Chickahominy Lake Fishing Report – November 23

Art Conway (804-514-1486) out of Ed Allen’s Boats and Bait reported that
Chickahominy Lake mid-day surface water temperatures were in the low
50’s to high 40’s in the lower lake and in the middle 40’s up the lake
on Wednesday (11/23/2022). The lake level was about even with the top
of the dam. The surface water was light brown and clear in the central
lower lake, with more cloudy water deeper, on windy shorelines, and in
some creeks. The cloudy layer below about 2 feet was less dark than it
was over the last several months.

A few small blue cats, channel cats, and bullheads were scattered on
flats, along drop-offs, and in channels in the main lake, and when
active were hitting live minnows and cut bait. A mixture of sizes of
crappie were on deeper flats or in channels in the main lake and were
slightly active. Active crappie were hitting live minnows best, but
were also occasionally hitting tubes, curly tail grubs, small swim
baits, and small blade baits. White perch were scattered or in loose
aggregates on deep flats, channel edges, and in channels in the main
lake, and when active were hitting small live minnows, swim baits, and
small blade baits. Most bluegill and shellcracker were in channels in
the main lake and were inactive. Pickerel and bass were in creeks and
around cypress trees, on deeper flats and channel edges, and in channels
in the main lake. When active, bass and pickerel were hitting live
minnows, spinnerbaits, swim baits, stick worms, crank baits, and jerk
baits.

Fishing with Art Conway, Tom Porter had 2 crappie, 8 white perch, 1 blue
cat, and 2 pickerel.
