Fished a club tournament on Lake Anna during the pouring rain and wind. The weather started poorly, improved slightly around noon, and worsened an hour before weigh-in with a line of severe thunderstorms. I actually got off the water as the storms approached, leaving more than an hour of fishing time on the lake. But, I have had too many close encounters with lightening, and I no longer take chances with it. I caught bass through out the day, but I lost four good fish that would have really helped my weight. Unfortunately, I tried to horse them in, as my 82-year old co-angler had trouble with the net. I would up with a small limit of largemouth, most of whom I caught off of stumps or submerged grassbeds. But, it was still a great day on the water!

Practiced for a tournament to be held on April 26 and found a few spawning bass on stumps in main lake pockets. I caught several nice bass, like the 4lber pictured, on a variety of soft plastics, including a weightless Yum Dinger and a lightly weighted Strike King Rage Bug. I also caught a few on Neko-rigged Zoom Trick Worm. The accuracy of casts was critical, as most bass did not want to leave the stumps to chase lures away.
