I have a friend that catches GOOD smallmouth at Pony Pasture!  He has caught BIG fish in eddy pockets behind rocks that would have people sunbathing on them.  Its pretty crazy.  Spinning tackle and Zoom centipede...all you need.

if you coming from the city and go over the hugenot bridge you take your first right following the bridge.  its right when the bridge ends and you turn right when you come to the T intersection and follow it all the way down.  its part of the james river park systems

Went to innsbrook and had a good day today catching two around 3lbs and 4 dinks. Would have been better if this guy was not in a spot i wanted to fish i watched him catch 10 within 1 hour and all of his were 3+lbers I caught one of my big ones on a wacky rigged senko and the other on a power bait finness worm

[cmatthews6485]

Still in need of a fishing partner i met hokiefisherman and have been with him twice hes a good fisherman as well but i fish pretty much every day when i get off work most of the time i go by myself which is still fun but its not as fun when you dont have anyone to talk to. anyone in the richmond or surronding areas looking to fish hit me up

[Shawn OConnor]

[cmatthews6485]

I am now hooked on strike king rage tail baits. I have caught alot on my space monkey in black and blue and my 7' andaconda in red shad. I love the action that the tail on the andaconda has.

[cmatthews6485]

Now that the weather is colder and we have got some more fresh rain the fishing should really start getting better for september and october

i thought that so went yesterday to a local pond near me that belongs to the base. the water was 76 degrees and caught nothing had some strikes but a few of those. one monster hit though i think it had to be another bowfin the way it splash on top of water. i was frogging in the lilies so i hope you and all ave better luck and me next time out lol.

man yesterday was bad for me besides not catching anything had all sorts of trouble next time im listening to my gut feelings stay home lol.

I live in New Kent county and am new to this forum. I am looking forward to reading all the input from the local Va bassers. I used to bass fish alot but had to give it up for a few years. Just bought a boat and rigging it for bassin and will fish most of the reservoir local to the area. Would appreciate any help eith Diascund, Little Creek, Waller Mill, Beaver Dam and Chick lake.

You need to learn how to properly weigh a bass.  Im getting tired of seeing people punch holes in the mouth.   Either get a bag and or a scale with jaw grabbers.  

[cmatthews6485]

If you weigh it right like he did it doesnt punch a whole in the mouth so if you dont know your facts then dont trash on someone else

I agree strongly with you dauberangler.  I hate seeing fish caught and then people trying to weigh them and causing more harm than good.  People need to learn how to use a scale!

[cmatthews6485]

But he didnt poke a hole in the mouth he did it right and did it threw the bottom of the gill so it doesnt poke a hole

...EXACTLY!!!

Hey guys, I have an idea, let's not make it our sole intention to beat up other anglers.  

1 - he didn't do anything wrong so far as I can see, lik dude said, under the gills, no harm, no foul right?  

2 - If there is a problem weighing them that way or any other non-intentional offense, then politely offer help.  I am not trying to be too PC and all but crappin on ppl for no good reason is pretty silly.  Tight lines!

[Shawn OConnor]

Exactly.  Know your facts before you start bashing people.  I would never poke a hole, that's just dumb.

On a new note, thinking bout going out tomorrow and maybe monday.  Was thinking about hitting either Hunting Run or the Rez.  Anyone know how the fishing has been out on either of those lately?

[Wayne P.]

I fished Hunting Run on Friday 4th. and caught a bunch but mostly small ones.

I'll probably go there tomorrow. It is closed on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

i fish there quite a bit myself hunting run. my pb is from there a 4.2 lber. if not from the county though it will run $7 for the pass and $3 for the launch if have own boat. you can buy a year pass i want to say for 27 but its end when lake closes i think in october something. wayne p knows more about that. i will be getting my year pass when reopen and also im buying both passes ni and hunting run.

ni res i want to try next. i hear alot about it from the guy in gander mountain.and the older guy who works in the hunting run shack. he fishes ni too. hes a very nice man. i sit in there usually talk to him for at least an half hour or so every time hes working. youll see him sometimes fishing with his son in hunting run too. just about everyone is nice to fish around. seems like everyone one fishing gets along well easy to talk to. i had guy help me with my depth finder in middle of the lake one time. but anyways i like the lake alot.

[Wayne P.]

endless, all the passes are for both lakes. The lake closes on Oct 12 until March.

I have caught several 7#+ bass at Hunting Run and my largest this year is 6-2.

The guy in the rental shack was suprised to see me there today since I usually don't fish on weekends. Dr. apportments messed up my weekday fishing this week.

I can't take my boat to Ni since no gas motors are allowed on it.
