Jkt23113 Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 What’s up guys!! My name is JT and I’m from midlothian. I’m a sophomore at john Tyler. I love freshwater and saltwater fishing. I’m looking forward in talking with you guys and maybe meeting a new saltwater kayak fishing buddy. I’d love that since it’s going to be my first time on the waters. 1 Quote
68camaro Posted January 4, 2018 Posted January 4, 2018 Welcome, I am in Chesterfield. I kayak but don't do saltwater (or haven't) but will be trying for stripers this March/April next to I-95 bridge on James. Quote

Absolutely, love to have you. I live halfway between you and Briery just off Hull Steet. Also, Daniel the moderator of the Central VA kayak meetup group fishes Briery most every Monday afternoon to evening (his day off). He posts the event for others who want to show up on the Central Virginia kayak page on meetup.com, Daniel and his friend Amy are super nice folk. Once the ice melts I will try to get out there on a weekend and will shoot you email. Plus I am off the 15th and if ice gone I would like to get out then. In early December in frigid weather I caught a 5.45lb'er jigging a Binkly Blade. Quote

Hey guys. Hope you two meet to do some fishing later this year. As for fishing for stripers out of Ancarrows, I suggest you both scout out the place so you will know how to get there; the problem crossing the railroad tracks when the trains stop; where to park; practicing hiding everything in your vehicle or taking it out before you go and locking the vehicle and trailer; the nice ramp they have; and the water that you will be fishing. Ancarrows is elbow to elbow guys fishing for stripers. In fact, it is so packed you can probable walk across the Historic James River by jumping from boat to boat only to have the fishermen along the bank holler at you to get out of their territory. When launching and trailering your kayaks please have one of you stay with the boats as the other gets his vehicle and trailer. Have fun; get some shad darts at Green Top; use light line and spinning gear or fly fishing stuff; and wear your PFD and have some fun. And by the way, as an unnecessary reminder, please have your Virginia fresh water fishing license with you. Hit the Richmond Fishing Expo this month up in Doswell and ask the guys at the DG&IF about Ancarrows along with the kayak guys who will be there. Happy New Year! 1 Quote
68camaro Posted January 7, 2018 Posted January 7, 2018 Thanks Sam, great info. I am super excited about the Stripers, for last 10 years I've worked on 18th floor in downtown Richmond overlooking the James and spent way too much time looking at the striper fishers below 95. This year I will be with them and can't wait. I will be at the Doswell Fishing show and will look for DGIF folk Quote

It would be cool to learn more about kayak fishing from y’all since you guys are more likely experienced than I Am. I’m planning on buying the perception Stiker 115, but I have to save up first 1 Quote
68camaro Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 JKT23113, sounds good, once ice clears I'll post some dates people can get together. Remember, watch you nickels and dimes and your dollars will follow. Quote
