My little guy says he'll wake up at 3:00am for a birthday trip to Anna, just me and him (he turns 8 on the 4th). The kid's a diehard and wants to "clean out" Anna next Saturday :Rofl. I hear going way upstream is good this time of year. If anyone has a destination I'd love to know it. Any help would be appreciated.
I think I am about the only one that posts here regularly about Anna. Weather earlier in week kept me from going to Anna. I decided to drag boat to Deltaville. Fish BDR, Diascund, LCR, and Chick for a while.. ( while I do repairs to my mobile home on Rapp river, may even pick up a croaker or 2 after replacement of bilge pump on my SW boat)
Back to lake Anna, I hit some 8-9" crappie, fishing slip bobbers, mid-lake coves, not too long ago. Just look for lay-downs or docks. Most of the people that work at landings will be glad to offer suggestions. BTW, last spring I did better on "upper end" of both Pamunkey and Anna arms.
There are BIG fish there ( seen them at landings), I just have not found them. I hope someone does post, we need some more Anna guys!
Tell me! Every time I say Anna around here everyone's like- Anna, what? How can no one not know anything about that nuclear heated monster lake?? It's 2 hours from me, but worth the drive. I can get on the upper arms in minutes, won't be a problem.Quote:

Thanks for your input. I hope to have something together for this boy by Sat.
If you launch out of Anna point talk to Chris Craft. He will put you on the crappie
Hey thanks! Not sure what we're doing now. My little guy saw a picture of Anna stripers...(oh brother). I'm just gonna pack every rod I have and see what's going on when we get there.Quote:

You fish Anna often? I know of 1 citation caught just above that bridge last time I was there ( I fish close to 522 bridge often when at Anna)Quote:

Anna point annual permit here too! ( I fish weekdays) I am sure many here would enjoy reading any reports you care to post, we get very few from Anna!
I may not get back to Anna till fall :(
i will try to start posting reports after each trip. I only started crappie Fishing a little over a year ago so the reports may not be full of technical info.
Don't worry about packing each report with details. Everyone loves pretty pictures, but what's most important is water conditions and the bite. I base my choice of destinations on water conditions, especially water temperature, clarity, level (if it's significantly above or below full pool), and "obstacles" such as mud, ice, debris, leaves and other treefall, and SAV. I can't know these things unless I was there recently or someone else observed and reported. Having good info on water conditions can save me several hours on the highway and redirect me to another fishery that's in better condition. It's also encouraging (or discouraging) to know how strong the bite was--but this can change in a matter or hours. Thanks in advance for helping all of us fish smarter!Quote:
