I first met Bob at Anna Point about a month and a half ago. We talked fishing for about 45min before he went out. He called me a few days after and wanted to book a trip for crappie. We pulled out of Anna Point about 7:30am and was looking for some bonus striper action at first. The day dawned cool and very CLEAR!!!!! That was the reason the stripers did not materialize.
The water temps throughout the lake are in the upper 60's to low 70's. I ran up in the Pamunkey arm and started fishing boat docks and rock piles, these all had fish on the but only yielded 3 keepers for us. It was time to make a move and I ran all the way over to North Anna and pulled up on a brush pile. We caught 1 good keeper there and was on the move yet again. I finally pulled up to one of my favorite docks, it has a good rock pile underneath and we started putting KEEPERS in the live well. we caught approx 50 fish and kept around 22 of them. The big fish went 1lb 6oz and had several right at the 1lb mark.
We had to get the bait way up under the dock to get a bite. They were all in 3 feet of water and was willing to take my 2" curly tail on a 1/16oz jig head. We are entering the best part of the fall crappie fishing, it will get much better as the water temps start to fall off. Thanks Bob & Josh for a great day on the water!!!!!!!!
