I
am wondering where Old Man Winter is at this year. The
calendar says it is February, but the temps feel more
like late March early April. The water temps are way
above average for this time of year. No ICE any where on
the lake. The fish are eagerly taking all kinds of bait
presentations. The HOT TOPIC in the bass fishing
world are MULTI ARM RIGS (Alabama Rig). These rigs are
catching Bass & Striper here at the lake. At Anna Point
Marina we carry several different variations of the
A-Rig. Venom Lures Pay-Me-Rig, Toothe Ache Extractor rig
(E-Rig) & Dave's Tournament Tackle Cast-A-Brella Rig.
We
also have a very unique MULTI ARM made by good friend
and client, Darin Clements. The 208 Crappie Rig is sold
EXCLUSIVLY at Anna Point Marina. I had the opportunity
to finally try them on the Hot Side and had GREAT
results. Stop by Anna Point Marina and DEMO any of these
MULTI ARM RIGS for yourself.
BASS- The green fish have been very active all winter.
With the mild temps there has been very little cabin
fever for our anglers. Multi Arm rigs are catching there
fair share of fish. These rigs paired with Bass Assassin
Sea Shads are a deadly combination. Look for fish to be
close to deep water just in case OLD MAN WINTER makes a
showing. The fish have been really shallow the past 2
weeks. Water temps here at mid lake have not dropped
below 42 degrees as of this time. Suspending jerkbaits,
Tiger Shad Spinnerbaits, Burton Minnow's & Shaky head
plastics are also working well.
STRIPER- The Linesides are making their way back up in
the rivers with the above average temps. Look for active
fish around Christopher Run, Harris Pond, Terrys Run &
the S-Turns in Pamunky. Bass Assassin Sea Shads, Multi
Arm Rigs, Toothe Ache Spoons and jerkbaits are all
producing fish. Down at Dike 3, there are loads of sub
keeper stripers willing to take your offerings. There
are keepers mixed in with them as well. This is a great
place to take the youngsters to for ROD
ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRAPPIE- The Specks are on the move and eagerly taking
small minnows and jigs at the present time. Yesterday
(2-2-12) a good friend of mine caught over 300 crappie
in 2-5 feet of water. The weather will play a major role
on the Crappie this month, if it stays above average
look for March to be one of the best on record!!!!!!!!
