August 2018 Lake Anna Lake Report by Chris Craft

As we head into August, we are usually greeted with below normal lake levels and above normal water temps. This year however, the lake is at FULL POOL and we are only in the low to mid 80’s with surface temps. 

The popular Sunday Morning Bass Series is going well with a 20 boat average. There are nine more SMBS Events scheduled through September. The SMBS Fall Classic (100% payback) is Scheduled for Sunday October 21 from 7am-3pm. All you need to do is fish one regular season event to be eligible. 

Talk around the lake is about the upcoming 2018 Angler Appreciation Tournament on Saturday October 27 (Make up date for weather will be on Sunday October 28, 2018). We will start taking entry fees on Saturday August 4 at 5:30am. The entry fee is $120 and includes big fish. Boat numbers will be assigned in the order that entries are received.

There have been a few changes in this years event. We will not be doing catered food, instead the monies that was spent on that will be put into the tournament prize monies. 

As in the past, there will be three flights of boats that are seperated by 15 minutes each. 

1st Flight- Boats 1-50 7:30am-3:30pm2nd Flight- Boats 51-100 7:45am-3:45pm3rd Flight- Boats 101-150 8:00am-4:00pm

BASS- Concentrate your efforts in deeper water this time of year. There is a small window of opportunity first thing of a morning with a top water bite, this is however very inconsistent. This bite happens around the many balls of shad and herring fry throughout the lake. They will push bait to the surface and feed very heavily for a few minutes and then they are done.
