I am headed to Ed Allen's Campground this weekend to do some fishing. It will be my first time on the Chick River and I was curious of what types of baits would be best for largemouth up there. Thanks 

Ed. Allen is on the Chickahominy Lake, not the river.

 

I believe there is a passage across the dam into the Chick River.

 

Bass will be on their beds. So some suggested baits:

Crankbaits

Spinnerbaits

Chatterbaits

Shaky Head Trick Worms

Finesse Worms

Carolina Rig with Lizard

Lipless Crankbaits and Jerkbaits

Lizard to drag through any beds you can see (Don't forget your polarized sunglasses)

First thing in the morning frogs, buzzbaits, poppers or toads in the areas where the pads are or will be, very soon.

Fish the dam area in Chick River.

 

As for Chick Lake, the two creeks, Lacy and Johnston (find them on a map) should be good as many places on Chick Lake this time of year.

 

You will have to throw all you have until you find the pattern.

 

With all the rain we are getting yesterday and today the Chick may be a little stained to dirty. Lots of creeks to fish plus the canals in the subdivision.

 

Get a GMCO map of the Chick and Chick Lake and you will find many places to fish.

 

Please do two things for us: First, go to Introductions and introduce yourself. Second, add your physical location so we can help you better by knowing where you fish in the future.

 

Be safe and good luck.
