James Brown and Tony Richards of Annapolis used a spinnerbait to catch a bass that went 5 pounds 15 ounces. A buzzbait worked for Mike Wright of Bumpass. The upper end of the lake continues to produce nice catches of landlocked striped bass. At High Point Marina, Carlos said Mike and Anne Colitti of W. Chester, PA and John and Amanda Morhan of Spotsylvania each caught limits of stripers. Sea shads, Sassy Shads, bucktails and live bait are catching the stripers.
Crappie fishing is also good around brushpiles, docks and bridge abutments.
Fishing has been slow here. A one pound bluegill was also landed. Two lady anglers brought a 32-pound flathead catfish to the scales at Fountainhead Park. Bass fishing is slow. A two-day tournament was won with a catch of only 11 pounds.
