Thread: Appomattox on Sun 1/22

just hope you see them young'uns catch a slab!!!

Hi all,

Im new to the board. I tried the BASS thing for a few years bought an NX750 and fished some tournies. Ive since sold the NX750 and purchased an 06 PT 175 / 50hp. I live in Williamsburg and mostly fish Waller Mill, Little creek, Diascund, Chick lake. This is why I got the PT 175 alot easier in the TM only lakes.

I have not been to the Appomattox. I would like to take a trip and check it out. I have always fished for crrapie if the bass were not hungry. So I guess Im still a begginer.

Where is the best place to launch on the Appomattox?? Brad how does your boat do on the rivers? With those 2 boys is it getting a bit crowded? I have a 17 year old myself, he loves to fish. I also have twin 3 year olds that Im giving the fishin bug to. Thanks in advance for any info

You guys are right -on about the fishing buddies. My son fished with me from the time he could walk up until he went to school @ William and Mary. We went through some "muddy water" for about 2 years but now he is back living with me while he goes for his master's @ ODU.
He is my #1 fishing partner and I hope it stays that way for many years

Hey Nitro 134, welcome to the board. All of you that have kids to fish with you are really fortunate. They have a way of growing up and moving away. We have 6 boys. 3 in Fla, 2 in NC and 1 here. The one here likes to fish but never has time. He is a cop with a newborn baby. One of my boys in Fla is coming up to fish with me again this year when we go to the lake in March. I got him "hooked" good on Kerr lake last year.

I put in at whats known as the "Small Boat Harbor" off Puddledock Road. The attached link to their website has directions. I have been taking a left out of the harbor and fishing under the Temple Avenue Bridge and have been having some pretty good luck. http://www.appomattoxboatharbor.com/

As far as the PT 175 goes, it is a great river boat. It definitely can get a little cramped with 3 of us fishing. We generally take turns fishing from the middle. We fished a lot out of a 14' jon boat, so the PT 175 still feels pretty luxurius. Hope this helps.

Squirrel Hunter:

Congradulations on your son's success and still having him in the boat with you. The time spent on the water has obivously had a positive impact.

Brad is not lucid. His sons tell him where to go and how to fish. He is merely a passenger in the boat. If his boys could drive the truck and afford the gas, Brad wouldbe forced to stay at home. I hate to be negative but im just keeping it real.
