I live next to Lake Mooney and fish three different times but can’t catch anything over a pound.... Mooney have became harder to fish lately... first time out I managed 20+ in five hours? All small though. But yesterday I managed 7. Two did shake me when I went to lip but I’m counting them anyways lol... 

 

I fished Curtis once two weeks ago with my oldest and only manage 6 for the day... all small... VDGIF reports hard fishing but holds 13 lbs??

 

Abel I never fished but I remember hearing when I was an active member four years ago it was very hard to fish... 

 

Ruffins I never been nor have I been near it lately.. is it still accessible?? Do the public still fish it?? 

 

Im going out tomorrow morning and debating where to try....

Been a while since I've been past Rufffin's.  My nephew fishied it last yr I think, so it's still open to the public as far as I know.  Didn't know Curtis held such big bass.  Ever fished Goldman's in Port Royal?  Don't know if it's still accessible but have always been curious about that pond.  Ruffin's has lots of stumps/tree trunks just below the surface so be careful if ya fish it.

At least it’s what is on the VDGIF website about Curtis lol.. 

 

i might have to swing by Ruffins.. 

 

Ruffins sound as bad as Curtis lol.. 

 

never been to the one one in Port Royal
