Updated: March 21st, 2019 by Stan Cobb (Next Update: March 29, 2019) Saltwater- Folks have been doing well catching loads of nice Tautog. The ocean wrecks have been responsible for the majority of these catches. The offshore boats have caught a few wahoo, and good numbers of Blackfin Tuna. Bluefin reports have slowed this week. Surf fishing along the Outer Banks has produced some Blow toads, and Sea mullet. There were Red Drum, and Puppy Drum caught from the point at Hatteras. Freshwater- Bass fishing has really taken off in many places. Smith Mountain Lake produced a 25 lb winning bag, along with several 20+lb bags weighed in. Lake Gaston has been producing quality Bass over the past 2 weeks, despite reports of muddy, or heavily stained water. Kerr is clearing up, especially in the lower lake. Several 18-19 lb bags have been reported by Green Top customers. Chatterbaits, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and jigs have been the most widely reported lures in these lakes. Quality catches of Bass continue to occur at Anna, also. Carolina rigs are starting to be thrown more now. One of the hottest places to fish right now, is the tidal James. The Shad run is occurring, and catches are being reported from the Richmond area of the James. Anglers on the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers are also reporting an increase in the Shad run. Chickahominy Lake Fishing Report – March 20, 2019Posted on March 20, 2019 by Capt. Art Capt. Art Conway of Conway’s River Rat Guide Service (804-514-1486) out of Ed Allen’s Boats and Bait reported that Chickahominy Lake mid-day water temperatures were in the mid 50’s in the lower main lake on Wednesday (3/20/2019) and slightly higher in the major creeks. Temperatures had dropped since Sunday, but will probably be fairly stable over the next several days. The lake level was about 1 inch above the top of the dam. The water was light brown and slightly cloudy in the central lake. Some blue cats and bullheads were along drop-offs and in channels in the main lake while others had dispersed onto flats and into creeks. When active, cats were hitting live minnows and cut bait. Some crappie were still on drop-offs and in channels in the main lake, especially near wood cover, but many have begun moving into the major creeks and the upper end of the lake, especially on sunny days. McCotter's Lake Anna Guide Service With the start of the tournament season upon us (I think Fishers of Men visits this weekend) I wanted to wish everyone good luck as well as try and get a little more regular with a fishing report/forecast. So good luck this weekend and this season, and I hope you find something helpful in our reports.McCotter's Lake Anna Guide Service March Fishing Forecast Overview: Lake Anna is slightly above full pool on the main lake with water temperatures ranging from 42-54 depending on the region and amount of runoff. The up lake region is coolest with the most stained water after nearly five inches of rain fell in the watershed last week. Mid lake is slightly stained and 45-48 on most afternoons. Down lake is 47-53 with visibility down to four feet in most areas. Overwintering threadfin shad have begun to move out of the mid lake region, though many still remain. Bass, striper, wiper, crappie and white perch are still on this bait. The hot zone of bait is from 208 region down to the power plant.
