Largemouth BassTechniqueHard JerkbaitsSeasonWinterStructurePointsThe bass seemed to be all over the place in the water column. We caught some bass in 5-7ft of water and some 15-17ft of water. The bass that came out of the 15-17ft of water shot up the get the jerkbait. They were eating it head first no short strikes. Majority of the bass came off of mid lake points but we had a few come off the north side riprap. For working the jerkbait I would start with either one or two pops of the rod then pause for roughly two seconds before I did one or two pops again. They usually hit it after the pause, but I had a few the biggest of the day hit it during the twitching of the rod. Leaving it in the strike zone for as long as possibly really allowed me to capitalize on the bass being aggressive especially in the deeper water where they swam up to get my jerkbait.

Fish were on shallow rocky points and stumps in shallow pockets. Most fish were two pounds or less, but I caught a few over three, too. I caught more than 50 bass over two days.

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueSoft Body Swimbaits (Small/Medium)SeasonFallStructureDocksFished a club tournament on Lake Anna and caught largemouth on main lake docks with water depths between 10 and 15 feet on the outer edge. I also caught fish on docks within coves and creeks where the docks were within 100 to 150 feet of the main lake. Continuing warm weather has kept most fish from transitioning to fall locations and patterns, which is why main lake cover and structure played a prominent part in most anglers, including my own, fishing last Saturday. I caught fish by skipping Keitech Swing Impact Swimbaits (bluegill flash) rigged on 1/8oz Gamakatsu Horizon Head Jigs under docks. I also caught bass on the edge of docks on lightly weighted, Texas rigged Zoom Trick worms (black) on Mustad Alpha Point Alpha-Grip Finesse Hooks (1/0).
SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueStructure JigsSeasonWinterStructureLedgesFished Lake Anna's hot side last Friday and caught 20+ bass in four hours. Most of the fish were in the 1 to 2 pound class, but I found a few over 2.5 pounds. All fish were sitting on dropoffs, where the water fell from 4 or 5 feet into 10 to 20 feet of water. I caught fish on a variety of lures, including crankbaits, soft plastics, and small swimbaits, but I had the best success with a 3/8oz jig-and--pig combination. I tried a 1/2oz jig initially, but the bass preferred the slower fall of the lighter jig.
