davi754 Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Louisa Va. Here. I was looking for a club that would take a non boater also, so I could get the experience. I checked from Richmond to northern va, to shanandoah valley. Everybody I talked to didn't have anything available. But that was a month ago, things may have changed. If anybody has a seat on a boat, and would offer it, I would help with gas, and net your fish. Probably won't have to net anything I catch! Hahahaha. I don't mind driving where ever. Just cant on Sundays untill after 12:30. Let's fish, cold weather go away! Quote

AreWeFishingYet Posted February 22, 2014 Author Posted February 22, 2014 What a nice weekend it has turned out to be. I think tomorrow morning I'm going to hit the lakes/ponds in my neighborhood. Can't wait to get a boat! Quote

stevecastle Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Sterling/Dulles here. Starting to sort through all the gear in anticipation. Should have a boat this year at last! Quote
VAHunter Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 Chesapeake, VA for me. Hey WdyCrankbait, I fish Suffolk just about every weekend. I was on Prince Sunday and Burnt Mills last Thursday. Those are some great lakes. I also fish the local rivers in SE VA and NE NC. Quote
endless Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 AreWeFishingYet- What part of Ladysmith? With you mentioning ponds and lakes in the neighborhood I'm guessing Lake Land Or or Lake Caroline? I use to live in Bowling Green which is in Caroline county if never been. My mother still lives out there. Now I am in Stafford behind the Geico on 17. I use to fish and recommend you going and getting your AP Hill permit. If still the same price it was $20 but you'll need your Va fishing license and be able to pass a background check. Allot of the fishing ponds and lakes but only a few are you can fish from shore without much limitations like Beaverdam pond and Fish Hook lake. I wasn't a fan of Fish hook I think it's more for pan fish if anything. There were some ponds that I was looking to hit but you need more like a small jon boat that you can carry by hand or kayak. Some of the ponds and lakes in there do have an boat ramp. If ever try in there with boat I recommend Travis lake upper I think. It's the one with the ramp. Bowies pond, Smoots, and White lake. I wish I tried Laser range pond. Beverdam has a ramp as well but when I fished it you didn't need a boat. You can walk the whole pond no problem besides the tall grass. Bowie, Smoot's lower, and Whites lake you can get fish and launch a boat outside of AP Hill. You will still need your permit and Smoot's, White's lake requires you to call to see if open due to sometime training in those areas. Also Caroline Pines in CC has excellent ponds and lakes. I use to fish them all the time till they fenced the main lake in. I'm not even sure if can even put a boat in there now. This year I'm looking forward to trying to Curtis lake and possibly Mott's run. I would definitely keep an eye out on Craiglist for a boat or jon boat. Especially jon boat. Never buy new. I did and my goodness I could of saved a fortune if didn't. 1 Quote

NoSpoon Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Hello everyone! I am new to the forum but not new to Bass fishing. I live in Chesapeake and like to fish the local lakes around here and in Suffolk, Norfolk. I make it out to Gaston as much as possible too. Good Luck!!! Quote
