I took my kayak to the hot side of Lake Anna today, I would have fished the main lake but there was a tournament today, in addition to the weekend crowd when most of Central VA is packed into a 5,000 acre lake, and as much as I like fishing behind people.........

Turns out I made a pretty good choice, today was a blast! Most fish had moved up and were extremely shallow. Shallow, crystal clear water, and skittish fish may not sound like fun fishing to some, but I love it. I fished sunup to sundown, and ended up landing 52 bass. I also kept track of my best five (12.47lbs). Most fish today were 12-13", I only landed four fish over 2lbs. The biggest fish of the day was hanging out near a boat ramp in the back of a cove, and after presenting both a senko and a shakey head to the fish, I left for a few minutes and returned with a drop shot, which she was very fond of. I guess she had just spawned out, because she was 21" long and only weighed 3&1/2 pounds. The main baits for me today were: Keitech Swing Impact Fat 4.8" weightless/weedless, a shakey head, and a senko. I would cover water with the swimbait and cast to targets or fish that I spotted with the other baits. I'm still not sure how 12" fish were eating that swimbait with ease!
