Proud of MLAGS Associate Guide Lewis Williams and his son on their second place finish in today’s Sturgeon Creek Marina Elite Series tourney. They had 18.52 lbs.

Ethan Seltzer’s Ground Force crew with MLAGS Associate guide Lewis Williams and I this morning. Clouds changed the bite but we figured enough out to keep ‘em casting and caught a few along the way.

Here’s a nice summer rack of Lake Anna greenbacks Ed Wicht and I caught this morning and released back at Highpoint Marina - Lighthouse Inn after a quick pic. Note the vintage Dave's Tournament Tackle cap. Water 82-85 now. One unit at North Anna is down for refueling, fyi. Hotside VERY low and main lake right at two feet down. 10% of the lake has 90% of the fish!

Note the difference between a bass that has been feeding well this summer and one that has issues. Interestingly, the skinny fished coughed up a soft plastic jerkbait as we reeled it in. Dr. Howard caught the healthy fish down lake around hydrilla.

Many of you ask what days I can guide you. My usual response is: let me know what day you can go and I'll see if MLAGS can accommodate you, as we have a bullpen filled with talented associate guides like Lewis Williams, Phil Harris, Chris Jones, Tim Covington, John Worsky and Trevor Lanham. When I cannot guide or am already booked, these men represent. I do have the following dates available to personally guide: September 8, October 22, 23, 26 and 30, November 9-12, December 4, 30 and 31. I hope we can share a boat with you and your crew this fall. For those of you that are good planners, I will also open my 2027 dates (think winter lunkers and saugeyes) November 1. Our winter fishing is excellent and with El Nino it might be very mild this year.

Josh and Jenny with a nice brace of summer largemouth for release post photo back at Highpoint Marina - Lighthouse Inn. I made an adjustment today and instead of making the fish come to us, we went to them with a classic summer finesse tactic. Made the difference.

Kinda cool morning at 61 degrees and the lake down to 80 in some areas, still 88 in others. Ed Hanley and I lost our first two fish but rallied and ended up with a nice batch. Many bass now on small bait down lake. Striper are on the move!

Always fun to fish some place totally different than Lake Anna. My son and I visited the Chickahominy River yesterday and targeted tidal largemouth in grass and lily pads.

That’s more like it! Pops (Tony) and his grandsons had a Lake Anna Hat Trick of largemouth bass, wiper and crappie this morning. Fun with the young and the young at heart - this is one of my favorite kinds of trip.
