To start off this is my first report. I have enjoyed this forums reports/post even though i don't fish sml regularly. In fact, this is only the second time i've fished it. I fish Lake Anna out of a Carolina Skiff 21 DLX. My wife (who is also crazy about striper fishing) and I left early Tuesday morning at 5 am on a 3 hr. drive to the lake with intentions of getting day bait but doubtful as to whether we would be able to pull it off. Well....after launching the boat 20 minutes later we had a full tank of bait and it was never a problem throughout the trip. The back of creeks were loaded with bait. The second challenge we had was locating the fish. We started off "sight seeing" trying to mark some fish with little luck until we got to the dam where we saw a small school of stripers. Dropped downlines...no takers. Decided to work some creeks with planers (lite and free lines) as that was where we marked all the bait. Turned out to be a good decision as we landed 40+ stripers during the 4 day trip, 30 of which we captured on the gopro. Most fish hit on free lines. Numerous times we had on doubles. The average fish was 25"-28" with only one making it to the 30" mark (all fish were released). We had a great time and are already looking forward to the next trip.

Great video! Thanks for posting. My wife doesn't fish so I might have to show her your video and see if I can get her to change her mind.
