Been on lake 3 times now. 1st time caught some fish. Last 2, NOTHING.
I am at a total lost for ideas. I am relatively new to bass fishing, but have still managed to find a few most places. I have also not fish in colder weather.
Today we tried a lot of different things. I am thinking I am spending too much time in unproductive areas. Seems like I am only finding fish deep but can't seem to get them to bite.
My son is getting pretty discuraged for next weekend.

I can't help with Anna. But why drive all the way up there from Chesterfield, when Chesdin has good bass and the James and Appomatox river are loaded. The barge pit stays warm a long time. Obvious structure and almost always holding fish. And if the younger one is getting board, have him tie on a 1/16 oz head with a 2" curly tail and fish right behind everything you just casted too. Won't be long, you will want to switch.
We do fish Chesdin. ( 2 miles away).
He isn't board he is getting discuraged because we can't seem to figure anything out at Anna.
He begged me to do the VDFT at Anna. So we have been trying to figure something out there.
Yesterday we tried finding bait fish with no real luck. Tried some shallower flats just off of deep water. Fished some docks and some points. We did find several fish near humps in deep water but could not get any to bite.

Try www.va-outdoors.com and read past Lake Anna fishing reports for this time of year.
I did read as much of them as I could. Will have to read though again and hope for the beat.

Anna's a finicky B..ch!! I can't tell you how many times we left discouraged and without a single fish. I've been going once per week since mid August. The time on the water has definitely paid off. I'm finally catching fish on every trip. Now have to figure out getting some bigger ones. I was on the lake yesterday as a boat captain for the high school tournament. We fished mid and down lake. My angler had good day, caught 8 and brought in a limit just over 8lbs. Finese and top water I think 10 and change won it. Fish to your strengths and keep at it. It will eventually pay off. I'll be fishing the Veterans Day Tournament also with my son who is in the USCG. Lets try and make contact so we can meet up sometime this winter.

How did Anna treat everyone yesterday beside being cold? We had our limit before 10 but could never cull up after that. Ended up with 5 for 5.38.

We had 3 for 6 something. One was 4.26. Lost a few around docks and 2 through the crank. Was a good time just way cold. Thanks to all
We had a big fat 0. My son didn't move til around 10am. I found some fish deep but could not figure out how to catch them.....
I think I spend too much time with unproductive water. But i really don't know. Was interesting to have to clear ice from guides most of the day.
Hopefully by next year I can get A LOT better.
