My brothers and I made a trip to Lake Anna early this morning, to fish the "hot side", a series of cooling pools for a nuclear power plant. They stay pretty warm in the winter and are packed with lots of hungry little guys so we always take our kayaks out there for some fun.  We fished 62 degree water today, visibility was around 8 feet but the wind was ripping so finicky was not in their vocabulary.

They were up on the banks and feeding heavy, I was fishing a 4" swing impact on 1/8th jighead and went through two packs of them (all I had!). The fish were biting so well that I tied on a spook, in crystal clear water and bright sunshine at noon they jumped on it like they were starving! Shakey heads produced plenty of fish on docks as well, one particular dock produced a 21" saugeye that I gladly put on ice. 

We also spent some time where the water enters the normal lake ("cold side") from the cooling pools. Lots of current and lots of bait. We didn't find any big stripers but plenty of small ones up to 18" were willing to play including a couple hybrids which are a new addition to the lake thanks to the department of game and inland fish. A chunky 19" largemouth introduced herself to my spook at the end of the day while we were striper fishing, I don't think I could have asked for a better day!

Great day on the water, and the Santa hat is a nice touch. 

WTG!  It sounds like you had a great time.

Killing them!

Great day!  Congrats.
