Here are three GPS Locations where I have caught 5 Bass over 5 LBS ea at different times of the year and these spots have been consistent from year to year. All three are up around Jetts Island. I hit these locations frequently when I am out. Most of the time I get nothing; but! every now and then I go there and whack a couple of good ones. 3 of the 5 Bass over 5 LBS came during the month of February on the same afternoon and within an hour of one another. All of the fish were caught on an original silver buddy. No birds were working but bait was present. Water Temp in the lower 50’s. It was one of those days when everything was eating. I caught Striper, Bass, Crappie, Perch and 3 Walleye.
The other two I caught this past Dec. Once again both fish came within an hour of one another. Both were caught on a ½ Oz KVD Strike King Spinner bait. Chartreuse and White. Water Temp was in the upper 40’s. One I caught in the exact same location as the others I caught in FEB. The other one was 5 LBS 14 Oz caught in front of Jetts Island. (These two fish anchored a 20+ LB Day) I had to wait for another angler to work it first and after he moved on I worked it. I weighed it in at Anna Point Marina for the Dec big fish contest. I really thought I had the 100.00 bucks so I stopped chasing Bass for the rest of the month and tried to find some big striper. Big mistake! I was edged out by another angler that weighed one that went 6LBS. Let me know if you need any further clarification, details or if it is too much info.
N 38.07.058 X W 77.50.490: Front of Jetts Island, 5 LB 14 Oz. Bass, in DEC. Boat was in 17 foot of water and I was making longs casts at a 45 degree angle to the bank. Slow rolling a Spinner Bait.
N38.07.292 X W 77.50.538: One 5+ LB Bass in FEB. Boat was in 15 feet of water and I was casting in the direction of window pane.
N38.07.283 X W 77.50.502: Three 5+ LB Bass; 2 in FEB and one in Dec. Boat was in 15 foot of water and I was casting at a 45 degree angle to the bank. Slow rolling a spinner bait: Casting and ripping back a silver buddy.
Do not expect to roll in there and get bit in a couple of minutes. These are great locations and I will get em probably one out of every 10 or 15 times I work these banks. I encourage you to look at these locations on a Lake Anna Map and Study the details of these spots. By the time I am done you will discover and know exactly what to look for when you are searching for larger than average bass. Good Luck ! A couple of more will be coming next week.
