    Lake Anna

    Have the crappie and bass started spawning on Anna yet and what’s the water temps showing. Headed down in a couple days and wanted to see how the bite is.

    I was out on Lake Anna yesterday. Valentines was 57.6 degrees, with some good plankton green to the water. Fish are still prespawn. Terry's run was 57 degrees and very much pre-spawn and the water was pretty dirty. I don't fish for crappy, but they are schooled up big time based on my electronics and getting closer to spawn. I checked some of the traditional spawning coves and didn't find them, and the tell tale is that I was not catching a any bucks, rather pre-spawn females. I know a person who won a Tx on Saturday, and he was fishing a 3/4 spinnerbait slow rolling it in 10-20 foot of water around the 208 bridge (over 20lbs) I don't have access to the hot side, but according to the website, pool 1 is 72 and pool 3 is 65, and intake at the plant is 55. https://www.dominionenergy.com/proje...tment-facility

    It’s possible a few may have on the moon at end of March, but it would be limited. Crappie mostly in 10-15 ft. If we can avoid any major temp swings, the next 2 weeks should lead up to the major wave of bass spawning down and up lake. Mid lake is a little cooler and we may see a little delay.
    Of course the rain will get here just in time to make it a wet weekend.
