BASS- Fishing is in FULL BLOWN WINTER PATTERN at this time. Look for fish to be on main lake points, channel bends, humps, rock piles and deep brush piles. On sunny days, the fish will move up in the water column to feed. My favorite baits this time of year are suspending jerk baits, blade baits like the Damiki Vault & Riverside Ripper, Toothache Spoons and Pig & Jig combinations. Look for schools of bait fish and the fish should not be to far behind them. Diving birds like Loons are a great indicator of bait fish being present.
STRIPER- The striper are spread out throughout the lake at this time. There are schools down lake in the Dike 3 area, around the mouth of Sturgeon Creek, the Splits have been a hot zone lately. Cast the North Anna Bait Co. Swim N Minnow rigged on a 1/4oz jig head to schools of feeding fish. Once the fish go deeper in the water column, it is time to break out the blades and spoons and vertical jig them up! If you see the Gulls diving, being stealthy is a must. Do not run all the way up to them, this will spook the feeding fish. Shut your boat down at least 100 yards from the activity and ease in with the trolling motor, casting the entire way!
CRAPPIE- The Specks are really schooled up on the bridge pilings at this time. Small minnows rigged on either slip bobbers or on a jig head will produce the best results. Look for them to be from 12-30 feet of water.

Longtime pro bass angler Tim Horton announced today he has founded a company called Profound Outdoors that will produce and market a range of fishing lures via a direct sales approach.
It was also announced that fellow pro anglers Boyd Duckett, Edwin Evers, Randy Haynes, Kelly Jordon, Gary Klein, Aaron Martens, Cliff Pace, Matt Reed along with former Dallas Cowboys player Gerald Sensabaugh, an avid angler, will be part of the company’s pro staff.
The company’s products, billed as “high-end, affordably-priced baits,” will range from jigs and spinnerbaits to soft plastics and hard baits.
“Profound Outdoors is a team that connects the grassroots anglers and fans with the top pros,” Horton said. “The pros design our lures based on their experience. The grassroots anglers and fans sell the lures. We are the first company to integrate direct sales into the distribution of professional-quality fishing baits.”
According to Horton, consumers can purchase Profound Outdoors products at wholesale prices and resell them or take advantage of the low prices for adding baits to their personal tackle supply. Price ranges for the new products were not included in the announcement.
“It’s entirely up to the team member,” Horton said. “They can sell the lures part-time or use them to start a full-time business or they can just buy them for their own use.”
