Headed to Cherrystone campground this year (virginia) and i was wondering if you guys could help me out. I know there will be plenty of fishing in the Bay to keep me occupied, but i was wondering if there is any lakes/ponds in the area i could get away from the campground and go check out. Thanks in advance!

Thanks this is going to save my back!

I mainly fish plastics and jigs. And i also use some topwaters like spooks and frogs. I recently bought those doug hannon snakes and a couple "walk the dog lures" since im starting to use more "topwater" lures i figured i would look into buying a rod for it. I see where you are coming from with the frog pole...nothing special needed to twitch a frog on some slop...so ill focus in on the topwater rod...ive tried looking up the dobyns rods and i cant find them anywhere...anyone got alink? if i have to buy 2 different rods for both of these setups im not looking to spend a lot of money..but i do want good quality so again...anyone got a link to these dobyn rods?

Well i use mostly the hollow but i also have others...i wanted to get one rod that i could use for anytopwater. And yes i usually fish the frogs in slop. Couldnt find any dobyns rods on cabelas or bass proshop..Im looking at the cabelas Xmlti and i might end up getting that.

I am looking for a new rod for topwater and frog use. What should i be looking for in the rod. Some places are telling me to look at medium heavy while others are saying heavy. Is anything around 7ft good? And is fast action good for this application? Any rods that you use for this type of application ...please tell me. I am not trying to spend more then like 250. Any help would greatly be appreciated. THANKS

I have a 12ft aluminum open V. A friend of mine and me constantly fish this one place around where we live. Only problem is we have to beach the boat on an island, carry the boat and all our supplies up and down a 14 ft hill to put the boat into the lake. This process is beginning to kill my back and my nerves. Ive looked at boat dollys online and they are either for kayaks and canoes or they cost over 200 dollars. Anyone know of a way to either fabricate my own or a cheaper one on the net somewhere. Thanks in advance
