Do any of you people from the West End know what lake this is or heard anything about it? I just read this and thought I would share... http://www.nbc12.com/Global/story.asp?S=12776034

Where exactly is this pond behind Martins?

I may head out tonight, see how they are biting after this mini storm moves through...

I really want to try some of these West End ponds one day if it cools off enough to go. It sounds like many of them are better to fish off hours/on weekends due to business operations and their location. I am just worried about getting in trouble for fishing in some of these locations with trespassing and such. :

I'm interested in fishing the west end area after joining this forum!

Hah yea I don't have a scale or anything, I am just a beginner. I might be interested in that Quantum reel that you mentioned in another post you wanted to sell as well. Gotta get me a new tacklebox as well, my one tray box just isn't cutting it anymore.

Maybe tomorrow evening? I am going to a private pond in Amelia tomorrow morning and fishing for a few hours. I had fun at the private pond this morning, it didn't produce like usual but caught 2 good, around 4lb bass, 5 other 1-2 pounders, about 6 nice crappie, and 2 bluegill. The owner didn't know how the bluegill got in his pond, haha. Here are 2 pictures of the biggest bass, its all i took.

hopefully just gazebo

The grove pond was applying no fishing signs today at the gazebo and i got a dirty look from the woman, so i left without fishing.

I looked that up, and its the kind of line you use, hah I am no professional at fishing, so that doesn't mean much to me. I guess I will have to try this pond out, maybe tonight!

WOW. What did you catch that on?!

Nice, I was there from 7 till it started getting dark, but didnt see you.

Where was this at??

Hey pspbass...I think I might have missed u at enclave today, I went around 11am and stayed till 1, had a job interview at 4 I had to get ready for, which ended up bein a waste of my time. Got a few hits but couldn't catch anything. We should exchange #'s or something so we can better plan when we are gonna be fishin and meet up. If you want you can shoot me a message with yours.

Yea where was this at?? I need some new fishin holes around Richmond.

I may head out there in a while man

I went this morning, didnt catch anything, got one hit back by the bridge. I was only there about 30 mins. I went exploring after that across the street (Wooldridge)to the Grove, there is a pond over there on the right that has a fountain in the middle and a a dock and a gazebo that overlook the pond. Looks like it can be fished all around it, and the only sign I saw was dont feed the geese. Also, down Midlothian behind Fridays, Famous Daves (before you get to Tackle Express) there is a pond but it is overgrown as I found out, at least what I saw of it

hey pspbass, the pics you posted dont look like around the pond at the enclave apartments. Are you fishin the bigger red circled pond or the one across the street in the grove subdivision circled in blue?

lucky man. that thing was big

I did not see one at the big pond. I saw where someone had been fishin iit at the dam though because they left their trash (nightcrawler containers, hook packages, 2 bottles, and an empty cigg pack). People like that are what ruin it for others.

I thought it would be appropriate to share some pictures with you all since I am above the 10 post count and can now post links! The pond itself, late fall or so First bass caught here First bass again Another smaller bass The very first time i casted into the pond, I caught this little guy Catfish caught from back of bridge on bread! A friend caught this cat Friends cat again Hope you all enjoy the pics!

I will be there tomorrow more than likely to wet a line at the dock and try my luck! I am getting into fishing more, kinda a newbie. Anyways, have you seen any snakes here? I saw the biggest one I have ever seen in the wild last time I was there! I just let it be. Also, there are an abundance of turtles and bream. It would be easy to get a net full of them if anyone wanted baitfish.

From Hull Street: * Take Pocoshock to Dell * Left on Dell * Right on Lancashire * Left on Surreywood Drive * Left on Williamstowne Drive Those directions should get you to the pool lot. Let me know how you do man!

For the catfish I use bread and a hook, let it sit for a min or 2 then the cork disappears! For the bass, I use swimming shad. They are called "Mister Shad" http://www.mistertwister.com/information/mister-shad/800#description I have never fished that dock up there. Where are you casting to catch bass, and whats the best you have pulled out of there?
