I'll be heading towards central Va around mid may and will be visiting Briery Creek and Sandy River for the very first time. I'll be fishing from a kayak and looking for info that may help me cut down the learning curve on these waters. I'm a big fan of kayak bass fishing and have watched a ton of shows with Chad Hoover and the KBF gang.... looking to see if I can figure out where the "Pig Pen" is located on Briery Creek. Thanks guys!!!

I have fished both but I fish Sandy more often...(Not since last summer however because of military training).  From May to August last year, I caught most of my fish in heavy cover with black/blue laminate senkos, black/blue Yum Christie Craws, and green pumpkin Zoom Speed Craws. (All texas rigged except fished the senkos weightless.)  Also I have caught plenty of fish on squarebills on the banks. Throw squarebills and lipless crankbaits on the rocks (the dam) to the left when coming out of the boat ramp area.  Before your trip, check the Navionics Web App for good areas. Good luck to you. Hopefully someone will chime in about Briery.
