AreWeFishingYet Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 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. Sorry for the late response, the job has changed and my boat finding days are officially on hold. I am still fishing the lakes and ponds here which are producing pretty well. Land Or is where I'm at, I haven't gotten to anywhere else because I don't have a boat and don't know the area well enough to go somewhere confidently. I appreciate the inside on AP Hill, I didn't know they had all of that water. I used to work on 17, in front of Geico, got to love the traffic in the summer there! Looks like it's going to be another great weekend for fishing. Quote
Sam in Va. Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Sam in Va. here...I live in Fluvanna County and fish Sandy River and Briery frequently. I also enjoy Lake Orange and Ruritan Lake. I have a 17.75 Rhino Jet boat with no jet, but a 9.9 and trolling motors. Looking forward to 60* weather on Saturday! Quote
caq Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 Just moved down to Portsmouth from Alexandria. I'm over in the Churchland area. I can't wait until it warms up a bit. I mostly fish from shore but I've got an intex mariner 4 with a trolling motor that gets me around a lake fairly well. I'm on the lookout for something like a grizzly 1648 so I can upgrade. I left my fishing buddy back in Alexandria so if anyone is recruiting let me know. Quote
