along which means I have room for one more, possibly two.

[RockvilleMDAngler]

Hey Steve I would LOVE to come and fish the hot side if there is room for another boater. 

[Bigs]

There's always room for you Marc even if you are a Steelers fan so no worries  :. I have someone in mind to join you too. So dont promise anyone a spot on your boat please. I say we go the weekend after this weekend.

[Thai]

Obviously I am all for it, now who's boat can I fish off of

I pick..

John's! I have a feeling I can learn a thing or two from that guy  ;D

[soccplayer07]

I say we do a mini tourney again.

[RockvilleMDAngler]

I could do Sunday the 31st but not that Saturday :-(  My club is having a seminar on the 30th with Jamie Fralick and Steve Chaconas and I have to be there.

[quanjig]

Thai, sorry , I wasn't keeping current on the thread and mentioned Anna to my buddy whose boat is a little closer to Steve. Steve, I hope I am not overstepping my bounds here, but I'm not sure my trailer is long trip worthy at this point in the year. If he cannot go, I can see if I have time to get a little maintenance worked out on the trailer. Let me know.

Thanks

Jon
