Was thinking about driving up to Pony Pasture to see if I could get a few smallmouth.  Anything been biting lately?  Just looking to do a little wading from shore, I looked today and the water level was 3.4

No idea but give it a shot.

 

Just a reminder: The Historic James River is very unforgiving at the Pony Pasture.

 

One false step and you can be in a world of trouble, all by yourself.

 

If you can take a friend along it will make the adventure safer for both of you guys.

 

And check the weather. We are going to have rain and high winds in the greater Richmond area this weekend.

I ended up going elsewhere that weekend, as it was to much of a drive on a gamble I could fish it.  Tuesday I'm headed to the mountains of Va for smallmouth, keeping my fingers crossed that the water there isn't a high and muddy as here near the Beach

I work downtown and tried fishing Pony Pastures once, didn't have any luck but I am not smallie bass guy so not sure what I was doing even made sense. It looks like a great place with a lot  of pools and rocks.

 

Where did you end up going in mountains and how did you do?

I went to James River State Park, near Gladstone VA.  The water was high and pretty muddy from recent rains, but still managed 5 - 10 smallies a day, best one went about 2 lbs, and lost a 3 lber on a sunken boat.  It was fun and I'll be back there.  Ended up camping for 3 days there right on the river
