Briery creek VA going first time

[68camaro]

Fishing Briery Creek for first time tomorrow? Anyone been there and can you offer any advice? I will be in kayak. I know there's very large 10lb + bass there,

So how did you do?

Lousy until I met up with a couple of the Central Kayak meetup folks.  They've fished here quite a bit so fishing with them I was able to get a couple, largest being 3.65lbs on a 5' crankbait which for me is a really nice fish.  All our fish were in the 15-20" range.  

 

I usually fish ponds and Swift Creek Resevoir which are shallow with a ton of vegetation, so Briery was nice difference being deep with a lot of timber but barely any vegetation.   In my usual spots my fishfinder is really of limited use but on Briery it really proved itself useful and I was able to see how helpful it is.

Gbassman, When we were there we all caught some and some guys at doc afterward had good luck with chatterbaits and caught 5lb+.   

 

I have heard alot of good reports here so I plan to get back soon.
