central va meet and greet/ fun tournament

[s13john]

well summer fishing can get kinda dull and well theirs alot of people from central va on here. so,say sandy river reservoir sometime in the up coming weeks.

any one intrested? 

[racer894]

Are there places to shore fish, as I am land bound.  :

[Brian4618]

Id be interested, but any other lakes or rivers than Sandy?

[Tallent88]

very interested where is sandy ???

[Sam]

Sandy Creek Reservoir by Farmville.

Trolling motors, only.

Not good for bank fishing.

If we go we will need some guys with boats to take a nonboater with them.

If we want to meet where we can bank fish we will need to find another location, such as the Innsbrook pond by the office buildings on Cox Road.

sandy river is under 10hp. I hate correcting people cause i feel like a jerk  :-/ but I dont want anyone misinformed.

How is Sandy River's fishing this time of year or lately? Whats Sandy like? Never been down there. Are you guys set on this location or do you have any other fisheries in mind?

[racer894]

Interested, but what about another location closer to Richmond?

[Brian4618]

Thats what I was wondering, what about Swift Creek? Anyone else have any other places closer to central VA?

[hokiefisherman93]

Lake Rooty (Innsbrook lake) has always produced fish for me and is great fishing, but there are no boats/canoes/kayaks allowed on the lake.

[hookingem]

Id be down to meet up at anytime i have a 15ft jon with a 9.9 but pocohontas or amelia wildlife or powhatan would all be closer options.

we could do swift creek its just an electric only. but still dont have much for shore fisherman unless they have permission to fish in woodlake or b-mill, plus its probably a pain for any one to launch with a jon at the public ramp. i dunno options so far

1. sandy river res

2. briery (no tourny)

3. swift creek

4. Powhatan lake

please add if you have more ideas

[hookingem]

pocohontas state park

Chickahominy Lake? not much for shore fishing but there are no motor restrictions.

[racer894]

I would like to shore fish, just for the simple fact that I have never fished from a boat (I am a newbie at fishing). I would automatically lose any kind of tournament  :-?

[Nitrofreak]

Would lake Anna be out of the question?

I don't know if any of my daughters will join me and I know my wife will go for sure, If it is just the 2 of us I can put one on my boat.

I also have a 14' jon boat that if i can figure out how to bring it seats 3

[Syppy]

Would definitely be down for getting together with anyone willing. I could also stand Lake Anna, it's not that far away.  But my little tiny boat might get rolled on something that big. I could do any of the smaller reservoirs too.

If the wife doesn't come along, I got room for one on my boat =).

[Brian4618]

Im just gonna put up a poll to see where everyones at on location, cause im very interested in this. Ill put the locations already mentioned

[racer894]

I voted for Innsbrook just because those have been on my to do list for a while and its shore fishing

[Tallent88]

i also vote for innsbrook nice fish there fun and everyone has same fun from land couple ponds right near one another and its relatively close to Powhatan Amelie Richmond chesterfield no more than about 30 min from any of them i say lets go there Pocahontas isn't great for fishing to me . the dam produces some dinks briery is pretty far for most of us not to mention with a big group it would be extremely overwhelming for newbies it is like i95 out there on the water. swift creek is electric and i have never seen or heard of anything being of size  or quantity caught out there my experience is to both that and Pocahontas is extremely over fished  so maybe Powhatan lake or sandy river if people think this would be a good place defiantly think its a great idea  ;D ;D glad to see people in Virginia trying to get together

[heyitskirby]

Is Powhatan Lake actually producing now?  Or are you guys talking about the ponds?

[Aluma-Bass]

powhatan lakes are producing but biggest is going to be no bigger then 3lbs range since lakes are young but they are reproducing nicely! I live on powhatan lakes rd! Im going to hit powhatan lakes up in the morning and try for a topwater bite. Im game for sandy or Powhatan lakes!! 8-)

[Bigs]

being that I just bought a house in central va this might be something I would be down for. Guess I am no longer a NOVA guy  I havent been out on my bassboat in a month so Im itchin to fish:( Cold side of lake anna would be fun or Chick lake.

[s13john]

^were did you move to in central va

chick lake is a hike and a half for me

its 30-40 min to sandy/briery for me and about an hour if your coming from Richmond and their both great lakes 

[Nitrofreak]

I voted for the cold side of lake Anna.

It's already a 2 hour hike from my house but I think launching from the state park would supply enough room for everyone so far and should provide enough land for those who want to fish from shore.

Racer894,

This is a fun tourny no need to worry about winning or losing, It's all about getting to know people and do some fishing.

Newbie or not we all are going to learn something from this experience.
