Heading for Lake Anna (Dike 3 Cold Side) Tomorrow (Feb 2, Saturday)

[ComeOnFish]

I am working in the morning so I will be there at 8:30-9:00am

Chance of catching a keeper striper (20" minimum) : 5 %

Parking Lot Address: 3611 Moody Town Rd. Bumpass, VA

No kayak cart required. I usually carry a kayak about 80-90 feet from the parking lot barricade rocks

I won't catch herring for live bait tomorrow. I will troll or jig for striper
If feeding birds are present, I may use 1/4oz jog and 3.5" swim bait
Otherwise bring 3/4-2oz jig and smaller lures (5-7"). Striper in Lake Anna behave differently even though they are the same Chesapeake Bay strand.
I will bring the water-proof gloves

Here is the video showing a typical day in the cold side by Dike 3:

wfauby,
I couldn't fish on Saturday because I had to work whole day. I went on Sunday and posted the report on VA forum. I put a footage of Warm side kayak lunch on the report.

Let me know when you consider Lake Anna. I will be fishing Lake Anna until the end of March or Tog start biting
