Welcome to the forum. Hope you find a fishin hole soon.

You can't use a big motor on it but Lake Prince is only about 1-1/2 hours from you. I fished it many years ago and the fishing was great. You have to buy a permit from the county or city i forget. But it doesn't get a lot of pressure and it has some monster bass in it. Plus the shell cracker fishing is unreal. Virginia Game & fish magazine is always running articles on it.

bassackwards · 02-19-09, 09:50 PM

thanks ill look in to it

czoom · 02-19-09, 10:03 PM

What kind of boat?

Captmikestarrett · 02-19-09, 10:17 PM

What about Duck creek and hot ditch and so many backwaters in your area.. Any long creek/river will have LGMouth at the end down there..

Also Northeast river is only one hour south of you..

ill look in to those see if i can find them

Captmikestarrett · 02-21-09, 07:54 AM

North side of Currituck is still great also.

You will need to learn tides to fish that area.

One of my greatest nights was fishing Hampton Roads bridge-tunnel in the cool evening of the late summer. Hooked and released over forty Rojo Trambone before midnight.

Captmikestarrett · 02-21-09, 09:45 AM

I won a tourney on the Chic back in 1978 on the wing dams and anchored my stringer in the pits with a 6lb er on a speed shad.

Have not fished it since..

Ran maybe 6 miles all day from the launch.

do you know if on these shall lakes that say no gas moters can you use a big boat if you unhook the gas from moter?

Captmikestarrett · 02-21-09, 03:05 PM

Some do allow it but others ask you to remove the gas tank..

Lakes Like Beaverdam in Gloucester require a special pass to launch your own boat..

It is different on each lake..

Google it..
